#250 - Charlie Worsham on Changing His Home State Flag + Bobby and Kurt Bardella on Country Music + Racial Injustice + Super Easy Trivia Game Show with Dustin Lynch

00:00:02
Speaker 1: Welcome to Bobby cast to fifty fifty episodes. Only crap made it every time we had one of these little milestones. Pretty cool. We'll talk to Charlie Warsham, who just saw again a couple of weeks ago at the Grand ol Opry, said some real beautiful words love him as an artist and a friend, and he's trying to get to a certain flag changed, which I think is interesting. Later at the very end of this podcast too, I'm gonna put in the audio from Super Easy Trivia, and by I'm going to, I mean Mike did. But it's the it's the episode, and we'll see how it translates. We'll put it at the very end because if you don't want to hear it, you don't have to. The weird thing is a couple of the question. The categories are picture categories, so I'm gonna limit that for now on. But Dustin Lynch and Chuck Wicks are the guests, and we we shot this before all the protests happened. I didn't feel it was appropriate to put it up in the middle of all the protests. Instagram stories and and and pictures, and you know, I was posting a few things as well, so I just didn't feel it to fit the vibe. But Chuck Wicks and it is talking about I have some news. We'll talk about it soon. That news ended up being that they're having a baby and they did some fertility treatment, and I think it was he was having issues. He's addressed that. So when he says he has some news, the news is already out there. We just taped us like a month ago. But let's get to the music news this week. So Huey, who you may not know as just the name Huey, but you'll know this song right here. Maybe you will. I remember it two thousand and six. He died at thirty one years old. So this morning I sent over to Mike and said, hey, we should abably mentioned this hip hop musician Huey, famous for the song pop Lock and Drop It, has died at age thirty one. He was killed in a shooting in St. Louis. Wow Police say their investigation found another person had also been injured during the shooting. That person is expected to recover. Pop Lock and Drop It peaked number six on the Hot one hundred. A remix featuring Bow Wow and Tea Pain was also released. Big hit for him. I remember sometimes they'd still play it like the electric Cowboys of of today because it was like a hip hop hit that crossed over, so even country fans felt comfortable dancing to its. So, yeah, that's a good song. It's a fun song back in the day. Yeah, rest in peace, Huey. The Dixie Chicks especially named the changed their name the Chicks. And you'll hear Kurt Bartella coming up in a little bit talking about the Lady a story. And when I taped that with Kurt, it was pre Dixie Chicks changing their name to Chicks. And so the Dixie Chicks have officially changed their name to the Chicks. The group had long unofficially been referred to as the Chicks by many fans. I never heard that. I know that was part of the story, but never in my life to hear anyone talk about the Chicks. If they did to my girls. I saw a funny tweet it was like, two thousand nineteen Chicks is not acceptable, two thousand twenty Dixie is not a sceptible. So they said, we want to meet this moment, hey, and good for them. If they feel like they need to do this, good for them. And I tell you. Some people were like, well, what's the deal with removing Dixie. It's just a part of the country. So I looked up the history of Dixie and it actually is tied directly to the Confederacy. Like it's we don't call a part of America Dixie now, but it's those states and what they were called during the Confederacy. If you google, Mike and just read me the first block there, because I'll make sure I'm right, Just google history of Dixie and it'll bring up, you know, kind of a summary of what Dixie is. And listen, I grew up in Arkansas, right, and I never knew that Dixie was really associated with Confederacy. I just, you know, I knew all the songs, but apparently a lot of those songs that I knew the Confederacy would sing as they marched in the Civil War. Are you the trouble's Internet? We have a new Internet putting over here something struggling. I'm not even connected to the Internet. What does it say says Dixie the southern U s States, especially those that belong to the Confederate State to the America. So it has a direct connotation to the Civil War and the South. You know, a major part of their initiative was slavery. And so if the Dixie Chicks want to drop it and they feel like to them that they don't want maybe they were just educated on it. I don't know what they know and don't know, So I applaud anyone for trying to make a change for the positive, even if it feels weird and clunky. And because it is gonna be weird to call him the chicks, Honna it is, it's gonna be weird. And I'll struggle with that one because I've never called him the chicks. Where Lady A was always lady A to me because I was just lazy. I just kind of get tired, I'd go, and you know, my mouth just gets tired. So you know, I commend to them. They definitely could have just laid low and let it pass, but they didn't. Is it weird? Does it feel clunky? Yes? Am I always a little proud, a little moved, a little inspired by somebody who just tries to do the right thing, even if they know it's a bit uncomfortable. Yeah, of course, I think we should all strive to do that. So what do you think about that. I also think it's gonna be weird to call them just the chicks, like I can't even just say the chicks or chicks like I feel like you're not going to associate that with their music. And if you call them the d Chicks and the how do you feel about them changing their name? Yeah, it's just I'm not acting like, hey, two thumbs up and everything's gonna be great. It's weird, but at least shows they're trying. My only point to argue with people who are yelling at them is it doesn't affect you. You probably weren't even talking about the Dickon Chicks in the last thirty days. And why about somebody's balls who's trying to at least move a direction they feel better at. If they feel like it's not right, they can always change your name back. So not my life. So when people in their lives try to go okay, I want to try to. I just see all the Facebook comment isn't get irritated. So yes, it's gonna be weird, very weird, and I probably won't do it right. I'll probably call them Dixie Chicks forever, not