I am very excited to welcome Cassadee Pope to the area this Thursday when we take a cruise on the Hudson with her on the Dutch Apple.

Brothers Osbourne have released the video for their cool new song, "Stay a Little Longer," and it features couples of all makes and models in that weird "in-between" stage of their relationship.  The weird, guessing game stage. The coolest part...

I know I'll be vilified on this website if I utter even one bad adjective about the immensely popular superstar Luke Bryan, so I'm going to be careful about my choice of words here.    And I hope this is taken in the most positive way possible.  Here goes.

Yep, I certainly do.  I just have to put this out there. This won't take long. Get ready, Zac.  I'm about to call you out.
