Kentucky Couple May Have Ended Manhunt For Highway Shooter By Making “Date Nights” Out Of Searching For Wanted Man In The Woods
Ending a manhunt together... how romantic. Eastern Kentucky has been rattled ever since 32-year-old Joseph Couch shot at vehicles driving by on 1-75 on September 7th. It's estimated that the alleged suspect, who was positioned on a cliff overlooking the interstate, shot nearly a dozen vehicles. Five people were reported to be injured in the shooting, and thankfully, all of them are expected to make full recoveries. The shooting suspect fled the scene on foot and was believed to have retreated to the Daniel Boone National Forest area. A manhunt has been ongoing ever since the shooting occurred, but now thanks to...
Arizona Cardinals Apologize After A Fan Was Forced To Throw Away Her MAGA Hat Before Entering State Farm Stadium
Blaming the security guard. We're just two months out from the election, so it shouldn't really be a surprise to see more and more folks wearing gear supporting their favorite candidate. And rather than wearing her team's gear, one Arizona Cardinals fan decided to wear a hat supporting GOP nominee and former President Donald Trump to the team's home opener against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. According to 12News, Susan Rosener and her husband were going through security when a female security guard told her that she wouldn't be able to wear her black "Make America Great Again" hat into State Farm...
Sturgill Simpson Throws Down Cover Of The Doors’ 1971 Song “L.A. Woman”
Sturgill Simpson is switching up the setlist for each Why Not? Tour show thus far. Kicking off his first tour since 2021, Simpson fired up the crowd in L.A. over the weekend for the first shows back on the road at the Greek Theatre. The tour is off to an electric start as Simpson performs the hits fans know and love while bringing new material from his latest Johnny Blue Skies project to the stage. He's also keeping fans on their toes with a few covers in the setlist, crushing it with a cover of Prince's "Purple Rain." After his two-night run in Los...
60-Year-Old Woman Severely Burned After She Wandered Off-Trail & Fell Into A Thermal Feature At Yellowstone National Park
Another incident of a tourist getting too close to one of Yellowstone National Park's thermal areas. It was reported in a news release from Yellowstone National Park that a 60-year-old woman from New Hampshire was severely injured while she was visiting the national park with her husband and their dog. The couple and their pet were walking in an off-trail area when they accidentally wandered into a dangerous area. They apparently strayed from the Mallard Lake Trailhead - which offers an elevated view of Old Faithful at one point - and tried to make their own path (one of the few times...
“Going To Stick Out On Country Radio Like A Sore Thumb” – Parker McCollum Says New Single “What Kinda Man” Isn’t Your Typical Radio Hit
Parker McCollum took a swing on his new song "What Kinda Man." If you ask were to ask me, I'd say that swing was successful. To the casual fan, "What Kinda Man" doesn't necessarily sound like a typical song from Parker over the past couple of years, but for the OGs, the sound of that harmonica is very familiar. McCollum himself confessed to Billboard that the new song has him somewhat worked up. Bringing back the harmonica and unique slide guitar featured in the track, he predicts that it's going to turn some heads on radio and streaming: "I’m a little nervous about this...
It’s Been Over Three Years Since Eric Church Released ‘Heart & Soul,’ And We Need A New Album ASAP
Alright... I'm ready for a new Eric Church album. The country superstar hasn't released a new record since his Heart & Soul project in 2021, which was a three-part album that was released separately throughout April over three years ago now. Of course, he famously wrote and recorded during a 28-day marathon in the North Carolina mountains, which was obviously during the COVID pandemic, though he had planned to do it that way before all of that broke out. Anywho, since then, on the music front, he's been pretty quiet. Obviously, he's been busy with plenty of other projects, like opening his bar in downtown...
