Why is this shitty country song being targeted by the news? There are so many other country songs with lyrics like this, and there are plenty even more troubling. Sick of seeing this headline. We’re giving attention to something that doesn’t deserve it, and it sucks.
Because it's recent and CMT took action. Nothing new here.
I'm a liberal redneck, got a country list on Spotify.
"Country Boy Can Survive", strikes a chord with me, not hellishly racist. I get it.
I like "Song of the South", I feel much of it, but the name itself is a dog whistle. If you listen to the words, well, things got better with FDR? 🤷🏻♂️ Make of it what you will.
"Indian Outlaw" is catchy, zero hate, could even be called positive. (Not by me.) Seems damned offensive to a Native American. Done with that one.
"Try That in a Small Town" is kinda OK, on its own. I get the sentiment. We small town folks take care of ourselves. Because we have to. OTOH, the video and backdrop, Jesus Fucking Christ, he might as well have said kill invading n****rs.
Anyway, different songs from different times. Now is not the time to release shit like this and try to claim... Whatever the fuck he came out with. I'm exhausted.
EDIT: LOL my God. The song and video were worse than I remembered. Song isn't even catchy, even with the video off, it's just dreck. And change that from "kill invading n****rs" to "kill all libs/woke/whatever".
This country lib is armed, for whatever that's worth.
