Bright & Early: Bust Out The Candles Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Downtown seems to have recovered from yesterday’s power outage/gas leakage/CMA invasion. We’re getting conflicting stories as to what actually happened, but we’re going to go with the one that names copper theft as the main culprit. According to NES, the pilfered copper would have prevented the outage. A close runner up would [...]
It’s CMApocalypse (For Real, Y’All!)

Our favorite endearing term for the CMA Awards rings a little true today as road closures, gas leaks, transformer explosions and massive power outages have plagued downtown Nashville since early this morning. A gas [...]
Bright & Early: CMApocalypse v.2.0 Edition
Good morning, Nashville. You know what day it is, right? It’s CMApocalypse 2008, round 2. We’re heartbroken that we had to miss Miley and Billy Ray downtown for Good Morning America this morning, but we take comfort in knowing that they’ll probably be performing that song somewhere in Nashville at least 4,851 more times before [...]

We may not be able to drive the downtown streets, but we can enjoy some free entertainment from some pretty big name country [...]
Tonight: Kenny Chesney Surprises Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge
It’s not really a surprise since we’re telling you in advance, but just imagine the looks on all those CMA-tourist-faces when Kenny Chesney shows up tonight at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge. We heard it on the radio today – Kenny Chesney and The Wailers are in town for the CMA’s and will be making a relatively [...]
Bright & Early: Cultural Sensitivity 101 Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Members of the local Kurdish community are none to pleased with the Williamson County GOP this morning after discovering that party officials posted a statement (EDIT: Screenshot by Mike Byrd) on the group’s website back in July saying that “…There are 8,000 Kurdish immigrants living here in Nashville trying to repay our [...]
