According to multiple social media videos from fans who attended Jason Aldean's show, the country music singer compared the support he has received for “Try That in a Small Town” to Americans coming together after the Boston Marathon bombing.
“It’s been really wild, man,” he told the crowd during his set, seeming to reference recent headlines about the polarizing track. “Something that we cut that we thought was a really cool song, the message that we’ve wanted to get out there, has completely gotten overshadowed by all the bulls---.”
Aldean recalled the entire country joining Bostonians in their efforts to track down brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who planted the bombs that killed three people and left 260 injured. He then connected the tragedy to his defense of “Try That in a Small Town” and said, “And I’ve been trying to say, this is not about race, it’s about people getting their s--- together and acting right, acting like you’ve got some common sense.”He said its message is about parents sending their children to school or the movie theater “and not to worry about if they come home or not.”
