- Gee, I've gotta get out more. Somehow I've never seen Rascal Flatts playing down on Lower Broad, much less any of those legends they listed. Weird.
- No fair showing us your nice abs now, Big Kenny. You're off the market. Take the guitar and let John Rich show off his stuff (yes, I have a thing for those guys. No one understands it at the station. I don't understand it.)
- It's rare when there's a song you absolutely hate, but another singer sells it to you. Wynonna did that with that "I Could Only Imagine", which was formerly on my list of must-switch-stations songs. But she did it quite nicely. However, I switched over to Rock Star: INXS a short time later and discovered that the same approach doesn't work for Creed songs, which I will always hate, no matter if their lead singer is no longer over-emoting it.
- The whole segment with Alan Jackson and the NYPD firemen was one of the nicest things of the whole night. I've always liked Alan because he's "just folks" and doesn't pretend otherwise, and him meeting the firefighters was just real.
-Who was that blonde chick on after Dierks Bentley? Never seen her and probably never will again.
- Dierks has one of those faces that looks like a dozen guys from your hometown, paired with the curls of a angelic blonde toddler. He's also kinda my neighbor, since he apparently lives on a boat on Percy Priest. Dierks, if you ever run outta sugar or flour and need to borrow some from a neighbor, lemme know...
- The girl who would choose Rodney Carrington over Kenny Chesney needs some new glasses. I didn't even remember who he was till he reminded us he has a show on the network...
- Not sure what I think about Gretchen Wilson's new single yet. But I have that reaction to her in general. She grows on me slowly, like kudzu.
- It's very strange to be watching this show at the same time as "Rock Star: INXS". Kinda like walking from a honky-tonk to a goth club.

Is it just me or does there seem to be a lot of disposable country singers these days? As in a singer who will come on the scene, have a song or two, appear in FHM or Maxim and then be gone in two or three years....
Yeah, country is becoming a more like pop music as far as the shelf life of entertainers. I think a lot of that probably comes from the conglomeration of labels and how small they keep their rosters these days - if you have a weak second album now, you're gone. In the past, the labels focused more on building a performer's longterm viability than on producing one hit album. Not to mention that performers are largely left to do their own marketing, to sometimes disasterous results. I think that's a reason that the two main MuzikMafia acts have been so successful - they market the hell outta themselves as a musical change for the genre, not on how good they look.
