Joan Rivers new book, I Hate Everyone  . . . Starting with Me, is hilarious.  I picked it up because I wanted something fun and light to read while I was lounging by the pool on vacation.  And Joan delivered with 242 pages of raucous, laugh-out-loud one-liners.  In the book, Joan takes on virtually anything and everything you can think of . . . including country music stars, who get a big shout-ou

It was on this date in 2007 that Vince Gill joined up with the Fruit of the Loom clothing company to do commercials for the firm.  They performed "Daddy Was the apple of My Eye". Wanna see it? Not the commercial, just Vince and the "Fruits" singing the song. Look. Willie Nelson stirred up some controversy in 2005 when he released a reggae album.

Hi this is Steve Horn I've been with WBKR since 1989, I write and produce commercials here at WBKR kind of  behind the scenes, I'm still out and about occasionally broadcasting from somewhere having fun.  Anyway back to the story, over the years I've had the pleasure of meeting some great country music stars my 1st star I met back in 1990 was Robin Lee she did a re-make of "Black Velvet"

Listening to WBKR as I always do, this morning I heard the new duet from Brad Paisley & Carrie Underwood "Remind Me" it got me to thinking about all the great duet partners over the years like Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn,  Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton,  George Jones & Tammy Wynette, Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson,  Alan Jackson & Jimmy Buffet and so many more!

After watching The Blind Boys of Alabama, I had to admit I was blown away.

It is the day of reckoning. Time to pay the piper. It is April 15th. Somewhere, Willie Nelson is keeping a low profile. On this day in 1755, Samuel Johnson's "A Dictionary of the English Language" was published. Good Lord, how many dictionaries were there? Aren't they all the same words?
