Anywhere between mainstream country and Aretha Franklin-style soul, that’s where you’ll find Bill Gentry’s music. Not only is Bill a preacher’s son, but a former politician and a club owner. That’s some kind of resume for this guy, who word has it, performs with the intensity close to Mark Miller of Sawyer Brown. His debut single is called “That Kind Of Life.”
Challenger – Hank Williams Jr. “That Ain’t Good’

What can you say about Hank Williams Jr. that hasn’t already been said. A lot of the stuff that’s already been said, I can’t say on the radio. One thing that Hank’s never been scared to do is speak his mind when something “Ain’t Good.” I’m sure that’s why he had no problem writing and performing this song. In classic Bocephus style, it’s “That Ain’t Good.”

Female Arm Wrestler Has a Scream That Will Scare the Pants Off of You
May 19, 2013 10:00 AM I am NOT athletic at all. So, my tactic to win or at least appear like some sort of competition to my opponent is to look the part or sound the part. This female arm wrestler must have taken a play right out of the Leslie Morgan play book. Rule number 1....make your bark SO big, they won't notice you have no bite!! ;-)
Her scream would scare even the biggest, toughest male arm wrestler!

‘Sad Cat Diary’ Offers Hilarious Insight Into the Mind of a Cat
May 19, 2013 4:00 AM As, you know, Jon refers to me as 'The Cat Lady' on the air. Just because I adopted my first cat a year ago and have since acquired 7 more, doesn't make me a cat lady. Or does it??? ;-) Ok, I know it would appear that I, if I'm not the cat lady NOW, I am well on my way. In the past year, I have become very in tune with cats and all of their personalities. Maybe that's why I love them so much and they, in turn, are drawn to me. lol
I found a video that gives a little insight to the mind of the sad cat (which is only ONE of their many personalities) Watch, learn and laugh!! It's seriously, hilarious!

Remember When George Strait Went to Prison?
It was the wildest show behind bars, and George Strait was in the thick of it for one year in the early '80s. He wasn't the only one. Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Tom T. Hall … they all did time behind the walls of the Huntsville Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
