Bright & Early: Don’t Say #$% Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The controversial “Don’t Say Gay” bill passed the Tennessee Senate this weekend with a few changes, despite recent protests by Nashville students.

Happy Hour: Bright Lights, Big City
Undercover officers busted up a Brentwood drug operation and seized $89,000 in black tar heroin earlier this week. [WSMV] Nashville has officially received more snow than average. Obviously.

Happy Hour: Some Children Left Behind
Welp, the report cards are out and Metro failed to make Adequate Yearly Progress under No Child Left Behind. But! But.

NPR Goes To Grimey’s, Talks About… Taylor Swift?

So we know that somewhere out there, people are paying for country records. Turns out they’re [...]

[WTVF] Kids are starting school next week (already!?) and it looks [...]
Happy Hour: Nashville Rising
Tonight is the night of that gigantic flood benefit concert at Bridgestone! Miley and Taylor and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill and Jason Aldean and Miranda Lambert and about a billion other country artists will be playing for a sold-out crowd.

Bright & (Not So) Early: Welcome To The Fun Zone Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Even your Nashvillest oversleeps sometimes, so here’s a very abbreviated edition of Bright & Early: Vince Young was picked up on an assault citation at a Dallas strip club after allegedly pummeling an employee for disresepecting the Texas Longhorns. Why, VY™, why? [WTVF] Some cities give their guests flyers to remind them [...]
