Jason Aldean's Controversial Song Sparks Backlash and Defenses

Sheryl Crow criticizes country singer Jason Aldean for promoting violence in his song "Try That in a Small Town," stating that it is not representative of American or small-town values. Crow, who hails from a small town herself, highlights Aldean's personal experience surviving a mass shooting and calls the song "lame." Aldean's music video for the song has been removed from CMT programming due to backlash. Aldean denies that the song incites pro-lynching and explains that it reflects the sense of community he experienced growing up.
