Monday was a HUGE day for Taylor Swift.  She released her highly-anticipated new CD, Red, and it immediately raced to the top of the ITunes album chart.  And, on The WBKR Waking Crew, Nashville Kat called in and we chatted about how Taylor continues to dominate the globe.  So, we started wondering . . . What would Taylor Swift be like as President of the United States?  We know she's popular enough to get a bunch of votes, so what is she actually won the office?  LISTEN!

Week two of The X Factor and you know Benefield and Nashville Kat are HUGE fans of the show.  If you haven't tuned in, we highly recommend giving it a look.  The talent is CRAZY good and you truly never know what you are going to get.  Take, for instance, Jason Brock.  Last week, in the Providence auditions, Jason walked onto the stage and shared his vision of what his first concert tour would look like.  The judges, particularly Simon, were on "freakshow alert."  But then Jason started to sing.  And he slayed Billy Joel's 'New York State of Mind!"  Watch this!!  Jason is proof that you can't judge a book or a voice by its cover.

Uh oh!  It's happened again.  Zac Brown Band just unveilved their first single from their brand new Uncaged CD and alot of folks are scratching their heads.  The song, which I love by the way, is called 'The Wind."  They performed it at the CMT Music Awards on Wednesday night and the crowd was totally digging the band's bluegrass vibe.  However, some people, including our Nashville insider Nashville Kat, thought the song had a very familiar ring to it.  In fact, Kat urged us to listen to "The Wind" then compare it to Glen Campbell's "Gentle on My Mind."  She insists that Zac's song is THAT song . . . just sped up!  And, you know what  . . . she may be right!  Take a listen!

Yes, I know.  This is a completely random question.  And, yes!  I know.  It's SO twenty-three years ago.   Do you remember the movie Steel Magnolias?  I'm sure you do.  Dolly Parton played a hairdresser named Truvy and, at a certain point in the film, she gets asked about one of her famous recipes.  That recipe is called Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa.  Olympia Dukakis' character, Clairee, wants Truvy to give her the recipe and Truvy says, "You don't need a recipe.  It's just a cup of flour, a cup of sugar and a cup of fruit cocktail with the syrup.  Stir and bake in a hot oven until golden brown and bubbly."  So, Thursday morning on the WBKR Waking Crew, Nashville Kat, Moon and I wondered . . . does this REALLY work?