forever, but for a long time. So do they like make it a point to correct people when they call him Dixie Chicks. I don't know. Yeah, I think it's so new. I don't know. Um here are We usually do top five songs that I am kind of excited about, or records I'm excited about for the week. Um, so the Dick the Chicks. Well, then when I try to stop like the Dick Chicks, the Dicks, the Chicks put out another new song. I'm gonna put this in number six. This one's called March March. I can get down with this vibe. This is my kind of vibe. Here, dark female vocals, a little scream of fiddle in the background. Hey, that's pretty cool. I like it. Yeah, me too. That's the new from the You know what I think I should do on the show and just play it and not tell people who it is. Oh yeah, because if you just say Dixie Chicks even just bear with me, because I'm gonna struggle calling them the chicks, and I probably won't this podcast. I'm gonna get better in life if I just said, hey, I'm gonna play some Dixie Chicks. People get mad anyway from what they said fifteen years ago. You know, um and now add this to it, you're gonna have different little percentages feel certain ways about it. I think if I just played that song and said, hey, what do you think about this? No matter who the artist is, I think people would dig it. I like that. Here we go Top five and number five. This week, Eric Church put out a new song called stick that in your Country song. You're sad your hands baby girl, and You'll never see stick gad in your country song. The weird thing is Eric Church didn't write this, which I thought was really wild. You made Google and fact check me on that because I don't want to get ten thousand emails. I think I'm right on that. But yeah, Church didn't write this, and you know, I thought when it would stick down your country song, he was gonna be a little more demanding, uh justice, social justice, fight for inequality. It's still good and you know Church can do this, but I don't think he wrote this song. Definitely feels like an Eric Church first single though, where he doesn't care if it's a radio song. I love the song though, like it's catchiest crap. So it's one of my top five favorite releases this week. I think I was expecting a little bit more and like here he comes cannonball in the water. I everybody, but I think people are doing pretty good at putting a lot of that stuff in country songs now. And then he went away and camped for a long time in North Carolina and said, you know, they wrote all these songs, so I thought that was probably one of them. He wrote any luck. Yeah, I've written my two different guys, Jeffrey Steele and Davis Yeah, not Church. I really liked the song. So whenever you quote me in your blog articles out there, I really liked the song. I think it's uh cool message. I think it will inspire other artists to look at other things to write about. I think I just have unfair expectations of Eric Church. I like your Church, and I think he's one of the few people to kind of, you know, shake up, chake up the bush um. I think I expected a little more bush shaking though. That's number five at number four, So Lauren Alena has a song called getting Good, but it has been out for a little bit, but now is to do it with. Tricia Getter would really like this. Here you go plan. Maybe that's when love start good. That's Tricia. That's Lauren. The song has been out. I like she put Tricia on it. Think it's pretty co well. I don't know if they're still trying a radio with that. I don't know if it died or not. I think it's it's still up there. And I look at radio songs anymore, never look at a chart. I just we I mean, honestly, we just kind of do our own thing. For the most part. We played a few songs, were supposed to play a few songs in the morning. Occasionally we'll spike something we want. But now I'm just in so many shows cut up? Are are so many stations cut up our shows in different ways, nighttime shows, countdown shows, international shows, morning shows. I just kind of hope to do good content that our listeners like and agree or disagree with. But you know, our our compelled by and that's it. I play what I love. But yeah, I don't look at the charts at all. So that's number four at number three. Ryan Heard has a new EP. You know I love Ryan Heard. So every Other Memory is the whole name of the project. And here is his version of Sunrise Sunburned Sunset, which he wrote for Luke Brian Say exap Gene, little Back Sunny who knew it was about to be so un Doesn't it sound like when he does it, it's a little more beachy and a little more of a love song. Yeah, it's just the styles of their voices. And when Luke thinks that, it's more like a party song, like let's go get some burn and party the f out. You know. But I love them both. They just sound different, same words, different voice. So check out Ryan Herd's new EP called Every of the Memory Uh at number two. I'm going to put Brett Eldredge. He has a new song out called Sunday Driven Wasting Time. It's my vibe too. I love piano and slow. I got so much music this week, never said we. The interesting thing about this song, I'm almost positive, is that the Brett writes most of his stuff. I think he found this song years and years and years and years ago when he's working in the tape room at Warner. Maybe he was working in a room like a mail room and he was taking songs and taking him to tape and making them digital. And I believe he found this song. Then it was like, if you ever get the chance to record it, I'm gonna cut it. Isn't that cool about world? Always check his instagram if you don't mind what I'm talking about. The next one, I think that he may have put that up there too. It's like to make sure I'm right on this stuff. Number one and it's just a whole album, just a lover her, lover her music, love her spirit to Neil Towns. The Lemonade Stand is her her album. Now. This is the first song on the record called holding Out for the One. It's a little fasty and anthemic for my tennial Towns that I like the most, but most people like songs with some sort of rhythm and beat. I'm just the weird and likes all the sad stuff. But here you go. Here is holding Out for the One. Holding I just love everything about her and I think a lot of it too. As we toured together for a long time and she opened for me. One of the best and worst decisions I made ever as an opener, because she would come out and she's so good. And it wasn't that she was so good