It’s the advice I give every up and coming Country Music Superstar, ‘don’t listen to your parents.’
Seriously, if you want to make it big some day, you have to prepare for folks who DON’T like you, or your music.
When your child comes to you with a picture that doesn’t resemble anything, you praise their artistic talents and stick it on the fridge. I give you the same drawing, you think I’m a moron. It’s the same with music.
After watching American Idol last night and realizing that some of these people ACTUALLY BELIEVED they could sing, I had to blame the people who praised them.
Somebody looked them in the eye and said something along the lines of, ‘Wow, you’re good. Better than anything out there right now!’
Look where that advice got them, 10 feet from Simon Crowell and raked over the coals on national TV.
How can this show possibly survive without Simon?
Oh, and on a side note, somebody give Posh Spice a sandwich…PLEASE!

Did you hear what happened this past Saturday night at the Brad Paisley show in Wichita, Kans. Paisley’s dad Doug saw a man on the floor in an arena hallway in some kind of distress (which turned out to be a heart attack), and he got down to business right away and started performing CPR along with another man. The man having the heart attack turned out to be an venue employee. And Doug Paisley, a volunteer firefighter and EMT, knew just what to do until the paramedics arrived. He was even getting the venue’s automated external defibrillator ready. But then he said, “I kind of backed off and let (the paramedics) use theirs.”
Here’s the hero pictured between his boy and Kenny Chesney.
Come on people, who doesn’t know how to do CPR? Learn it, because you never know when you’ll need to use it.

Raccoons are NOT the cute cuddly things you see on TV, they are NASTY!
