Brooks & Dunn respond to Obama Campaign's song use
Country music star Kix Brooks of Brooks & Dunn responds to the Obama Campaign’s use of their hit song “Only In America” last night following Barack Obama’s acceptance of the Democratic nomination for President.
In response to the Democratic Convention’s use last night of Brooks & Dunn’s song, “Only in America,” the duo’s Kix Brooks offered the following statement
“Seems ironic that the same song Bush used at The Republican Convention last election would be used by Obama and the Democrats now. Very flattering to know our song crossed parties and potentially inspires all Americans.”

Trace Adkins is going back to Persian Gulf to visit troops
Trace Adkins is taking a weeklong trip to visit US troops.
He’s going to perform, visit bases, sign autographs, pose for pictures and, of course, talk about whether Donald Trump’s hair is real.
OK, maybe not that last part.
Trace has always spent lots of time with soldiers during his career, and you might remember he had that song in 2005 called Arlington, a tribute to the fallen.
I do love the idea that soldiers overseas soon will be hearing Honky Tonk Badonkadonk.
Let freedom ring, baby!
