Exactly. The song glorifies extrajudicial violence in response to protected but unpopular behavior, but according to Aldean’s press statement, it’s not about lynching.
“No, your honor, I didn’t steal anything from John. All I did was take some of his stuff without him knowing.”
Did he write the song? I thought other people who actually lived in small towns wrote it. Aldean lived in Macon and Homestead and is a city boy.
And also doesn’t write his own songs
