Well I don't think he meant anything other than that he probably agrees with the lyrics. Four people wrote the song and he's not one of the songwriters. Also he's not from a small town.

Why the fuck would he knowingly sing something he would know would cost him his reputation?

Answer: he knows the song is racist and agrees with the message.

🤦 I keep forgetting no one cares anymore and the U.S. is split up into factions. All the more reason for the left to arm themselves, I guess.

This isn't really a new thing. Take the Dixie Chicks for example.

Not that I disagree with the second part, at all.