because I would do comedy, she would do music, but she would basically make everybody the audience cried because their songs are so sad and touching, and I'd have to go out and me people will laugh, and a lot of people have got to get get him, Like Walker Hayes is a great opening for me because he get a be a good mood ready to go by to Nil would just shut him down, cry until their their their shirts were wet, and I'd have to go out and like pull them from the hole. But she's so good. Um, that's that's that's number one. Huh. Check out to Niels the Lemonade stand. What is it? He says it was transferring CDs into MP three's in a basement tape room at Universal. Pretty cool. Huh, that's awesome and he found that song. Yeah, I I uh, let's see it's some others notables. Landy Wilson has a new song out called Sunday Best Runaway. June put out a new version of We Were Rich. This is a fantastic song. It's not a new song, but the version is new because Natalie Stovall, who we have on a previous episode is singing on it and playing fiddle on it. Just a jam anyway. Bailey Brian has a song called Play with Me and Russell Dickerson has a song called Home Sweet, so check that out. As far as albums go, ray La Montaigne has a mono vision him has Women in Music Part three, which is a really great review for that. I started listening to it's pretty good. I like him. I do too, I'm not I'm never quite sure I'm saying their name right. It is him? Yeah, yeah, you know. I was introduced to them because Taylor Swift was a hind fan back in the day. I guess. I think that's when I first heard of the man. But yeah, good Will Hoag tiny little movies. I like, well, I'm gonna listen to this record. Um. And then Andy Rally Ritchie who you may know as the British actor Jacob Anderson who played gray Worm on Game of Thrones. Too many names, but I do know him from gray Worm. Uh yeah, there we go. That's that's the music. That's what's up. There's a lot happening, man, and then you're gonna hear a lot in this. This may be a long one. Huh yeah, pretty long, All said and done. Kurt Bardela first charge Worsham than Super Easy Trivia for the first time in weeks I'm ready to listen to new music between Brett to Neil will Hog. You know whose music I was checking out this kind of we should maybe have on is to do a little interview with Is that Nick Wayne? Yeah? I think you put out a new song to day too. Oh another new song? I know he put out an EP I think recently song on the list, and maybe it's just part of that EP. But he has this song about calling his wife and he's part of that. And if the world was in the new bill over ay, here's an EP called American Originals, which is I guess just three songs. He's got a funny little song called hang on My Wife's Calling, which the first time he's like in the middle of a song, like, hey, what Wi's calling? Maybe we get them off for a few minutes. Next episode. I think today he put out one call I Love You More? Really let me see by this, Nick Wayne did oh yeah, there we get let's well, um, let's see weird.

I saw that you said, what's the best road trip movie? I don't watch movies while driving, no movies about taking road trips. I guess road trip makes is number one. It's up there. It's a good one I've seen a long time. It's funny. Yeah, all right, enjoy thanks guys, appreciate you. Rate us highly if you don't mind, and uh, we'll see you soon. Hey, Johnny oh Man, it's living that life. Excided to talk with you. Yeah, I'm started to talking with you too. I you know, we saw each other at a distance from the Opery and you know you've played the Opery a bunch of times. How weird is it to play to an empty house? It's well, if you've been to some of my solo shows the last few years, that I got used to it. I'm kidding, um, you know, you know it's, uh, it is strange, but it's one of those rooms that's got a sacredness to it, and so it's it's kind of like being in a church by yourself, which is in a way comforting but also strange at the same time. Is the day July significant in your mind at all? Yes, that was the first time I stood in the opery circle. Yeah, as a kid. That was thanks to Mike Snyder, who's a beloved Opery member and uh, you know you you kind of share in his legacy, uh in that he not only does he play music, but he's all areas comedian, And it was thanks to him that I got to stand on that stage for the first time. You were twelve years old. Huh what was that? Did you drive up from Mississippi and you know, stay there? Like? What is the kid when you play the opera for the first time? What's that whole experience? Like? You know, uh, gosh, it was. It was my first taste of applause and attention at that level. But it also was this thing that had been a part of our family for so long. I had a great grandfather. We actually have a piece of furniture in our house here in Nashville that he built with wood from his sawmill. Uh, specifically to hold the radio and keep the cover off this old timey radio and the tools handy so he could tweet the signal and get the opera. He was such a fan. And uh, I didn't go up to Nashville alone. About half my my day hometown came up with me. We all stayed at the Marriott out there by the airport, and I don't know if it still has it, but it had an indoor outdoor pool and that was also a big like first city experience in an indoor outdoor pool, you know, might as well have been Disney World. Yeah. I remember the first time at church camp we went to like a Hilton with an indoor pool, and I thought, wow, this is like TV, Like this is like the rich people on TV, because there was a pool underneath the roof. Right, it's very Beverly hillbilly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, a couple of things, A couple of reason I wanted to have you on, specifically as I saw you posting about the Mississippi flag, which I thought was interesting. Talk a little bit about what your goal is with that message. Absolutely, you know, my my goal is uh oh man, it's it's emotional for me. You see, my dad in the in the middle of eight sixties. I mean, he grew up. Uh in the middle of that and Grenada. My hometown was one of the cities. Dr Martin Luther King marsh through my hometown actually with John Bayad. There are pictures of them and the sidewalk they're marching down, Uh is the sidewalk outside of the old high school. And when my dad was a junior in high school, they integrated schools there and when let out that first day, there was a crowd of people