Motor City Sonics Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I won't listen to the song because I ****ing hate current country music, but my guess is that Jason Aldean's song is basically about baiting someone to come near him so he can shoot them. Am I getting that right? Two points: #1 - This is the mentality that gets people to shoot at someone using their driveway to turn their car around (something we've all done). Everyone is a threat. Someone delivering groceries stops in front of your house because they could not see an address...........by all means....FIRE ! #2 - If you're so tough, Jason, why did you run off stage in Vegas when the shots started? I mean, if you want to stay true to the song (he didn't write), why didn't you pull out a weapon and fire back? Makes your tough guy talk seem a little silly. Just like your buddy Ted who crapped his pants intentionally to avoid getting drafted. You know, that patriotic tough guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to listen to Marty Robbins, Johnny Horton and Hank Williams on long drives because those songs are so damn catchy.

Motor City Sonics Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) Yes, it's so hard. It really sucks to be white. https://news.yahoo.com/poll-trump-voters-racism-white-americans-problem-black-reparations-politics-090038973.html?.tsrc=daily_mail&uh_test=0_00 Yes, Trump voters think racism against White people is a bigger problem than racism against Black people. Donnie can claim he is not a racist, but he's the guy the racists love. It's the American version of "The Troubles" Ben summed it up 23 years ago. The song is spot-on. Y'all don't know what it's like being male, middle class and white Edited July 21, 2023 by Motor City Sonics 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like your buddy Ted who crapped his pants intentionally to avoid getting drafted. You know, that patriotic tough guy. He's not from a "small town". He grew up shuttling between Macon, Ga and Homestead, FL, neither city meet what I consider "small town" criteria. He hasn't even written anything he sings that sells. How can you call yourself a country artist if you can't write a damn hit. I haven't listened either but I think I can assure you it ain't Okie From Muskogee...or even Harper Valley PTA which to me does signify small town attitudes and "charms" He's just another money grabbing grifter.

It's this current conveyer belt of crap now. all music genres suffer from it, but country is the worst. pretty terrible, but Western music has been on one long slow slide downhill since 1750. We had a nice temporary reprieve from the oveall descent for about 35 yrs following 1960, but we're back on the downward trend with added acceleration since. 😱 Edited July 21, 2023 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even some of the pop art rises. Was listening to some ridiculous glam metal power ballad at the store today and thought..."yeah, that's shi$ but the wonderful Operation Mindcrime exists within a few steps from that."

You posted that because of the song, not because anything happened. I know he was diagnosed with cancer recently, but the prognosis sounded pretty positive.

LaceyLou Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Who or what is Jason Aldean? Or maybe I don't want to know because I'm one of them city people? (actually I grew up in the country, in a town that was probably way smaller than wherever he's from, and that's how I know that people in small towns are neither better nor worse than anybody else).

Resist. I don't think his career is going to be boosted at all by mocking him in MotownForums. Who is that other guy, is that the guy that Greta knocked out? Think about the people who use Motownforums, are they going to have positive feelings about someone like that, be influenced by his point of view? It's important to make sure that everyone knows about these people, and does their best to humiliate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