Stephen A. Smith Thought Vikings QB Sam Darnold Threw A Football 127 Yards Through The Air
You're bound to make some mistakes when you are on TV for more than half of your waking hours. There's no one that talks more about sports than Stephen A. Smith. He does get paid a lot of money to do so, but one might think that Smith could get a little burnt out blabbering about sports around the clock like he does. At the very least, the quantity of content that he puts out sometimes has to mean there's a lack of quality (lack of factualness might be a better way of putting it). That was on display during a recent...
Jelly Roll Set To Be Musical Guest On 50th Season Premiere Of ‘Saturday Night Live’
Jelly Roll is on a roll. It might be helpful for all of us if we are just informed of things that Jelly Roll is not being asked to do. The rapper-turned-country-artist is everywhere you look nowadays. His new song "Get By" is the theme for ESPN's College Football season, he just performed at the Emmy's, he's right in the middle of his Beautifully Broken Tour (and is set to release his Beautifully Broken album on October 11th) and now he's got another bucket list item to check off: He'll be the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. Jelly Roll will be a...

Going down under. Today, Luke Combs announced a mini tour for 2025, which is headed to Australia and New Zealand next year for a total of eight shows. Of course, he's been playing stadiums this year on his Growin’ Up And Gettin’ Old tour, which has set attendance records at multiple different venues.

Tickets for all shows go on sale next Wednesday, September 25th: https://www.instagram.com/p/DAEkZgmxsXd/
Ex-Girlfriend Of Tennessee Titans QB Will Levis Posts About “Karma” After Terrible Start To The Season
Might as well rub it in a little. Gia Duddy stole the show during the 2023 NFL Draft, sitting beside her boyfriend and former University of Kentucky quarterback Will Levis as he plummeted down the board. https://twitter.com/SportsCenter/status/1651792124474716160 Levis was eventually drafted in the second round by the Tennessee Titans, and became the team's starting QB last season when starter Ryan Tannehill went down with an ankle injury. Coming into 2024, Levis held onto the starting job, but couldn't manage to hold onto his smokeshow girlfriend, with the two splitting during his rookie season. The quarterback has since moved on in his personal life, and is...
A 5-Song Introduction To Red Dirt Legends, Cross Canadian Ragweed
In case you haven't heard the news, Cross Canadian Ragweed updated their social media yesterday for the first time since 2011 and people are fired up for the potential of new music or a reunion tour. And who knows, maybe there's something as simple as a re-release coming, but either way, it's exciting. The country/rock band formed in Stillwater, Oklahoma, is a cornerstone of the Red Dirt scene and inspired most of our current favorite Texas/Oklahoma artists, such as Koe Wetzel, Tanner Usrey, and Wyatt Flores... the list goes on and on. The group formed in 1994 and released their debut album,...
Steve Earle Reminds Wives That They Don’t Have To Tell Their Husbands Who They Voted For While Endorsing Kamala Harris
Keep that vote secret, ladies. It's not really any surprise that "Copperhead Road" singer Steve Earle is endorsing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election. The self-identified socialist supported Senator Bernie Sanders in 2016, and has called former President Donald Trump a "fascist" and "an orangutan." So of course Earle plans to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024, and endorsement he formally made in a video posted to his social media. But he also took time to remind people, especially women, that their vote is secret - just in case they want to vote for Harris without their...
9 Years Ago Today, The Turnpike Troubadours Released Their Fourth Studio Album
The self-titled album. Today is the ninth birthday of the Turnpike Troubadours' self-titled record, The Turnpike Troubadours. In 2015, after taking a three-year break from making new music so they could tour and make money, the Oklahoma red dirt band threw down on this record. With the tracklist featuring classics like "The Bird Hunters," "The Mercury," "Down Here," "Long Drive Home," and more, this record is hands down a fan favorite among their listeners. "We all felt like all of the other projects were rough, and they were kind of a second priority because we were out touring and trying to make money. For...
