Country singer Jason Aldean barely concealed his bigotry with the “Try That In A Small Town” single. It’s reassuring to know that these violently evil views are not the norm. Not in music, not in country music, not anywhere.
Jazmin Bean has shared a beautiful new song, all about how young women are conditioned to not understand what love is.
