Aaron Lewis' liberal-bashing track defended by Big Machine Label founder who refuses to 'cancel' him

Big Machine Label Group founder Scott Borchetta responded to a scathing review of Aaron Lewis’ liberal-bashing country song “Am I the Only One” in order

Borchetta opened by noting that, in addition to Lewis’ right-leaning song, Big Machine has played home to artists like Sheryl Crow, who wrote the politically driven song "Woman In The White House"  "Aaron Lewis and I have political disagreements. But there are also things we agree on. I think that’s the foundation for the idea of our country," Borchetta wrote. "It doesn’t work if we’re so divided that we can’t reach across the aisle, have a conversation or an argument, and ultimately, shake hands. If we can’t do that, and this moment is so divisive, we may never get our country back." Despite the numbers trending upwards for Lewis’ song, music industry blogger Bob Lefsetz issued a harsh critique in which he not only derided the song for courting a conservative-leaning message, he called out Borchetta for promoting the "heinous" song as a shameless money grab.
