The screen was filled with headlines taking the singer to task as “America’s Problem,” “the elephant in the room" and more as Morgan Wallen brought his set to an incendiary close with “I’m the Problem." My review from @StateFarmStdm at @azcentral azcentral.com/story/entertai…

EdMasley's tweet card. Morgan Wallen's State Farm Stadium show offset earnest songs with an incendiary "I'm the Problem." And yes, that was Diamondbacks star Randy Johnson.
