Just Wear a Packers Jersey

Jimmy Carter in Humid Houston

What a rookie mistake! All Jessica needed to do was come out wearing a Packer jersey and she would have owned the place. It was never about booing Jess ... 20-year-old drunk boys at festivals should always be suspect of booing pretty girls. It never made sense...

Not everyone likes the Dallas Cowboys ... or my University of Alabama, or the New York Yankees.

When in Rome, do as the Romans. Even if you are sleeping with the quarterback, it doesn't mean the away team is going to think you are cool for it. In Tuscaloosa, you better say you love Bear Bryant. Never seen any act make that kind of insensitive sports gesture ... she was in a nest of cheese heads!

Common sense ... in Chicago, it's "Go, Bears" not "Hail to the Broncos" ... we all signed off on that. Not "Let's see if the La Simpson has learned from her mistakes." Her music is just fine! And the CD will do equally well....

Houston has the same humidity as Calcutta. How did I live here once upon a time? Winters are great! Radio is all over the place here. Used to be a Country town ... and the country is good. Just a lot of other junk mixed in. Try hitting the scan in your town.

Summer concert season means dodging hurricanes and bugs. I'm not sure who said that the outdoor sheds were so cool. In July and August in some places, it's simply unbearable ... unless you are stoned drunk. Well, duh.

Did you see where Louis Messina said that the Chesney show cost 1.4 million a night to put on -- and that's before fuel and paying for the acts? You wonder what Roy Acuff would say about all this. His gang crossed the country in a station wagon on many occasions. The money going in and out is mind-boggling.

Ever tried to get into the mobile Internet stuff from CMT or this week from Faith Hill. Called a local Nashville number and Faith sang me a Christmas song. Cool ... literally. CMT's site was good. I went through Verizon; you just wonder how much does all this cost per customer actually using it. CMT is in the game in every kind of platform just like their MTV parents. Not everyone can afford that luxury.

Sugarland's CD will be very big ... They have worked very hard and deserve the success. Is there a festival they did NOT play this Spring and Summer? Local, retail, politics... Nothing takes the place of hard work!