waiting to beat the black students and uh, they were pressed representative of the press there. They were police there and they took the camera from the press people. They smashed the camera on the ground they beat. My dad is one this one black kid that got a broken leg from how badly he was hurt and had the limp a mile home and the police didn't do And this is not a police statement to today. I'm just saying that the climate at the time was the police stood there and let it happen. Nobody stood up for the black students, and the black students were simply trying to get the same education and and the school they had been relegated to to if the school my mom actually taught in in her career as a teacher, and it's it was dilapidated. There was nothing in there, uh that was decent enough to get a decent education. And and the thing about the Mississippi flag is the people who are beating those students were waiting that flag. And I'm the great great grandson of a Confederate soldier. I could take you to his headstone. It's a C. S. A headstone. I could show you the letters he wrote from the battlefield. I think he actually spent time in the war here in Tennessee. Uh. But he hated the war. I mean, he hated everything about war and about that conflict. And he wasn't a wealthy man. He was a poor man. And we had this history of poor people fighting rich people's worst sometimes and um. And so the thing about that flag is, you know, one if anybody should be complaining to keep it would be the great great great grandson of Confederate soldier. But from his letters all the way to my dad's experience in high school, to the fact that, uh, I really want to be I am proud of my home state. There's so much in my home state to be proud of. Uh. And you know, I've got friends from Texas and they weighed that flag so proudly, and I want to be able to do the same thing. I want to be able to invite my friends to Mississippi and for those of them who aren't uh well for really all of them, but especially those of them who aren't white. Uh, that flag is a is a scary thing. And so whatever reasons for them might have to keep it, to me, it just doesn't outweigh the fact that it really has been a symbol of hate for a long time and is it really that big of an inconvenience to let it go. We have a Centis flag. It's called the Cennis Flag. I forget the lady's name, but that's her last name. She studied she's an artist and studied flag design and designed this beautiful flag for Mississippi. And her grandfather was a senator from Asissippi who was a segregationist. So woven into that flag is this story of evolving and changing. And uh, I think that, uh, you know, it's starting to show that. I think I think we've got a chance here to at the moment is now, to really make the change. So have you heard anything about any sort of movement with because the flag. Again. If you if you look at a flag in a normal flag shape, the you'll say the quarter the top left corner is the Confederate flag and the rest is I'm color blind here, but blue, white, and red. Right, I'm assuming that's Blair. Okay. So have you heard anything about any any sort of movement with this move I mean, yeah, movement with this movement? Yes, uh, the uh. I'm terrible remembering sports things, but I think SEC football. Don't quote me on this, No, you're right, you're right, SEC, the n C double A even I think the Mississippi Baptist Convention, which is that one, really shocked people. It. All these Mississippi organizations, all the community college and colleges of Mississippi, they've all put out statements in solidarity for changing the flag. And my dad today, uh, he's kind of semi retired and his job is to work for tourism in my hometown. And you know, he talks with all the folks who look at data and stuff, and there's a case to be made that Mississippi just simply in a financial sense, you know, take away the emotions and the moral reasons to change it. Financially speaking, Mississippi loses on a lot of business because of that top left hand corner of their flag. And if people want to read more about this, I know you posted a link in your Instagram. Where can they go or where can they sign? Or is it? How do people actually help? Because you know, we had a pretty good audience gonna hear this, absolutely, dude, and I appreciate you given voice to this. Uh, I would check out the Sinnis Flags website. Uh, let me look it up real quick, look at up, look at While you look it up, I'll play a clip of Uh. Let's let's doll. We'll start it this first song? Could it be back in two thousand thirteen, peaked at number third? Here you go, why you look it up? Let me know when you got to Charlie, we're just giving you some whole music here of yourself. Okay, okay, let us know. We got it. You want a guy hold music with his own music. Now that's a new one. All right, go ahead, Charlie, I got it. It's declare Mississippi, which is d E C L A R E like you're going to declare something. And then Mississippi, which hopefully everybody knows the song am I S S wait am I SSI S S p p I. There's a song declare Mississippi dot com and just check it out. That's a great used to start. I love that you're so passionate about it, you know, and you know you're from missipianpo Market, So a lot of similarities in the two and especially with you know, our upbringings and the small towns we come from, and when you use So you moved to Boston to go to Berkeley College of Music in Boston, what was it like being a Mississippi kid going to Boston? Because I get to go there now on tour. But I'm an adult and I'm a little more well traveled. But as a kid, I would have been like fish out of water completely for sure. You know, I'm lucky. My mom raised me with a great uh, a whole bunch of travel experiences. She believes in travel is education. How do I and so I had a little experience being out of my little Mississippi pond, you know, fish out of water or whatever. But the thing about Boston and Berkeley in particular was the incredibly beautiful culture. Shock of it. I was in this city with so much American history. It had its own little Italy. I could go shop at the Italian market it uh, it had tall all things. The tallest building in Grenado was a four story hospital and uh and and best of all, the student body at Berkeley is one of the most international and diverse student bodies, UH you'll find in the country. And there was something really beautiful about that because I connected with people