Try That in a Small Town



This one is really making some waves.

The snowflakes definitely do not like it.

Yeah, try that in a small town!  

It's a new song from Jason Aldean (who sings it, but didn't write it).  And it's generating some anger!

Country Music Television (CMT) says it will no longer air the music video "Try That In a Small Town" by Jason Aldean after critics of the video said it contained lyrics that glorified gun violence and conveyed traditionally racist ideas.

In a statement released alongside the video, Aldean said the song represents an "unspoken rule" for those raised in small towns: "We all have each other's backs and we look out for each other."

"We take care of our own."

Yes. We. Do.

Small towns are all about having each other's back.


Grace and Peace and Love to you all -
