Welcome to Summer
Summer. Seems like nothings going on but the heat.
I’ve received several press releases this week that I could’ve written about, but they didn’t interest me. I’ve talked to a half dozen artist and had the privilege of getting chewed out 3 times by artists who THINK they’re good enough, but aren’t anywhere close… and ya [...]
Ashlee Hewitt - Nashville Star - Week 6
Before the show starts tonight I wanted to write a little bit of my thoughts on Ashlee Hewitt from last weeks show.

Ashlee Hewitt - Nashville Star - Week 5
Looks like Ashlee Hewitt is headed for the ‘bottom 2′ — the dreaded bottom 2… highly unlikely that she would be the one with the fewest votes… this could be interesting, but also completely for show - cause ya know, Ashlee has been the leader of the show since the beginning and she’s no underdog [...]