from all over the world through music and learned about South American music and African music and UH, people from Asia, people from just all over the planet, and we had a chance to connect on something we all loved that sort of felt like a universal language. This is one of the best things I could have done. You know, it's Boston such an interesting place. You bring up a lot of points about and the school, but also just that city. It is so multicultural and like an extremely h inclusive, multi cultural place. So yeah, I was thinking about what I was gonna talk to you about it because we grew up a bit similar. You're far more talented than I am, and and you're you're you're better at as a kid, You're doing crazy things. I was just lucky not to be the bed when I was like nine you're getting close to playing the opree. But you know, we played on on the radio show. We played black and White, which is a song you and Vince wrote for his album, because you played it at the Opery. And when you played it, I was like, I don't know this song. And I know every Charlie Warson song. Some people will call me a Charlie Wassham stand someone call me a Charlie Worsham stalker. Whatever it is. I'm proud of that. I'm okay with that. But you played this song and I thought, I don't know this, like what did I miss? But I looked it up. It was a Vents song. I came in and we played it on the show. Got a great reaction. My question is when you write this with Vince, do you go all right? Who gets it? Or did you write it four events? You know? The really cool thing about that day riding with him? Uh. I have this question. I learned to ask myself when I'm I'm not sure of direction, and it's simply how's your heart? Because you know, if you ask somebody how you're doing, they're always gonna be like, oh, I'm fine. They might be going through a divorce and Lord knows foot all else, but that's just our programmed respond and you don't really get into the heart of things. And uh, it must have been a really rough news day or something. And and Then's just such a thoughtful and compassionate guy. And so I think I just sat down and asking, man, how's your heart? And he just talked about he had that phrase, Man, I've just been thinking about black and white. And I think for him, someone who lived through the cities like my dad did, he saw firsthand, uh, the hate, but also the ability for a whole lot of people to come together and in unity and work for positive change. And I think we have this, uh, this tendency to think that things were better back when. And I think the reason for that is it's life is always a struggle. Being being in a country and a community and society is always going to be a struggle ups and down. But over time the really nasty parts sort of fade away and we remember and hold up the beautiful things. And so that's that's part of what nostalgia is, I think. And so I think for Vent, he just was asking himself that question, are we what direction are we headed in? There's a great old Merl haggardson that I think must have been inspiring in as well. Are the good times really over? For good? And that day for me, it was really about following Vince's lead and just trying to help document it as it as it happened. And it just felt like a Vince song from from the minute it's it's spilled onto the page and so it was never a thing where we felt like fighting over it. Uh and and lo and behold his record that that song is on OKI is chock full of songs just like that. It's I think it's where Vince's part and head of Vince, I was just we lose them all them back all right. By the way, we're all Charlie Worsham, who you know because you're probably read in the podcast thing there. You can follow him on Instagram at Charlie Worsham. The guy is just one of the most sincere guys. As you can hear he started crying. He didn't know he was gonna ask about that. Also, just one of the most talented musicians period in Nashville, and everybody says it, and the session players are usually the the guys that play music on albums are kind of the elite, but even they kind of tipped their hat to Charlie Worsham. So just know that he planned banjo um when he was just a kid. Junior National Banjo Championship. There's a whole long form about his career at earlier bobbycast. If you like him, go check that out. We're gonna try to get it back on right now, Mike is talking with them. You can also check out Amy's podcast, Four Things with Amy Brown. All Right, we're gonna put it back on. As you can tell, we're not editing this at all. All right, he's back here, is there? All right? There? Hey, Charlie. So there never was that moment where you had to declare whose song it was? There was I know that happens a lot when you artists right together, but for whatever reason, it just felt like it belonged to him, and uh, I was totally cool with you you. Matt. I'm gonna ask you a question that I was asked a lot a couple of years ago. Now I kind of lead this question, but do you ever think about going back home and running for any sort of office to actually make a change, or do you feel like your music is your platform and that's how you're going to do it. Well. First, let me say Bobby that I loved that. That is something that you are keeping your ear to the ground on. And I will support you all the way because I just believe in in who you are and your integrity character. I think for me, it's too early to know. And and honestly, I don't know that i'd want that job. I feel like the people who do those jobs the best don't do them because they really want the job. You know, I don't know that I trust anybody that wants It's not an easy job if you're doing it right what I'm trying to say, and I definitely listen. I don't need to be in politics one bit, Like I would actually make a lot less money and have a lot more work if I did it, um so, and anybody that wants to be a career politician like not the kind of person that I would want representing me. It's exactly what you just said. So I don't want to be a politician. I would actually love to be able to affect just a bit of change. Because no one person goes in and changes the whole system, right, I mean, it's culture is changed through a slow rock being pushed over a lot of time. I would like to have my shot at shoving that big old boulder for a few minutes. Like That's how I look at it, absolutely absolutely, And I think for me, I'm I'm open to anything. I don't see it at the