Find me a "political" line in the song.

Just because someone thinks the video has political leanings (which I also disagree with) has no bearing on if the song is played on country radio.

No one saw the video anyway, unless you intentionally searched for it.

I've already explained it above...

Again, these aren't my words. Jon said in an interview that Country Radio won't play it. It's about the Corona virus which is a very political topic.

Country music is fun escape for all the BS in the world. That's their platform. They are not going to risk Jon's Topical (back door Politic) song into that platform. And I say good for them.

I think he was laughing because I said "Winged" instead of "Wing"

At this point, RD has got to be a troll. Even the most American of Americans can't possibly this dense when it comes to politics. Although, come to think of it, of course they can be. Either way, Jon would barely be a centrist over here. The whole discussion is silly, and exactly one person disagrees.

It is utterly depressing this ass clownery still gets a regular showing on here. It's not like this BS has driven enough regulars away who actually contributed wortwhile posts instead of self righteous bravado, eh?

That's fine. I won't post here anymore then.

Vid: "Or the opposite, there was part of that audience that didn't want to know nothing about a song, about coming together over what was this COVID crisis.
That marketplace there were definitely a political divide, and the song was not political.
And I'm being bluntly honest, but I walked into a brick wall with folks that said: I don't want a song on my radio station that talks about that. So you know so again I wrote a topical record, not a political record."
1. Jon said that before: “I say it’s topical instead of political... that I don’t take sides”
2. About Do What You Can he mentioned something about the mask in the past: "Well, I turned the record in and then Covid happened and shut the world down. So I knew that if I was gonna have a topical record in 2020, I better write a Covid song. That’s ‘Do What you Can.’
I was inspired by the health care workers, the students who sacrificed, the grocery store clerk who became an essential worker, the caregiver, the unsung heroes who stepped up to help their neighbors and those who simply wore a mask, not because it was a political tool but because it was a sign of respect for their fellow man.
Then of course the George Floyd incident hit, BLM, so then I sat down to write ‘American Reckoning’ and, finally, at that time I said Amen, the album is now complete. I took the two, let’s call them love songs, off the record and put on ‘Do What You Can’ and ‘American Reckoning’ and I said now there is my 2020.")

The Corona Virus became a very political topic and if you watch the video to Do What You Can, that's basically what the song is in reference to.

Jon is also known to be a super left winged Democrat which doesnt sit well with a lot of people from the South.
Then you gotta feel sorry for those people living in the South, as they're coming across like complete idiots...

No. I was literally laughing at the silliness of your comment.

Cool!

Does anyone here knows how to erase Jon's voice from the video and raise the sound of the track? It's cleaner than the background sound from ceek video, but still hard to understand the verses.
