Bright & Early: It’s Been A Week Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re not gonna lie: All the breaking news in the past 24 hours has us pretty worn out. As of this morning, Sgt. Mark Chesnut–the 44-year old Metro officer who was injured in yesterday’s shooting on I-40–is headed back into surgery at Vanderbilt for some pretty severe internal injuries.

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 [...]
