Basically songs are written by A.I. - religion, dirt roads, swimming holes, guns, having enough to get by, momma, etc. Put a cowboy hat or a tattered ball cap on some Nashville faggot and print money.
Even better if you give them an anthem to rally around, evidenced by this thread.

I was living in Oklahoma City at the time of Federal Building bombing(1995). I wasn't in the downtown area. There were a lot of interesting stories going around.
A network news team was filming there. They had a cop escorting them around the area. The news guy said we have enough footage of the building.
We would like some shots of where the looting happened.
The cop said "Uh, we don't do that sort of thing around here".
It was an overreaction, but it was Maines' fault for not knowing their audience.Small town bumpkin police are inordinately more retarded and likely to fuck up.
I don't think your country chubby earring faggot should be cancelled but marrone what an awful song.
Never has the country been more embarrassing than when triggered right wing babies lost their shit over the Dixie Chicks trashing W and the Iraq war (These same babies are now MAGAtards who agree with that sentiment btw). I remember a radio station making a huge stink over it and playing the Fleetwood Mac version of 'Landslide' on repeat for 12 hours in protest.
Anyone that gets outraged and cries over opinions expressed by entertainers should noose immediately.
Picture a successful rapper bashing BLM in 2020. It was that level of cluelessness.
Not the same as cancellation. It was a matter of expressing a controversial opinion which was bound to be unpopular with your fans, and shooting your popularity in the foot.
At the time, I did not feel sorry for Maines or the Dixie Chicks, nor did I feel outraged or that they needed to be boycotted. Had they kept on playing Dixie Chicks music on country radio, I'd have been 100% fine with it. Was never a big fan of theirs anyway.
The fight she picked with Toby Keith that same year was just as idiotic, but in a different way. She completely misunderstood the song, which is pretty amazing given that the song was very straightforward and unsophisticated. She just wanted to do an early 2000s version of virtue signaling.
Regarding "country bumpkin police", I agree they're more likely to fuck up, but Aldean is correct that towns like that are far less likely to put up with bullshit. If you tried to riot, burn buildings/cars, block roads, or commit smash-and-grab robberies in a small red town, it would likely end badly for you. The whole idiotic woke concept of "give these people space and let them get their rage out" doesn't exist in places like that. They just take care of the problem, with whatever force necessary. That's actually the correct approach. There is zero precedent in modern US society where permissiveness about crime and rioting leads to safer streets. These type of people only respond to force and consequence. It's a longtime liberal fantasy that the criminals will respect you if you respect them.
That's what Aldean was trying to say in the song. While society has changed in a lot of the US over the past 10 years -- most of it for the worse -- small town America is still the same, and won't put up with criminal bullshit.
That's actually a good message. The song itself, from a musical standpoint, isn't particularly good though.
Growing up in NJ Country Music isn't what people listen too in that Tri-State area Metropolitan NYC Market. Lived in Florida now 13+ years and have grown to really enjoy Country music, new to me
this is another fantastic Country song Luke Combs doing Tracy Chapmans 'Fast Car'
I'm pretty sure there was a coverup with that particular incident.
Tim McVeigh was indeed guilty, and the ringleader of the scheme.
However, there was clearly a second guy with him who was never found. They even released sketches of him. All of a sudden, he was erased from the story, and the FBI claimed it was just a "mistake", despite many very specific stories of him being seen with McVeigh.
They weakly tried to push that it was actually Terry Nichols, but that's bullshit. Nichols wasn't there, and he also looked NOTHING like the guy in the sketches.
I was never clear on why they would have covered up the second guy. Maybe he gave them info in exchange for forgetting he existed. Maybe they just couldn't figure out who he was, and they decided to pretend there was no second guy. Very weird. But there definitely was a second guy.
The candy asses in big cities like Pittsburgh let antifa and BLM run all over their asses. But don't try that shit in a small town. Small town citizens fall out heavily armed wearing bullet proof vests in anticipation of any antifa punks showing up.
A rumor that antifa was going to show up in Klamath Falls, Oregon brought 200 citizens to the downtown area armed to the teeth wearing bullet proof vests. Don't fuck around in a small town antifa. It's happened in a lot of other small towns too. It's probably how whoever wrote the Jason Aldean song got the idea.
But what is monumentally, stupid, cucked, moronic, embicilic, idiotic is this attack on Aldean for mildly violent lyrics.
If you want to hear really graphically violent lyrics you have to listen to rap. Rap lyrics are by far the most violent of any genre. It's not even close. Funny how the SJW's had all these years to condemn rap lyrics but haven't said a word. Instead they go after a candy ass song by Aldean.
Rappers consider country artists to be candy asses that sing candy ass lyrics. But they applauded Johnny Cash because he wasn't afraid to sing violent lyrics. They praised him for it.
If you like violent lyrics then listen to this rap song:

Anyone who's ever been in a room with off duty cops while COPS aired knows that the only thing bumpkin cops do is fuck up. Procedure, their own safety protocols, when to draw weapons, etc.
I’ve seen JA in concert a couple times, dude is top top. But that song is terrible, not even talking about the lyrics. Has to be one of his worst songs.
I don’t personally know any yokels who like country music.
Why do sporting events play John Denver’s “ Take Me Home, Country Roads”? It’s a song about West Virginia.
I first noticed it during St Louis Blues hockey games last season. I’m hearing it nightly during this Seattle Mariners series. I’ve heard it in all sorts of random places.
WTF & TIA

I'm one of those yokels. I picked it up when living in Riverside, CA during the early-mid '90s. Country was very popular in the US during those years, due to the popular rise of line dancing (lol). I was never into line dancing, but with 5 country music stations in the Riverside area (!!), it was everywhere, and I picked up and appreciation for it. It was then when I also discovered a lot of '80s country songs (which weren't that old yet), of which I had previously been unaware because I only listened to pop music and rock in the '80s.
You would not expect a college educated Jew from LA to become a fan of country music, but that's what happened. I continued to like new country music up through the early 2000s, but then it started to change into the bro-country type you hear today. I didn't really care for that form of country, and honestly stopped following the industry, whereas in the '90s and early '00s, I could tell you everything about the country music world. Occasionally I will hear a country music song today which is a throwback to the style of the '80s and '90s, but it's not very often.
Damn, I forgot about line dancing. It was indeed a thing. I remember going to country themed weddings. Many times there would be a DJ teaching line dancing. There was no possible way to avoid being on the dance floor. Women loved it.I'm one of those yokels. I picked it up when living in Riverside, CA during the early-mid '90s.

I remember the struggle to figure out what to wear while maintaining some sense of personal dignity.
My wife still mentions these soirées decades later.
Even in the northeast line dancing was in the clubs.
Wounds that don’t heal.
Do you own a cowboy hat?
I had one from 1988 when we went to a guest ranch. I forgot why, but I tried it on again sometime in my 20s, and was saddened to see that my head had grown and it no longer fit. Like it wasn't even close. Didn't think my head got a lot bigger from age 16 to adulthood, but apparently it had.Damn, I forgot about line dancing. It was indeed a thing.

country music is gay
Movie Urban Cowboy was to line dancing like Rounders was to poker boom

In the small town I grew up in the cops knew everyone and their parents. Yes, there were a few Roscoe P Coltrains over time but none of the cops ever shot anyone who didn't have it coming and nobody in our small town ever had reason to protest the police or want to defund them. Later on the police in that town were all kids I grew up with and were good police. If I ever had issues with our country bumpkin po po's it never lead to anything life changing. They knew how to "handle" the town.Anyone who's ever been in a room with off duty cops while COPS aired knows that the only thing bumpkin cops do is fuck up.
