CRS 39 - Country goodness

I went the Country Radio Seminar in Nashville with my wife, and country music programming legend Brooke Addams (http://www.ksam1017.com/), who was ready to smash me with a beer bottle by day two.
Let's see... what happened at CRS?
  • Garth Brooks laughed when I made silly gestures to him after an appearance.
  • I saved everyone's life at an awards ceremony when an amplifier caught on fire. Standard fee for saving Charlie Daniels' life: $0.
  • Brad Paisley talked to me after I flashed him my badge at the end of his song Mr. Policeman. He gave me a pick. BTW, Mr. Paisley, I can write you a speeding ticket.
  • I met Celebrity Apprentice stars Trace Adkins, Nellie Galan, Tiffany Fallon, Merilu Henner, and Omarosa. Omarosa made me "pinkie swear" not to tell anyone that she's really a nice person. No kidding. She's cool. Her fashion tips made me a lot less dorky at CRS.
  • Stephen Cochran has got to be one of the coolest country stars. He's the real deal too. Check out his site and his music. (http://stephencochran.musiccitynetworks.com/)
  • My apologies to Bucky Covington (http://buckycovington.musiccitynetworks.com/) for making shadow puppets on his shirt while he was singing on stage. I only did it to make this guy laugh. (http://www.k99country.com/pages/bigfrank.html)
We had a great time and met some fantastic people. Special thanks to Joe Jarvis (http://www.kickscountry.com) for laughing at my dumbness.
