For Jason Aldean, the only thing better than having CMT play his new music video is having the country-music cable network refuse to play it.
That's what happened this week when CMT said it had pulled the clip for "Try That in a Small Town," Aldean's latest single, in which the country star lays out a vision of urban chaos — an old lady getting carjacked, a holdup at a liquor store, a cop being spat on — before more or less threatening to kill anyone who might attempt to bring such behavior to a place "full of good old boys raised up right."
"Try that in a small town/ See how far you make it down the road," he sings over slashing guitars and booming drums, "Around here we take care of our own/ You cross that line, it won't take long for you to find out."
