And Why Is Keni Thomas Not Signed?

Someone boo-booed pretty big time in the star picker world in Music City. Did anyone see unsigned artist Keni Thomas sing the National Anthem at Game One of the World Series? This retired U.S. Army hero sang LIVE no help ... no tracks ... just him. Excellent job! Read the man's bio ... maybe there is something I can't see, but whoa!

Keni Thomas needs great material and even though he is not 19, he is an asset to Country music. And a nice guy I am told, too. How did he get away? A true bronze star for Valor, special forces guy who sings Country and can do the anthem and make it prond. Is there a disconnect between Music Row and the fan base? You think?

Taylor Swift almost got a lesson in UGLY this week. This sweet phenomenon hung out in Hollywood. Did TV shows, shot a Band Hero commercial, and posed for a picture with a guy wearing a Nazi symbol on his shirt. Hang around parties in West Hollywood long enough and you will get in trouble. You don't even have to drink to get in trouble ... Trouble will find you!

Taylor is such the darling of the media she got a quick pass after a scary TMZ start-up. Better be careful where you go and who you party with. Miley would have been in DEEP trouble had the shoe fit somewhere else.

Another 90,000 sold for Taylor? Tim McGraw sells 130,000-plus!

Craig Morgan and Chris Young in the Middle East. Fighting some time of bug. Dehydration and lack of sleep.

Miranda Lambert must be channeling Annie Oakley. Blake Shelton at Opry Saturday night.

New Carrie Underwood in the week ahead 11/3. She's been on radio and TV for days. Taylor still upstaging her.

Is Reba going to be in this move called Pumas? A few reports say yes ... Who is opening for George Strait in 2010?

Alan Jackson and the Lebanon, TN restaurant chain Cracker Barrel have hooked up. -- 41 items for the CB with Alan's brand. From clothes to a rocking chair. Alan's doing an in-store in Mt. Juliet on Monday, 11/2 at 9a. I'm using this official AJ leather catch-all to hold my keys and wallet.

The Zac Brown Band has a Grammy nom in its future, I predict. ZBB playing the Talladega NASCAR race this weekend.

Looking at the Nashville Country sales charts ... Why is Miley listed in the Country sales figures? Creative accounting, it seems!

KISS played here this week ... Roger Daltry ... rock town ... CMA is on the way .... Veteran's Day is show day.
