Trace Trashes Miss USA. Brad Weathers Storm.

Trace Adkins recently performed on the Miss USA pageant. His comment about Miss Michigan, Rima Fakih, being crowned the winner was, “I wasn’t impressed.”

Hmmm. Wonder what she thinks about his singing?

 

Dierks Bentley told fans at his recent Washington, D.C. concert that he had met with President Obama that day in the White House. He said he dropped off his new CD Up On The Ridge. President Obama has been know to refer to a Dierks’ quote in the past. Bentley told that quote to the crowd again.   “I said Country Music was the best shrink $15 can buy.” 

 

Brad Paisley played a sold out crowd in Washington D.C this past weekend himself, but opened the tour in Virginia Beach. Paisley told the crowd they had no idea what it took to get there, referring to overcoming equipment lost in recent Nashville floods. Brad said, “It was emotional, it was heartache, and it took perseverance to get here tonight.  Every member of my team made this a reality and I am so proud of them.  Thanks to you guys for making this difficult time that much more rewarding for all of us out here on the road.” Okay, so let’s see how many puns we can come up about the Nashville floods and Brad’s H2O tour:

 

Over the weekend, country music superstar Alan Jackson honored the fallen miners and rescue workers from April’s Upper Big Branch mining disaster with a benefit concert performance at the Charleston WV Civic Center.   The 31 families affected and 230 rescue workers who were on site at the nation’s biggest mining disaster in four decades were offered free tickets to the show.  27 families who lost loved ones and the two whose family members survived met with Jackson before the show, including the family of Cory Davis who would have been 21 on Saturday.  His family presented Jackson with a bracelet with David’s birthday on it, and Jackson wore it throughout the show.   God love ya Alan!
