The 46-year-old country singer took the stage in Massachusetts on Saturday, July 29, as part of his Highway Desperado tour and thanked his devotees for standing by his side amid the public backlash. Before playing his controversial tune — which catapulted to the top of the charts despite widespread criticism — Aldean reflected on the strength of the Boston community. “I was lying in bed last night and thinking to myself, you guys would get this better than anybody, right?” he said in social media footage from the concert, claiming his song’s intended message has been “overshadowed by all the bulls–t.” Aldean paced across the stage as he continued: “I remember a time, I think it was April of 2013, when the Boston Marathon bombings happened.
