The former Country Music Television, which still plays videos in the overnight hours amongst a schedule of mostly sitcom reruns (and has the 24/7 vidclip channel CMT Music), will not play the new music video for bro country stalwart Jason Aldean's three-month-old single "Try That in a Small Town" (single has already peaked at 35 on Billboard's country chart and is nowhere on the Billboard Hot 100), which presents news clips and security camera footage of thefts and riots in the big cities with the song lyrics that they won't put up with that in real Small Town AMURRICA--Aldean (born in Macon, Ga., population 157,346--SAAAA-LOOT!) denied on Twitter that it was an attack on Black Lives Matter and said that he is only pointing out some truths:
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/music-news/jason-aldean-music-video-pulled-cmt-1235539052/ My view: Aldean, whose winning streak of country number ones seems to have dropped off lately, is trying a last ditch effort to turn his stiff (not written by him, but by four of the usual Nashville hacks) into a hit by betting on the volatility of streaming and TikTok and any publicity he can get off the video to get noticed and maybe get crossover airplay (like fellow bro Luke Combs currently is with his remake of Black lesbian Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car"). MAGATs don't listen to Top 40 radio, Jason--ain't gonna work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
