Fans of Aldean's 'Try That in a Small Town' defend it as an endorsement of 'law and order.' But aren't there constitutional protections afforded to symbolic speech? JasonAldean FreeSpeech FirstAmendment LawandOrder
Country singer Jason Aldean claimed during a performance that people who don't like his song"Try That in a Small Town" are trying to ruin his life.Texas v. Johnson
Dallas police arrested Johnson, but the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed his conviction for flag desecration, holding that one cannot equate mere offensiveness with an"incitement to breach the peace." The Supreme Court agreed. Earlier this year, Aldean released a canned soft-rock tune titled"Try That in a Small Town" to little fanfare. That is until a controversial music video for the song dropped last month and CMT yanked it from rotation after just three days. Critics accused Aldean of displaying racial tone-deafness — or perhaps we should we say, colorblindness — for filming in front of the site of a 1927 lynching.
Note the double-standard, though: lawlessness in defense of supposed small town values is legitimate while lawlessness in protest of a cop committing murder is criminal.