moment, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't the moment called for it, because I'm with you. And the beautiful thing being that there are so many ways to create change to you know, just simply voting is such a powerful thing. And I would be so excited to see America's percentage of voters who exercised there there opportunity to vote go up. That would make me so happy. And and registering voters, especially uh in my home state, and and and right across the river in Arkansas, you saw a lot of this two in the sixties. Uh, the power of registering people to vote. And barely fifty years ago that cost people their lives when you talk about Mega Evers and Uh Mickey Scherner, Cheney and Goodman, the three civil rights workers in Philadelphia, Mississippi. Uh, there was a guy named Vernon Damer. His house was firebombed by the KKK because he was trying to register voters, and the vote is a powerful thing. A lot of people with sacrifice for that right. I'm gonna plug a couple of Charlie things because I think if you're not on it Charlie yet, you should be. YouTube dot Com slash Charlie Worsham. He's doing a whole series. You're performing on your bathroom floor your bathroom? Is it just sound better and they're singing on the toilet or what? Well? The funny thing is so much to the house was taken over with music equipment that I felt like the guest bathroom was a safe place in quarantine, that nobody else would need that room for any other purpose, so I could leave everything set up. And that's sort of the accident that became Live from the lou He's a part of the c m A Summer stayk on Wednesday, July one at six five Central. You can tune into seem A's YouTube and Facebook if you want to check that out. Here is Charlie's latest single, I Hope I'm stoned. When Jesus takes me home, and Jesus takes me home, Fly through them clouds, don't have to ever come down. I'm ruling up just to kiss to day and Jesus takes me home. Let me ask you this, are you gonna cut your hair? Is this the new thing you're just gonna be? You know? Long haired, Charlie, now, long hair for the foreseeable future. I'm sort of embracing it. Yeah, let's good on you. Wish I could pull it off. I would just not mind gets curly though. It looks like I get a perm when I grow my hair out. Charlie, yours looks good, long, well, well, thank you. I don't know how long I'll be able to keep it, so I'm gonna embrace it. I can check out his Instagram at Charlie Worsham. Charlie, good to talk to you, my friend. You know, if you ever need anything personal or professional, just I'm a phone call away or or a letter away. You like to write letters, so or a letter away just may take a little longer for me to get back to you if you write a letter. Alright, so much, all right, Charlie, there is Charlie Warsham. Thanks Charlie. See Bud see man right on now with Kurt Bardella, Hey, Kurt, Hey, Bobby, how's it going? Hey, pretty good. I was. I wanted to reach out to you because I read your article in USA Today. That's a really interesting article. By the way, how did you get to write in USA to Day? Like? Who do you know? How did you work your way up to that slot? So I have this completely dual life where one end of me is to country music side of me, and the other is I'm a political commentator and I write through USA Today generally political facing columns about things going on in the country. And it just so happens that everything kind of came together and both my world's merged and um my editor had seen me talk about the Lady A thing on on the news and thought there was more there to write, and I asked if I wanted to depend something about it, knowing my my interest in background and country music, and I was very happy to have that opportunity. Well, let's talk about Lady A for a second, because you definitely talked about that in this article. Just give me your thoughts on what used to be Lady Annabellum rebranding themselves officially as Lady A. I thought that it was a very brief and courageous and positive step for them to take to go through that self reflection, self evaluation, talking to different people in their own social circle about the meaning of Antebellum and what that says. And I thought what they put out was incredibly sincere and on is taking responsibility for that, not making any excuses, just saying, you know, we're making this change. And if anyone ever felt, uh, you know, upset or hurt or felt distance from our music because of our name, we're sorry and we want to invite you, uh to to to take another look at us uh. And I thought it was an extraordinary thing, especially at the time. And you know this as well as anybody. You know, your your name is your brand. You know, it's who you are, it's your professional identity, especially in entertainment. And to and to make a change like that and do it in a very public facing way, uh is I think an incredible thing and and something that I wish more people would approach the world the way that Lady A did. Be willing to change, being willing to have that self as usman and self reflection, and to to try to be a positive agent for change. Two things that I can speak on a little bit is one, I know that they had wanted to change their name before this for for the same reason. But before this instance of um large scale seeking of social justice, Like, before this happened, they had already, according to my sources, been talking about changing the name, and so it was already on their mind. They didn't. I feel they didn't just see something and make a super snap reaction. I felt like it was something already weighing on them, and it was finally the Hey, we just we've been talking about it, we want to do it, let's just do it, right. So I felt like that happened in that way. The other thing is they could have easily just slowly said we're just gonna go to Lady A, like, don't put it anymore, you know, nothing official, We're just gonna be lady A. But they didn't, and there was a real bravery attached to bravery in the sense of you're talking about brand, right, it's not like going to fight in war, so don't hit me with those. But there's a real bravery for their everyday life to go and post that publicly and say why they were doing it when they did it, What do you think about that? I think you're right. I do think that just the way in which they were able to talk about it. So I think articulately and sincerely that told me that this wasn't a snap judgment, a reaction solely the current events. I think