Garth Brooks is in the process of purchasing 100.1 FM in Nashville to launch a new country station.

The spot is currently occupied by Lightning 100, but once the sale goes through, it’ll move to a different spot.

“Nashville is being called ‘The Newest City in America,’ and we want to bring a new kind of communication combining terrestrial and digital radio, built to grow with this city.

Our job is NOT to compete with the local channels in Nashville, but to PROMOTE what they have going on. We are NOT a reporter.  We are a SERVICE to Music City and its businesses.”

Garth also wants to put an emphasis on female artists from the ’60s to today on his new station. He says they’ve historically received significantly less radio airplay than men and he wants to change that.

He’s also struck a deal with Nashville Severe Weather to interrupt broadcasts to give critical weather updates. There will also be an app to serve tourists and share the local events.

So, not only will Garth not put his music on streaming platforms, he now thinks young generations are listening to radio? Okay then.

Videos like this are priceless memories.

There’s a resurfaced clip of Tyler Childers from 2007 that shows he always loved performing. In it, he’s 16 years old singing an original song at a talent show called Big Sandy Idol.

High school talent shows are…and we’re the best. Luckily he choose music as a career.

If he’d only stop being a bitch…and play “Feathered Indians” live again. It would fill my soul. The only person…or people actually offended by that song of his are the fans not being able to hear Tyler sing it live like God intended.

Miranda Lambert is releasing a live album with Amazon Music called “Songline” on Friday, November 13, 2026.

It’s a recording of her performance at The Truth in Nashville back in October with her band and a 12-piece orchestra. She literally helped open the venue with that performance of hers.

“Snakeskin Boots” is now available on Amazon Music. There will also be a “Songline” companion film released a week later on the 20th. It’ll include the performances and interview footage with Miranda and her collaborators.

In other Miranda news, she turned 43 yesterday (11/9/26) and got serenaded by the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders with a Happy Birthday song. And this is how I want my next birthday to go. Any NFL cheerleading group singing happy birthday is fine with me too.

To be fair. Even I did practice, I still couldn’t do this shit.

Whoever came up with this particular sport was obviously drunk in a garage at a party somewhere on earth and said “watch this”. I’d pick a different sport. Like watching them instead of participating.

How did Supercuts make it as a business…but not this?

“Cuts & Curls” did updos for $8 and curly perms for only $20 back in the late 1900s. We need hair salons like this again.

This guy seems like an outlaw out of the 1970s.

A 32-year-old driver in Florida named Zachary Murray fled from a traffic stop last month…launching a police chase. He was eventually spotted after running a red light and nearly hitting another truck, head-on.

Deputies used a “pit maneuver” to stop him, causing his truck to turn and flip onto its side. That’s when the cops circled in. They ordered him out of the truck, and the first thing Zachary said was, “can I get a cigarette?”

The cops weren’t amused. And Zachary said, “yes, sir. Yes, sir. I’m sorry. I’m not trying to fight…man, I’m going to jail.” Yup!

Zachary had cocaine and other drugs in his truck, and was charged with drug possession, trafficking in cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia, fleeing and eluding, and reckless driving.

Ella Langley recently wrapped up her Dandelion tour, but not before she could hand out Christmas bonuses.

She dressed up to impress for these bonuses too…as she actually dressed up as Santa Claus. There’s a video clip, that’s been posted where she’s running around an arena handing out envelopes to crew members.

Ella even ripped a hole in her Santa pants, and sings Dolly Parton’s “Hard Candy Christmas”, which is one the best (non) Christmas songs ever recorded by the way.

Hulu released a trailer for a documentary about Darius Rucker’s career. It’s called “Darius Rucker: They Called Me Hootie” and it comes out next Monday, October 16th.

It follows his days at the University of South Carolina, where he met his Hootie & the Blowfish bandmates, his substance abuse issues, and his journey into country music. It also shows how he’s working on a new album in London.

It includes appearances from Darius’ Hootie bandmates, Brad Paisley, Lady A, Woody Harrelson, and family members.

It only took about four days…but they’ve finally responded.

Sammy Kershaw post the news the Country Music Association (CMA) denying his request to walk the red carpet at the 60th annual CMA Awards November 18, 2026. They literally pissed off a lot of people and especially Sammy.

The CMAs have finally made a statement saying…

“In recent days, several artists and their fans have spoken out about this year’s CMA Awards red carpet guidelines. Like any major televised event, the red carpet has criteria that exists to help manage limited space and the security needs for both the artists and the media. We are deeply sorry anyone felt excluded by those decisions.

Our organization’s mission is to honor the history and celebrate the excellence of Country Music. With this 60th anniversary year, we are working extra hard to simultaneously spotlight the last six decades, while also celebrating what has been a tremendous year in 2026. It’s not easy to do all of that in just one night, but we are up for the challenge.

We also know this is about more than a red carpet, and we are committed to keep listening and keep finding ways to make sure all artists feel welcome and at home here. To that point, we are in touch with Sammy Kershaw’s team and look forward to continuing that conversation.”

I kind of hope Sammy tells the CMAs to kiss his ass…but I’m they responded publicly. And none of this would have happened if they would’ve said yes to the man’s request.
