COUNTRY MUSIC

Spring has sprung and you have to be enjoying this weather. upper 50's/low 60's during the day and mid-40's at night.  a gradualsegue into summer which beats the hell out of 35 one day and 'hello summer' the next day when it turns 80.  enjoy the next few weeks.

does ANYONE in chicago play it straight? now the superintendent of chicago public schools BARBARA BYRD-BENNETT is getting heat from the feds for a no bid contract for twenty million dollars.  how much heat? enough to force her into a six month leave of absence. sounds like imprisoned ROD BLAGOJEVICH might be getting company.  good thing this happened a week AFTER the election of RAHM EMMANUEL or his opponent CHUY GARCIA might be sitting on the fifth floor of city hall.

speaking of the election, emmanuel spent nearly TWENTY-THREE MILLION DOLLARS to get re-elected. wow. that's a lot to spend for a job that pays $216,000 annually.

new governor BRUCE RAUNER isn't very popular these days but he's keeping his pre-election promises of drastic budget cuts in order to get illinois out of the red.

THE ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS is, without a doubt, the BEST awards show on tv. the the show deals with just one genre of music so if you like country music, this is the show for you. ALL of the top stars in the industry take the stage to perform and the 3 1/2 hours move by quickly. don't like country music? then watch reruns because nobody will go head to head with the ACM's.

it was sad to see RANDY TRAVIS. he suffered a terrible stroke two years ago which has left him unable to speak and only able to walk short distances with a cane. he was brought into the stadium in a wheel chair and was barely able to stand when introduced.

UNFORTUNATELY, no awards show is perfect and there were a couple of appearances that amplified that fact. i hereby nominate KELLY CLARKSON for numerous awards:


FAT & STUPID
FAT & DRUNK
FAT & OBNOXIOUS
CLASSLESS

this fat pig takes the microphone wearing something that resembles a tent to introduce REBA MCINTYRE (her mother in law) for a special award and after stumbling her way thru the introduction (she started the intro three times, giggling harder each time) she told the audience that she was a member of reba's family and if they weren't, they could all "suck it." verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry classy.

and before you start banging on your keyboard because clarkson 'just' had a baby, let's get something straight.  she had her baby a year ago and with her money, she has access to the best trainers and dieticians IF she wants to lose weight. she CHOOSES to weigh two hundred pounds. oink oink.

fashion hint to MIRANDA LAMBERT: when you have a large butt, DON'T wear white pants because it makes you look two ax handles wide. what the hell were you thinking?

and my final thought on the show: i have no idea who invited him to a country music show but will someone please tell STEVEN TYLER to just go away?  he's 66 years old and still dresses like a blind man. steven, your time has passed. now just go lay down on the couch.

ok, i'm done.
