Jason Aldean's Controversial Song Sparks Backlash and Defenses

Sheryl Crow criticizes Jason Aldean's new single and music video, "Try That in a Small Town," for promoting violence and being out of touch with the public mood. Crow highlights the irony that Aldean himself survived a mass shooting. The backlash against the song and video has been swift, with CMT pulling the video from rotation. Aldean defends the song, stating that it is about community and the desire for a sense of normalcy. Other prominent figures, including Tennessee lawmaker Rep. Justin Jones, also condemn the song for promoting racist violence.
