Awkward…For a while back in the early 2000s, Sara Evans was one of the biggest names in country music. With hits like “Suds In The Bucket,” “No Place That Far,” “Born To Fly,” and “A Real Fine Place To Start,” there were plenty of dudes who grew up with a crush on the country star (and that may or may not include myself). But apparently Hank Williams Jr. didn’t know who she was – even when she was opening for him in concert.

Always good to have a doctor close by. Dr. Mehmet Oz, the physician and former Professor of Surgery turned television star, was sworn in today after being appointed as the administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. A ceremony was held with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, but it was abruptly cut short – due to a medical emergency. After Dr. Oz was sworn in, President Trump was speaking to the press as the doctor stood behind him.

Kid Rock vs. the media is a tale as old as time. The rocker/rapper, whose real name is Bob Ritchie, has always had a contentious relationship with the mainstream media. Of course Kid Rock is an outspoken conservative and Trump supporter and the mainstream media is…well, not. So it’s no wonder that they’re quick to report on anything that they think will make Kid Rock look bad.

Didn’t want anyone to know he was drinking on the job? There’s been a lot of outrage from Democrats over the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who was determined by a court in 2019 to be a member of the MS-13 gang. But he was also granted “withholding of removal” status by an immigration judge, which would have prevented his immediate deportation, due to concerns for his safety should he be deported back to his home country.

Running it back. Morgan Wallen and Post Malone had a massive hit with “I Had Some Help,” their first collab together that was released last year on Posty’s debut country album F-1 Trillion. The song debuted at the top of the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it would spend 6 weeks at #1, as well as the Hot Country Songs chart, where it remained for 7 weeks. The song is also nominated for Song of the Year, Single of the Year and Musical Event of the Year at the upcoming ACM Awards.
