This man’s bar had a big grand opening thanks to Morgan Wallen.
Eric Church opened his bar “Chief’s” in downtown Nashvillle in 2024. If you’ve never visited, there’s about 40 bars in just a five-block stretch. So, what makes his special?
During a recent interview with Peter Zarzour on his “Hometown Titans”podcast, Eric talked about why it was so important to him to allow artists to showcase their original music in his bar.
He said, “we have a venue that brings in people 5, 6 nights a week, and we put ’em on stage and we don’t make ’em play other people’s songs. It’s about people being discovered.”
Morgan Wallenquietly paid for the funeral of a young fan last August.
He met this boy two months prior and gave him the VIP treatment at his show, including limo transportation. The boy’s mom shared Morgan’s kindness in an update.
She said, “going to see your favorite artist this summer and even though you’re in Heaven I know you have the best seat in the house and just know we are taking you with us. I’m very blessed and thankful that you were able to meet him…
I will forever be a Morgan Wallen fan! The fact that he quietly paid for your funeral there just are no words to how amazing that is. You listened to his music to get through fighting cancer and now Mama listens to it to get through each day.”
Welcome to the first Friday in May 8, 2026. And we do in fact have some new country music here.
Now be sure to do your part in visiting your neighbor liquor store to pair your favorite alcohol with your new favorite country music, because it’s how country music is supposed be enjoyed. Don’t let anyone judge you for it neither.
I feel this has happened before in this house, because dogs never give up in trying to steal a well cooked steak. That little dog has some height in their jump too.
They really need a bigger dog friend in their life to help them reach for those just out of reach meals on the counter.
If you’re going to rob a place called the “Half Ass Bar”…you aren’t going to get away with doing it half-assed.
Two women have been charged after stealing more than $3,500 from the “Half Ass Bar” in Bland, Missouri. I mean this town could probably do a better job at hyping itself up.
They broke into the safe…a “cash-to-coin exchange machine” was taken…and they attempted to break into an ATM on the site. They were also caught on security cameras, along with their vehicle.
Turns out, one of the women was the daughter of the owners…and the motivation was probably financing a drug habit, because one of them had fentanyl and meth on them when they were caught. Remember. Illegal drugs will make you literally stupid kids.
The owners even called out their daughter on social media when they found out she was responsible. The police asked them to take down her actual name while the legal system sorts it all out. As their parent…they had every right to call their daughter out.
If you have no integrity…no amount of money can make you a better person.
Parker McCollumturned down a $1 million offer to not sign a record deal with Universal. He said, “I remember thinking…the last thing I want to do is go to Nashville and immediately let everybody know I can be bought.
I was like, if they can buy you, you know, how you going to have any respect? How you going to have any dignity, integrity?”
And don’t get me wrong, a million dollars can help pay off a lot of bills and help make you financially stable. The money will always run out though and if you burned bridges to earn that money…there’s no repairing that damage you did to earn that paycheck. Integrity and self respect is worth more than any amount of money in life.
Zach Bryan doesn’t have the greatest track record when it comes to fan interactions. And here’s a fresh example.
As Zach was seen driving through stadium gates, a fan asked for a picture. He responded by yelling a vulgar quote from the sketch comedy series, “I Think You Should Leave”. He said, “you think any ghosts ever come out of the walls with a big [c-shot]?”
It’s from a sketch where Tim Robinson is touring a haunted house and can’t stop asking inappropriate questions.
It’s possible that Zach never heard the fan, but the fan was not amused. He posted the entire interaction and said, “I love the guy’s music a lot, but it’s hard to support someone with this intention and personality towards others.”
Well, Zach responded and said, “a world you can’t yell ‘I Think You Should Leave’ references out the window in is a world I don’t want to be in. You guys are so soft and weird.”
Cody Johnson really doesn’t like to be compared to King George Strait. He explained why when he opened for George at Clemson’s Memorial Stadium on Saturday (5/2/26).
He said, “I have an issue with the fact that people say, ‘Oh, you’re the next George Strait.’ When I get 62 #1 singles on the Billboard charts, we can talk. There will only ever be one King of country music and he’s here tonight.”
Cody also delivered a powerful message about human kindness and unity to a record-breaking crowd of over 90,000 fans at Clemson’s Memorial Stadium. He reminded the audience that “there’s three things that bind us all together in my United States of America”, which is the “red, white and blue”.
I ain’t gonna lie. I teared up a little watching this.
Jelly Roll just finished a taping of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Monday when he went out of his way to meet with a disabled fan and his mom. And after tapping with Jimmy Kimmel you have do something nice for a little redemption because Jimmy is a real life douchebag.
Jelly said, “you don’t know how much this means to me. You don’t know how much I need this. I’m glad I got to come say hi.”
When the mom shared that they have tickets to see him Friday, Jelly told her that they’ll roll out the red carpet for them. He said, “we’ll bring you all backstage and meet everybody, okay? We’ll party Friday…making my soul smile man…it almost brings a tear to my eye.”
