Bright & Early: Happy Birthday, Johnny Cash Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Today would have been Johnny Cash’s 78th birthday and it’s Friday (and it’s also Michael Bolton’s birthday.)

Bright & Early: Fly Away Home Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We can’t believe that it’s Monday again and we’re looking at a third straight Titans win. But do you know what else we are looking at? Oh, just this video of 86-year old Titans owner Bud Adams flipping not one, not two, but about three billion birds at the Buffalo Bills on [...]
Bright & Early: Wait-Listed Edition
Good morning, Nashville.

Those overseeing the program hope that their own services can be supplemented with federal programs and pharmaceutical companies. Pregnant women [...]

Happy Hour: At Least There Are Cute Baby Animals
We might not be accomplishing much in this state this year, but we’ll at least have green vending machines. [WSMV]
And Tennessee’s revenue shortfall for the month of April? $112 million. [WTVF]
But enough about that! The Nashville Zoo welcomed some cute (and we mean REALLY cute) clouded leopard cubs which are apparently quite rare. Adorable picture [...]
Happy Hour: First You Take The Salt…
Well, Franklin failed to earn the Tequila Capitol of the World title yesterday, drawing a few hundred shy of their goal at Sol’s Cinco de Mayo shindig. Maybe next year! [WKRN]
Two schools in Cookeville were evacuated after homemade soda bottle bombs went off in trashcans in both schools. Fortunately no one was hurt, but several [...]
Bright & Early: Snip Snap, Snip Snap Edition
Good morning, Nashville. No drunk birds in the news this morning, but State Rep. Karen Camper (D-Memphis) did just file a bill pushing to get state regulation of vasectomies on the ballot. Best we can tell, the bill is basically a snarky response to all the talk about the state regulation of abortions. According to [...]
