Lewis is my 2nd favorite artist next to Stapleton. He puts on a hell of a show (when the crowd doesn't interrupt him) for those that haven't seen him live.
He used to be the front man for Staind and has also done some vocals for Linkin Park. The range of his voice is insane.
Dude is as woke and "American" as they come.
Everyone I know who's ever done sound at one of his concerts says he's one of the biggest douchebags on the planet, so it makes sense that you would think he's woke and that you love him so much.

But even to take it down your path - it does not even come near to necessarily following that since he is American, he doesn't speak Spanish.
Because 90% dont speak spanish?

And tens of millions more (if not hundreds of millions) have had more than just passing exposure to Spanish via school and other media. I would guess that being American actually correlates positively and highly with having some familiarity with Spanish. It might have been more accurate if he had said "I'm an outlier, in that I'm American, but still don't speak any Spanish."
No. 41 million people aged 5 or older speak Spanish at home. It is by far the second most spoken language. Still a pretty decent minority who can speak Spanish fluently. And I'm guessing the majority of these people are actually Hispanic or Hispanic decent.
I'm guessing the % of Anglo-Americans that speak Spanish is quite a bit lower.

BamaRep gonna BamaRep. Typical disingenuous thread title.
"Singer Aaron Lewis walks off stage because crowd will not shut up." Good for Lewis.
The whole Spanish language reference is utterly irrelevant to his decision to end the concert.

Noone knows the words (to La Bamba) unless they speak Spanish. I'm American so I don't know the words.
They just make no sense.
"I ain't a sailor, I'm the Captain." WTF?

So imagining a dude boning a pig is fun to you?
I for one, cannot imagine the type of people you would know.

Prog and projection start with the same three letters. Coincidence?
You have a weird fetish but you do you or you do pig or pig do you.
