When a song pisses off Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin from The View, you know you’re on to something. When a song pisses off the entire left, it’s time for a cold one.
Well, Neil Thrasher, Kelley Lovelace, Tully Kennedy, and Kurt Allison, the writers of Jason Aldean’s #1 smash “Try that in a Small Town,” certainly deserve a cold one. Thrasher (featured in the above clip) explained during Breitbart/SiriusXM’s American Songwriter Special that it wasn’t until the video for “Try That in a Small Town” came out that he was inundated with the left’s predictable response calling him “a racist and a bigot and you name it.”
That’s when Thrasher’s phone started blowing up with concerned friends and colleagues asking him if he was okay from the barrage of national attention at the hands of the triggered left. Thrasher’s response reflected a different sentiment altogether: “What are you talking about?! This is fantastic!”
None of it phased him and as he told Breitbart News, “We wrote the truth and these days, the Left hates the truth.”
