And as for the Carrie review I’ve seen two of her concerts, and of course she follows a set list as does all artist or else it would be chaotic for the band, but she has said it many time’s before she doesn’t ever write a script for any show she just speaks and that would be why crazy funny things come out of her mouth sometimes, there is no script not like other artist (TS) who openly admitted in an interview last week that she writes out what she will say to the audience.

Country singer Carrie Underwood may seem like America’s sweetheart, but just make sure you don’t ask her who she is voting for in this year’s presidential election.

“There is someone I do support, but I don’t support publicly,” gossip Web site Just Jared quotes Underwood as telling TV Guide.

“I lose all respect for celebrities when they back a candidate,” she said. “It’s saying that the American public isn’t smart enough to make their own decisions.”

The American Idol alum added that she would never want “anybody to vote for anything or anybody just because I told them to.”

Those may sound like harsh words, but Underwood thinks that musicians should stick to getting people away from “all the BS.”

“Whether it’s from politics or just the world around you, music should be an escape,” she said

Jim, Congrats!!!

And 9513 Country Music Awards? Bring it on! I’m excited!!!

And of course, many congrats to Jim. I’m very interested to see what’s in store!

Dr. No, it’s because Dale Watson is country incarnate and makes no apologies to anyone for being too country!!! Naw, I think everyone recognizes Watson for what he is and just has fun perpetuating the myth. Seriously though, one of the most boring voices you’ve heard? That sounds like a bit much.

Good to see a BSoJC fan around here, Sam G. Brody and I caught Mark Stuart and Lars Albrecht at SXSW this year for an acoustic performance and it was pretty sweet. Thanks for highlighting the interview, CMW.

Thanks for sticking with us, Lanibug. We appreciate it.

Thanks for the kind words, Frank. You should comment more often, even to if it’s just to say thanks or tell us we’re stupid.

So women at the Nashville Star concert were showering Gabe Garcia with underwear! I never saw Gabe as the Tom Jones / Englebert Humperdink type. Maybe they just forgot to mention it was mostly support hosiery….

So Blake Shelton says “the inclusion of several romantic songs are a result of him choosing material that puts more emphasis on his vocals.” And here I was expecting him to give credit to Miranda….

Matt C. contributed nice articles here at The 9513 and I will miss his writing.

Sorry to hear that Matt’s signing off. I’ve always enjoyed his posts.

As The 9513 continues on its path toward world domination, folks might be interested in taking a look back at its rise to fame using the time machine that is the Internet Archive.
