These references \u2062are not only \u200cmeritless, but dangerous. There is\u200c not a \u2064single lyric in the song that\u2062 references race\u200c or points to it\u2014and there isn&#8217;t a\u2064 single video\u2063 clip that isn&#8217;t\u2064 real news \u200dfootage\u2014and while I can try and respect\u200b others to have their own interpretation of a song with music\u2014this one goes too far.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>During the Route\u200d 91 Festival in Las Vegas in 2017, where a\u2062 man opened \u2063fire on crowds, firing more than \u200c1,000 bullets, killing 60 people and injuring over 400, Mr. Aldean was on stage.

Because they\u200b were our neighbors, and that was above any differences.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My \u2063political views have never been something I&#8217;ve hidden, and I know that a lot of us in this\u200b Country\u2063 don&#8217;t agree \u200don\u2064 how we get back to\u200b a\u200d sense of normalcy\u2064 where we go \u200bat least a day\u200c without a headline that \u200dkeeps us up at night.
