Joe The Plumber (Will Never Go Away): Next Big Nashville Star?

We say we’ve had enough of Joe the Plumber, the plumber from Ohio who voiced his concerns about taxes to Senator Barack Obama at a rally and has since become a household name. But Joe the Plumber doesn’t think we’ve had enough of him, and it looks like he’ll be sticking around for a while [...]

Happy Hour: Are We There Yet? Are We There Yet?

With just seven days, two hours, and 48 minutes until the Belmont debate (not that anyone’s keeping track), Metro’s making the final security preparations for the event including “beautifying” the campus (ha, ha), building a huge fence to deter the protesters, and charting out road closures. Also, if anyone from Gallup happens to call, play [...]

Happy Hour: File It Under ‘Excuses To Drink’

We’re thinking that hell may have actually frozen over: Our beloved alma mater Belmont University–the driest of dry campuses–will be allowing booze onto the premises for one night only. Beer will be served in the Anheuser-Busch sponsored “media canteen” located right next to the media tent. It’s a slippery slope, friends. [WKRN]
Meanwhile, the folks at [...]

Happy Hour: Barrel Of Laughs (And Our 500th Post!)

You may be among the few and the proud who have been around Nashville long enough to remember Adam Dread, former councilman/radio host/stand-up comedian who spent the better part of his term with his foot permanently lodged in his mouth. Well, he’s back on the stage and opening up for comedian Steve McGraw at Zanies [...]

Happy Hour: Will Hoge Needs A Hug

Will Hoge is out of the hospital and okay. By “okay” we mean just about everything is broken, bruised, or stitched up but he’s going to recover. He even blogged about the accident, but it’s not for the faint of heart (or stomach!) Nashvillest wishes you a speedy recovery Will! [WSMV]
Brooks & Dunn are the [...]

Happy Hour: Crocs Aren’t Dead

The Tennessean profiles the inventors of The Most Hideous Things In The Whole World, Lubber totes, which are like Crocs in tote bag form. Incidentally, they hail from Franklin. [Tennessean]

Storytime: ‘Raisin’ McCain’ Explained [John Rich]

A few weeks ago we told you about John Rich’s new song Raisin’ McCain, which has since become sort of an anthem for John McCain’s campaign trail. In this clip, Rich does his best to explain what it took to coin the phrase, how he came up with the song, and what it means to [...]

Raisin’ McCain: John Rich Approves This Message

When we saw John Rich perform at the John McCain Town Hall Meeting a couple months ago, we had no idea his passion for the campaign ran this deep. Enjoy his brand new song, “Raising McCain,” which you can download for free from johnrich.com.

Happy Hour: The Heart Of America

Cindy McCain will be making an appearance in Nashville tomorrow to relate to the American people and all that. She’ll be riding a pace car around the racetrack for the Firestone 200 Indycar Race out in Lebanon. We’d love to see that. [Post Politics]
Over 200 crazy folks turned out at the Green Hills Mall Apple [...]

Bright & Early: Yes He Did Edition

Good morning, Nashville. It was a big night in politics last night, as Barack Obama pretty much clenched the Democratic nomination and became the first black man to ever do that. We say “pretty much” because everyone seems to be acknowledging it except Hillary. Even McCain spoke of her in the past tense which didn’t [...]