there was a lot of thought. Clearly they have been thinking and talking about this long before, uh, the incidents of the past few weeks. Just by the tone intendor that they took, that's not something you can put together in twenty four hours and just put out to the world, um, you know, but the fact that they were willing to do so publicly, the fact that the recent events was a catalyst for them to pull the trigger on this, UM. I thought spoke volumes about their their character and anybody who spent time with them, uh, you know, with Dave Charlton, Hillary will tell you they're the most genuine and sincere and kind people that you will ever come across. There is not a bone of hate in their body. And I think that what they did and how they went about doing that, you know, like you said, it would have been so easy to just suddenly make the change, do it over time, wait for things to quiet down politically and in the world, But they did it at the time where all eyes. You know, we're we're going to be on what they were doing where it was going to receive a tremendous amount of attention, not knowing how this would be received, and they were willing to do that anyway. And I think that, like you said that, that you know, that was that That's that's what leadership is, in my opinion. It's not knowing how things are going to go down in the court of public opinion, but doing what you think is right and being true to yourself. Uh. And you know, and I was very proud to be a lady a fan that day. Yeah. And I'm pretty close to a couple of them. Uh, Dave, Hey, what and I are good buds and Hillary and I are pretty close are We sat to both of them privately and spoke with them a bit about that. I thought it was real cool they took that step publicly when they didn't have to um that it was them. Like, and there was a lot of angry, hateful comments about them changing their name. What do you think about that? You know, as someone who oftentimes receives a lot of a lot of hate mail for things that I'll say are right politically. Uh, you know, I think that's all just noise. You know. I think that by and large, if you're a fan of Lady A, if if you connected to songs like Hello World or or Run to You and and the theme messages of those songs, you you will you will be even prouder to be a fan of theirs based on what they have done. You're not going to turn your back on them or their music because their music is all about love and sharing and having a better world. And especially as you've seen you know, Lady A grow as human beings and becoming parents and having families and how that's impacted their outlook on life. Uh. If your lady if that you celebrate what they did. And there's always gonna be haters, uh, which again, you know you've seen as much hate from from trolls throwing match or the course of your career, and that's just I've always thought that's just noise. If you have nothing better to do in your day than to to tweet something or instagram comments something that's negative and toxic, uh, then then you really don't have a whole lot going for you. And there's no reason why I shouldn't even care about what you think. You know, and that's why I reached out to them. It wasn't that I had some grand knowledge of changing a name or fighting did the good cause anymore than I have, you know, in my own personal life. But it was, hey, I do every day I deal with these folks that that they don't really care, but they're just gonna take a little part of their life to try to make a bigger dent into a bigger part of yours. And man, that's what they do, that's what they they come and you know that. The rules that I kind of talked about my listeners. Role one, is it hurting you or someone you know him close to? If not, go to rule too. And then rule two is is it hurting anybody period? If it's no, then freak move on. There. Don't need to write about it. They don't need to be negative. We could just move on with your life. Did you ever watch a bad TV show and then send a note to the to the network going a that show sucks. No, you just change the channel. You just go to the next channel. You just click somewhere else. You don't have to listen to lady As Music. If you don't love it, I'm gonna tell you they didn't lose a single fan. You may have seen people get upset they didn't lose a single fan. They didn't. And then, you know, then there's the whole instance where there was already a woman named Lady A. And this was where it got interesting to me because Lady A the band owned the trademark lady A. So they easily and rightfully could have said, okay, you were called lady A, but we own it, like we own the intellectual name, property rights. We are lady A because years ago we bought it. But they didn't. And I thought that was pretty cool. And you know, I know at first there was some weirdness about it, and they got on a big zoom all because they posted about it. Things seem to be going all right, Uh, how do you feel like that whole thing should shake out? You know? I think that again, always trying to turn every situation into the most positive facing thing. Uh, they can come up with it again, lady It could have easily have just dismissed, Uh this this other this Lady A blues jazz singer in Seattle, And instead they wanted to be I wanted to have a conversation. They wanted to to learn her perspective everything, and I actually think out of this will come potentially some really cool fusion of music from both of them. I think that, again, this is going to be something that started out a little rocky. There's a lot of uncertainty how this would go, and out of that that was gonna come, I think creativity and partnership and community and it's exactly what music is supposed to be, you know. I mean it's again, someone who came from a more political background. What made me a country music fan was that feeling of community and unity and positivity and energy. And you know, the greatest part of my professional life over the last five years have been in the country music space, UM and seeing that firsthand. And I think that nothing unites people better. Uh. You know, then music and song and and and music allows us to express emotions that we don't know how to as individuals in a collective way. That helps us heal, That helps us express um, especially during times like this where there's a lot of division and uncertainty and fear going around. Uh, It's it's so important to have that. And with what Lady A has done with this