12-Year-Old Hunter Saves His Dad From Black Bear Attack In Wisconsin: “Could Feel The Bullet Going Through The Bear”
Going out into the woods as a father and son should be all about making memories, and this father and son certainly won't be forgetting their Wisconsin hunting trip anytime soon. 43-year-old Ryan Beierman and his 12-year-old son Owen were bear hunting near their family cabin when things went horribly wrong. Earlier in the day, Owen had shot and wounded a black bear, and it had run away. The Beierman duo were careful as they proceeded to walk through the woods as it got dark, but never could have imagine that the bear they had shot earlier would turn the tables on...
The Rolling Stones Once Crushed A Cover Of Waylon Jennings’ “Bob Wills Is Still the King” During Texas Concert
When in Texas. Back in 2006, The Rolling Stones headlined a show at Zilker Park, Austin, Texas, where they of course ran through tons of their classic hits... but they also played a country classic for the Lone Star crowd. Mick Jagger and the boys did a cover of Waylon Jennings' "Bob Wills Is Still the King," which was released in 1975 on his Dreaming My Dreams album. It also appeared in August of 1975 as the B-side of “Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way”, the second single from the album, and eventually cracked the Top 10 on the country charts. It...
Zach Bryan Deactivates His Twitter Account (Again) After Drunkenly Tweeting That Kanye Is Better Than Taylor Swift
Annnnd he's gone...again. Zach Bryan seems to have a love/hate relationship with Twitter (or X, whatever you call it these days). The country music superstar likes to post a lot of stream-of-consciousness thoughts on Twitter (apparently when he's drunk - we'll get to that in a minute), and when he starts getting backlash for them, instead of just ignoring the tweets, Zach will jump in and start defending himself, try to clear things up, and eventually just deactivate his account for a while. Rinse, repeat. And it looks like it happened again. It all started yesterday when Zach posted a string of tweets about...
Wife Makes Her Husband Run Towards Black Bear To Save Cooler Full Of Alcohol
Sacrifice the husband, save the booze. This wife had a big decision to make while at her cabin in Gatlinburg when she saw a black bear walking towards her car, which had its trunk open and the cooler still sitting out behind it. Obviously your first priority in this situation has to be to protect the cooler full of alcohol: If the bear gets the booze, your vacation is pretty much ruined before it starts. And that wasn't a risk the wife was willing to take. In the first video, we see that the bear had already been rummaging through the trunk and...
Waylon Jennings Recalls Convincing A Guy To Leave His Wife Backstage So He Could Be Alone With Her: “He Walked Out Like A Giant”
Waylon Jennings is an absolute legend, and his iconic collection of music speaks for itself (it's one of my favorites of all time), but more than the music, his independent attitude and the way he lived his life… it’s just downright captivating. He was interviewed years ago on Nashville Public Television in promotion of his book which was released in 1996, Waylon: An Autobiography. They dove deep into some of the elements that made Jennings a country music icon, and he also tells a few stories that personify his infamous outlaw spirit. One of my favorite Waylon stories I’ve ever heard was one he told during...
Miranda Lambert’s Cover Of David Allan Coe’s “Living on the Run” Is Honky Tonk Gold
Honky tonk gold. Last Friday, Miranda Lambert released her new studio album Postcards From Texas, which I've had on repeat. She said time and again leading up to the release, and even now, that she wanted it to be a tribute to her home state of Texas and all of the country music that has inspired her over the years. From the scathing divorce anthem “Alimony” to heartfelt ballads about heartbreak and love lost like “Run,” the album is dripped in waling steel guitar and Miranda’s authentic, honest songwriting, and Postcards From Texas is a beautiful collection of songs that pay homage to who...
Massive Alligator Takes Out Invasive Burmese Python In The Florida Everglades
Two kings of the swamp battling for supremacy. Alligators have long called Florida home and have been the unequivocal king of the waterways but in recent years an invasive species has seen a huge surge in population and is now competing with gators for their place on top of the food chain. Burmese pythons were introduced to The Sunshine State through a combination of exotic animal trades gone wrong and the release of pets into the wild, and to say they took to the environment well would be the understatement of the century. Due to their reclusive nature and the fact they...
