Sheryl Crow slams Jason Aldean’s ‘Try That in a Small Town’ for ‘promoting violence’

Sheryl Crow is speaking out against Jason Aldean’s controversial new single, “Try That in a Small Town.” In a post on Twitter, Crow wrote: “I’m from a small town. Even people in small towns are sick of violence. There’s nothing small-town or American about promoting violence. You should know that better than anyone having survived a mass shooting. This is not American or small town-like. It’s just lame.” Crow quoted a viral post from ‘Moms Demand Action’ founder Shannon Watts, which points out how ironic Aldean’s song is, since he was in a mass shooting.
