You can’t tell me someone in his camp didn’t know something about the history of the court house where they picked to film this video.. They picked it for a reason. If you have seen the video you will I know why I say that.

I have heard the song once, not seen the video. The gist of the song, from what I heard, is that in a small town you conform to conservative standards or we will put a boot up your ass. Like every other Jason Aldean song I have heard, there is no reason I would ever subject myself to it again. (I'm from a small town, current population 1701, down from 4000+ when I lived there. It's a dying little town.)

No shade to a small town living. I'm a city person and we currently live in a smaller community which is very rural.. it has it's pro's and con's some of it I love and some of it I don't.. I personally prefer a larger city, which I feel more at home so hopefully we can move back to so calif. some day.. It's a preference. I must say I do feel safer in a large city.. I don't like people shooting their guns off when they live right across the road from me.. a stones throw... .. he learned.. I told him if I see that gun again, I'm going to shove it up his *&*.. Well, i don't remember saying that but my husband, who was on the phone with me, remembers vividly. Anyway... I don't care for Aldean as a artist or as a person.. I think his message is a dog whistle.. hypocritical... spitting on cops I guess is okay only when angry people with red hats do it.. That's all I'm saying.

I live in a small town in Wisconsin. I’d say we are 50/50 with this kind of thinking. I’d like to think we out number those that find comfort in this song but I have to be honest, I’m feeling 50/50 at best, as I did ten years ago.

I can't imagine a northeastern small town being close to 50/50. Black Lives Matter images deleted from Jason Aldean's 'Small Town' video www.yahoo.com/entertainment/black-lives-matter-images-deleted-221016129.htmlClearly meant to be more in your face provocation while claiming innocence or ignorance, or both. Reminds me of local talk radio commercials for termites and another for erectile dysfunction. All kinds of tropes and dog whistles that have nothing to do with their services. |

Quote by Dianna re. Jason Aldean:
And there's also the possibility that, while he must obviously believe in all this verbal diarrhea (he has said as much in the past), he is doing this at least in part because that is all Aldean has to offer anymore, given that the country music is trying to wean itself away from that decrepit "bro-country" that Aldean and those of his ilk had been spewing since at least 2008. If he didn't do this kind of dog whistle shtick, he'd have nothing left (IMHO).

If he didn't do this kind of dog whistle shtick, he'd have nothing left (IMHO). He seems like another blustering blow hard pandering to his fans to sell records. I'm sure in his mind, he truly believes all of that... AND If I recall, during that horrible Las Vegas shooting in 2017, Aldean was performing live when the shooting broke out.. which left 61 dead and hundreds wounded .. Once Aldean realize what was going on he got off that stage faster than a rat up a drainpipe.. I would not hold that against anyone.. except for the fact he tries to act like a bad a** in that song. |

Yes, he tries, that's the operative word. But of course he just ends up being a bad a**hole instead. And a redneck cracker a**hole to boot.
