Happy Hour: Wall Street’s Not The Only One Getting Tanked

• The economy might very well be tanking, but it’s good to know that somewhere in the world, Kenny Chesney is dreaming up a new kind of rum that promises a “vacation in a bottle.” We’re gonna need one unless we can find a way to bump CNN off the air for a few days. [Tennessean]
• And in the meantime, we’ve finally managed to put the gas crisis behind it (or actually just give it to Charlotte and Atlanta) and there’s plenty of it here to go around. [WSMV]
• What else does Nashville have in abundance? Pumpkins. Lots and lots and lots of pumpkins. [WTVF]
• And once again, Nashville waves a proud blue flag in the middle of a very red state. [Tennessean]
• Clearly the most important news of the day: We heard mumurings of a possible Bret Michaels bus sighting yesterday, and it looks like the rumors have been substantiated: Michaels is at the Wildhorse Saloon tonight filming his Rock of Love reality show. Bonus points and lots of love to anyone who sends us a picture. [Tennessean]
• Speaking of celebrities and whatnot, we be remiss to leave out Mindy McCready, who starts her 60-day sentence tomorrow for a probation violation. [WTVF]
