    Jason’s also from Macon, GA. Population 150,000. Small town country boy my arse. To quote Shooter Jennings:

    I get home from a long day, put on the radio Lookin’ for some country soul, but I don’t find it, no It’s a dirt road free for all, some old boys sayin’ they’re outlaws, They dress the part and they talk the talk You know they’ve been taught to walk the walk These boys think they’re tough like they been robbin’ banks Cause they name drop Johnny Cash and they name drop poor old Hank

      And Jason Aldean was onstage during a shooting at one of his concerts, and do you know what Mr. “Try That In a Small Town” Big Britches did? Ran offstage and hid. Which like, I don’t blame the guy, but don’t release a song cosplaying as some big tough guy that will stand up to bad gunmen when there is literally evidence that you won’t.

      These are the kinds of guys who like their jeans like they like their women: bought distressed.

      lol, I’m from a town of 9000 people, and in my state that still wasn’t a “small town”. We had a pizza joint! People drove to our town because we had a pizza joint. Douche has no idea what it’s like being in a small town.

          You had a walmart? Damn look at you and your fancy high falootin’ society over here.

          And no, no one ever got in fights in my town, there was a lot of tough toxic masculinity brovado, but everyone was too afraid to get in fights. No the real thing is what I alluded to, small towns like to say they’re nice but really everyone is gossiping behind everyone’s back because there’s nothing else to talk about.

          Did you hear so and so’s husband was at the store alone the other day? They’re going to be divorced in a week, guar-an-tee.

      I’m a half hour South of Macon and while it isn’t tiny, it isn’t big either. My home town population was only a few thousand (an hour South of Macon) and had a lot of farms / livestock. Granted, it seems most “country” people round here are only aesthetically country
