Lee Greenwood is in good company and publicly defending Jason Aldean amid a firestorm of controversy over his “Try That in a Small Town” song and video.
In an interview on Jesse Watters Primetime, the “God Bless the USA” singer says Aldean has been unjustly accused of racism. “I am a Jason Aldean fan. He is the biggest patriot, like a lot of us,” Greenwood says. “It has nothing to do with racism. This is about people trying to take away the freedom of expression. It is a great song. I wish I had it.” Aldean has been under fire for the song, which relies on thoughts about small-town America for its lyrical theme.
Greenwood isn’t the only one. Blake Shelton backed out of a $30 MILLION project with CMT. And legendary Hank Williams Jr has resigned from the CMT Board of Directors.
