Country music artist Jason Aldean’s new video “Try That in a Small Town” was yanked by Country Music Television because of the association between the lyrics and the history of the courthouse in the video — the site of a lynching nearly 100 years ago. Aldean’s song makes no mention of race and Aldean did not choose the location, according to his production company. Critics say he should have known and the correlation is there even without explicit lyrics. Do you agree with CMT’s decision?
