Going to a concert can either make you more of a fan…or hate the band you paid to see even more.

Roxanne, who goes by @rpeterson83 on TikTok, posted a video of the Eli Young Band in middle of them performing “Got A Little Drunk Last Night” in Manhattan, KS. And she wasn’t impressed. At all.

She said the “Eli Young Band is better left on the radio.” And she went on to say, “Got A Little Drunk Last Night”…and suddenly we all wish we had, too. Instead we left early and went home disappointed.”

In case you’re unaware, Ella Langley abruptly canceled her show at the BOK Center in Tulsa on Friday, October 9, 2026. And it was all due to “a serious security threat”.

But…according to local Tulsa news outlet KOTV, there was a “false bomb threat call”, which was information provided by Tulsa police, and officers told the outlet they “conducted a preliminary sweep with K-9 officers and found no indication of a threat.”

They also said,“did not advise the BOK Center or the artist’s team to cancel the concert”, though clearly the venue, or Ella, felt it was still necessary to unfortunately cancel the show.

Ella addressed the audience at her show in Lubbock, TX the following night on Saturday October 10th about making the decision to cancel the show in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

She said, “I was put in charge of a…of a decision for fifteen thousand people…and I decided to make a decision that I could live with for the rest of my life.

So, that’s what I did. That’s what did…because when it comes to keeping you safe and making sure that this show is a safe place for us to come and enjoy our music it will happen. But the second it feels like it’s not, I’m not doing it.”

He stopped by the “The Zach Sang Show” to talk about music and how he runs his own Instagram.

It might surprise you that some celebrities still run their own Instagram account. One of those people, for example, is Riley Green. He said he tries to be as hands-on as he can.

I feel he’s full of shit, because I’ve sent his Instagram account messages before (mainly by accident due to a tag on a post) and I’ve never gotten a response from him. A thank you for being a fan would be nice.

Riley said, “I’ve just seen so much value in saying things the way I would say them…I think that when fans see a post…it’s very commercialized and very like, ‘Hey y’all,’ I feel like they know.”

Even though I don’t talk with these two guys in person anymore…and Preston kind of blew me off last time I was in Nashville…I’m still team LOCASH.

I still remember meeting these two guys in Missouri in 2008 when they still went by the “LOCASH Cowboys”. And we spent some quality time at Walmart before hitting up the bar that night for a show. It was a damn good Saturday in 2008.

These days Preston and Chris just go by LOCASH. They also have four #1 to their name and now they’re about to release album number six this year.

LOCASH will release their new album, “Chris & Preston”, on October 23, 2026, through their independent label, Galaxy Label Group.

Life is hard…but it’s better spent with someone you love.

Lainey Wilson released a song today called “Kinda Love It” about her marriage to Devlin “Duck” Hodges. It’s about her admitting that she didn’t think she’d ever settle down, and how she’s in love with her life now.

This makes another song she has with John Mayer by the way, because she wrote him and he also plays guitar on it too.

Now there’s some finger pointing happening in Tulsa, OK.

In case you’re unaware, Ella Langley abruptly canceled her show at the BOK Center in Tulsa on Friday, October 9, 2026. And it was all due to “a serious security threat”.

Well…according to local Tulsa news outlet KOTV, there was a “false bomb threat call”, which was information provided by Tulsa police, and officers told the outlet they “conducted a preliminary sweep with K-9 officers and found no indication of a threat.”

They also said “did not advise the BOK Center or the artist’s team to cancel the concert”, though clearly the venue, or Ella, felt it was still necessary to unfortunately cancel the show.

I get some people want to blame someone for wasted hard earned money being spent to even attend Ella’s show. But there’s a better safe than sorry…because if something would’ve happened…that “what if” would’ve been worse.

Pneumonia ain’t no joke. As in it will kick your ass.

Travis Tritt unfortunately canceled three more shows due to pneumonia. His team posted a statement on his socials saying, “thank you for your understanding, continued support, and well wishes…He looks forward to being back on stage soon.”

Hopefully Travis bounces back soon. Country music needs that man.

He agreed to talk with us again…and we had another great conversation with Zach John King on our “Hillbilly Live’s Sh*t We Like” podcast.’

Zach got his own first headlining tour happening and a debut album out called “I’m What You Get”, which is worth your time to listen to by way. It’s a fine project from our friend from Georgia…and he’s willing to autograph almost anything for his fans too.

“Grand Theft Auto VI” will have in-game podcasts and at least six radio stations that players can listen to. The country station will be hosted by Lana Del Rey as a character named “Delta Dawne” and Morgan Wallen as “MW”.

Lana’s husband will also make a few appearances as her “secret” lover, a character named Mud Dog Mike.

The country station is called “Back Country Radio” and it’s going to feature classic and outlaw country music. The featured artist and songs are a perfect fit for the station too. I mean I would listen to this.

The artist and songs are…

• David Allan Coe – “Need a Little Time Off for Bad Behavior”
• Loretta Lynn – “Don’t Come Home a Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind)”
• Hank Williams Jr. & Waylon Jennings – “The Conversation”
• George Strait – “The Fireman”
• Joe Diffie – “Pickup Man”
• Clint Black – “Killin’ Time”
• Toby Keith – “Should’ve Been a Cowboy”
• Alan Jackson – “Don’t Rock the Jukebox”
• Morgan Wallen – “Last Thing You Need”

“GTA 6” is to come out November 19th. As for the other hosts on the other five stations…they include Bad Bunny, Burna Boy, Robyn, Trick Daddy, Trina, and Slayer’s Kerry King and Tom Araya.
