Beato! To be perfectly honest, I’d feared Pat might have hung up the pedalmobile, but here he comes again just in time with a worthy opponent… and, to be honest again, I’d almost forgotten the fuss about Jason Aldean from a few months ago, but that seems to be the way the world in general works these days, there’s always something new happening that makes us forget what happened not that long ago… I mean, remember the Titan sub? Good times…
Anyway, when Aldean was having his 15 minutes, I noticed the controversy surrounding him but somehow I managed to avoid actually hearing the song or seeing the video… and I now know that it’s pretty fucking awful, and Pat goes into quite some detail about how and why it is, trying to understand the possible reasons for its appeal and finding none. There’s an amazing bit of live footage where Aldean just cannot hit the note he’s supposed to, and I’ve never been very good at actually telling when something’s off-key… but in Aldean’s case even I couldn’t miss the fact that he was missing the mark. Yikes. So good to see this today in my YT subscriptions, it was just the sort of thing I was needing.
