There are many country stars who are true to the red white and blue and\u00a0now that one of their\u00a0own is under fire they are firing back. One of them is Cody Johnson. He is being vocal about how he feels in regards to Jason Aldean getting so much backlash over his hit song \u201cTry That In A Small Town\u201d and its video. Keep reading to find out what Cody had to say about Jason and everything that has been happening over the past week.<\/p>\n
Whiskey Riff\u00a0<\/em>shared what Cody Johnson\u00a0had to say\u00a0in regard to the Jason Aldean controversy. The song in question was not even written by Aldean although he delivers it well. However, what has opposition going is the video and where it was filmed. The song does stand strong on a few issues including being against gun control and against rioting as well as looting.<\/p>\n The video shows scenes from the news from all over of violence on law enforcement, rioting and looting among other things. Plus, the video was partially filmed at the Maury County courthouse which was the site of a lynching in 1927. Therefore now some have automatically said the song is pro-lynching.<\/p>\n CMT removed the video from its lineup after the fallout and now\u00a0many are taking\u00a0a stand in support of Aldean.<\/p>\n As for Cody, he spoke out at a recent concert and said, \u201cI remember a time when Merle Haggard said \u2018you running down my country, son, you\u2019re walking on the fighting side of me.\u2019 Yet, we live in a time where everyone gets pissed at Jason Aldean for putting out a song. If you\u2019re videoing this, and Jason Aldean, if you\u2019re watching this, you keep it up, brother. You do you. If being patriotic makes you an outlaw, then by God, I\u2019ll be an outlaw.\u201d
