Conan O'Brien Takes Taylor Swift to Task About the Reality of Being 22

Jon Prell — Fri, 24 May 2013 04:50:48 +0000

Taylor Swift has made a very nice career singing about the different stages of her life so far and her new song '22' is another great example of that. Swift is growing up through her music right before our very eyes and as fun as she makes being 22 sound in the song and in the video, the reality of being 22 is really very different as Conan O'Brien so eloquently points out.

'Sixty for Sixty' Campaign for George Strait Falls Short

Leslie Morgan — Sat, 18 May 2013 09:00:13 +0000

George Strait turns 61 years old TODAY! The "Sixty for Sixty" campaign to get George his 60th #1 single while he was still 60 years old didn't quite make it, "Give It All We Got Tonight" has only made it to #10. But, that's OK, there is no one like George Strait and there quite possibly never will be. Several, I mean tons, of artists made videos to try and urge fans to buy the single. It is very touching. Watch them give love and admiration to the king of country music.

You may have heard the debut single from new artist Charlie Worsham, called 'Could It Be.' From that one single, you would never know the amount of talent that lies inside one guy.

Kasey Musgraves Serves Up More Small Town Angst in 'Blowin' Smoke' Video

Leslie Morgan — Tue, 14 May 2013 12:30:37 +0000

Nobody can put words to the music of small town life quite like Kasey Musgraves. Coming from a small town myself, I can relate to her lyrics like no other. To me, she is like the Mark Twain of small town female blues. LOVE her!

In her latest video, 'Blowin' Smoke', she doesn't let us down. As a cigarette smoking, greasy spoon waitress, she is more real and poetic than ever.

Spring Break! Oh, remember those days. I went with my friends to Daytona Beach, Florida. NO parents, NO rules, NO boundaries - just FUN! It was the first time that I ventured THAT far on my own. And I'm going to be honest, I'm surprised we didn't get arrested. It was THAT fun!!!

Justin Moore Shows His Bad Boy Side in 'Point at You' Video

Leslie Morgan — Sat, 11 May 2013 09:00:24 +0000

Ever since I saw Justin Moore perform at Woody's, years ago, I have been a huge fan. Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to see not only watch him perform but meet him. His personality, to me, seems to be a mix between, good ol boy...shy, sweet cowboy and refined redneck bad boy. And it looks like I'm right! ;-)
