La estrella de la música country Zach Bryan está respondiendo a las reacciones contra la letra de una canción inédita, que parece criticar al ICE. La semana pasada, Bryan publicó un fragmento de la canción "Bad News", que había adelantado en julio. Meg Oliver, de CBS News, tiene más información.

Country music singer Zach Bryan has responded to public backlash over lyrics in his upcoming song 'Bad News,' which some listeners interpreted as critical of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. The release of a snippet of the song led to criticism from government officials, including the Department of Homeland Security and Secretary Kristi Noem, who called the lyrics disrespectful to law enforcement and the country. 

Bryan, a U.S. Navy veteran, clarified on social media that he wrote the song months ago and does not align with either extreme of the political debate. The incident has sparked discussion within the country music community, with experts noting that artists have historically addressed sociopolitical issues in their music.

Zach Bryan responde a la polémica sobre la letra de una canción

Mis amigos son todos unos degenerados, pero todos son buena gente. El cantante de música country Zach Byron es respondiendo a la reacción contra la letra de esta canción, que parecen criticar las operaciones de inmigración en curso del ICE. Y el ICE va a derribar tu puerta, a intentar construir una casa. Ya nadie construye, pero tengo un teléfono. Los niños están asustados y solos. El viernes pasado, Bryan lanzó un fragmento de una próxima canción llamada Bad News, que había previamente en julio. Mi dedo corazón está subiendo, y no dejaré de mostrarlo Tengo malas noticias, el desvanecimiento de un rojo, blanco y azul. Provocando una airada respuesta de la derecha y de Trump Trump. El martes, el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional, que supervisa el ICE, publicó un video en las redes sociales mostrando al personal de las fuerzas federales de seguridad enfrentándose a manifestantes y arrestando a gente, con otra de las canciones de Bryan. Salva mi supervivencia. Más tarde, la secretaria del DHS, Kristi Noem, criticó directamente a Bad News. Espero que entienda lo completamente irrespetuoso que es esa canción, no sólo para las fuerzas del orden, sino para este país, para cada individuo que ha luchado por nuestras libertades. Bryan, un veterano de la Marina de los EE.UU., subió a Instagram el mismo día, diciendo que escribió "Malas noticias" hace meses, y cualquiera que lo use como arma sólo está demostrando lo devastadoramente divididos que estamos todos son, añadiendo, para ser claros, estoy en ninguno de estos lados radicales. Hay literalmente una letanía de artistas que han expresado opiniones sobre lo que Zach Bryan está haciendo, tanto en la izquierda como en la derecha. El periodista de música country Marcus K. Dowling dice que lo que Bryan está haciendo no es nada que no hayamos visto antes en la música country. Hay un largo linaje de esto. Obviamente, Toby Keith, o fue Alan Jackson. Creo que entiendes cuando tomas el manto de ser una estrella en el espacio que tienes que tener una opinión sobre algo que directamente trata de la condición sociopolítica ampliamente de todos los americanos.
