Indeed, the thrust of the singer’s messaging about the controversy is that he’s the victim of a hysterical woke-ocracy - a familiar notion amplified predictably Tuesday night by the Fox News host Jesse Watters, who said on his show that Aldean’s single “carries a simple message: Small-town America doesn’t put up with what they put up with in the city. In a tweet on Tuesday he denied that “Try That in a Small Town” had anything to do with lynching and that the song “refers to the feeling of a community that I had growing up, where we took care of our neighbors, regardless of differences of background or belief.” (In a statement, Shaun Silva’s production company, TackleBox Films, said the courthouse is a “popular filming location outside of Nashville” - it pointed out that parts of “Hannah Montana: The Movie” were shot there - and said Aldean didn’t choose the location.) To be clear, Aldean, who’s on the road this summer ahead of the release of his 11th studio album, doesn’t see himself as a villain.
