Sheryl Crow joined the conversation about Jason Aldean’s controversial new song, “Try That in a Small Town,” saying he should know better.
Aldean, 46, has been accused of promoting violence with his latest song, which includes the inflammatory lyrics: “Got a gun that my granddad gave me / They say one day they’re gonna round up / Well, that s – – t might fly in the city, good luck / Try that in a small town.”
As a small-town girl herself, Missouri native Crow, 61, called out the country singer for putting out false impressions.
“@Jason_Aldean I’m from a small town. Even people in small towns are sick of violence. There’s nothing small-town or American about promoting violence. You should know that better than anyone having survived a mass shooting,” she tweeted.
“This is not American or small town-like. It’s just lame.”
The tweet the singer-songwriter quoted pointed out that Aldean witnessed a mass shooting himself, at a Las Vegas concert in 2017 during which 60 people were killed and over 400 injured.