situation is I think they're finding a way to create something positive that all of us will be able to experience in due time. Let's move off that for a second. Talk about award shows coming up. You're a lover of country music, as M I. The A c M s are coming up to c M as we're talking about the last quarter of the year. I mean, the odds these shows happen with people in the stands are what zero percent? Where do you put it, Kurt? I put it at zero percent. Yeah, it's gonna be tough too. Now, imagine because I and I think that the A c M s have already announced how they're Okay, if I we may have to beleeve this. Maybe I'm saying what I already know. We'll see. Do you know about the A c M is doing it from three different locations? Okay? Perfect? So what's out there? Great? Great? Then I can talk about it. Okay. So there it's going to be from the Opery House, the Ryman, and the Bluebird, and they're going to have three different places where the A c ms are there. Now, let me ask you this. If you're an artist and you're nominated, do you go and sit alone possibly not to win? Uh? An A c M Let's say you're uh Morgan Wallen and he's up for I don't they haven't been announced yet, but he's up for Best New Artists. Yes, whatever, do you go and sit in an empty opery house US with like fourteen other nominees or do you just sit at home and see if you want? You know, I think that in these circumstances, I think everyone has to make the decision that they're most comfortable with for both their own health. Um. You know, this is not an easy time, particularly in a state like Tennessee that's seeing a rise in cases. Um, who knows what the situation will look like when we get to the fall. Uh you know, that will obviously be something they have to take into account. Um you know, but if if I'm an artist, I gotta tell you, award shows seem so trivial right now, facing looking at what we're facing, And I think there's a reason why a lot of other shows, uh you know, Emmy's oscars are are postponing to next year because it just doesn't seem like the right time necessarily to do something like that. Um. I hope that the a c m S and the c m as find a way to to pull us off. That's creative, that's positive. That's less about the actual awards, uh, and more about creating an escape for for for people like us fans, for for people in this country to tune into and UH and experience music together. I loved the A c M special that they did last month, having all these artists you know, film their own performances wherever they were and piecing that together. I thought that was great. Um. You know, but I'll tell you, at the time where no one can go anywhere and going to any show, It's like, how do you award Entertainer of the Year when no one can go out there and entertain? Great pivot question, because that's my next question, Kurt. I've talked about this a little bit. I'm curious because they are going to award these awards, they are going to have these shows. You know. I'm I'm lucky enough to be connected to the networks and the producers of both of them and even leaning in a little bit to health. But they don't know which direction they're going to go. They will have the awards. I'm asking you, Kurt, who wins Entertainer of the Year and why? Well, Uh, you know, I look at, especially during these times. You know, what artists are able to do, um, to be creative, to reach fans, to uh, you know, help us escape what we're going through right now. Um. You know, thinking about the c m AS because those you know, the A, C and nominations were out before this ever happened, and and and the voting for that already closed before we were in the air of social distancing to a certain degree. So you know that's gonna be what it's going to be an estimy based on a lot of what we saw last year. But for the c m AS, where we don't know what the nominations are, I'd like them to try to get innovative a little bit and maybe maybe you have a category for this year that the best live stream or the best uh you know, social distancing show, or something that acknowledges what a lot of these artists are doing. You know. I think about people like Brad Paisley, who has you know, done a number of interesting things, having looms and concerts and beaming into Vanderbilt and he's about to do this drive through Live Nation tour. Um. I think about Keith Urban, who played an outdoor you know, parking Lot show for Vanderbilt. Uh, you know, doctors and nurses. I think there's gotta be a way that that we recognize what artists are doing to try to make a difference and to try to be entertaining during these unique times. But I'm still looking for the Entertainer of the Year. I'm gonna give you my answer. I hope. I think that's interesting. Yes, but man, if they go all MTV movie Awards were like, okay, best kissed during the pandemic, I'll be like, come on, guys, come on, here's a I'm gonna say. I Entertainer of the Year to me is never just a touring award. It's never just a radio award. There's always that about it. You don't you don't care define it, but you're just like, oh, that makes sense. And I think it's again. The person I'm gonna say is a person who already wins it, so them winning it is not a surprise, but what they're doing is different. And I'm gonna go Garth again. The guy just sold out three drive in theaters, you know, I think what and again is doing TV shows from home. He did a Quarantine show Attricia. He played the opery. But then Keith Urban was the first guy to a well and play a drive in for the healthcare workers. I think that's amazing. I think it's things like that with radio success, with the streams. I think all of that So I and I think you're a list is is pretty right on um. But you know, I think it's a Garth or an Urban type person who wins it this year because of the things they were able to do outside the box. I mean Luke Combs, even you know, hasn't played a much shows, but did a bunch of great online stuff. And let's not discredit the fact that he takes unreleased songs just puts out brand new videos of them with a song before he even cuts them, which at this point his music is his currency. You know, he's not a newer artist going, hey, here's some more to see if you think you like me more. He's not putting up demos going hey see, if you like this, maybe you'll become a fan. He's going, I got a lot of fans out of they want music. I can make you wait, but I'm just gonna put this this song called Cold went out or you know six ft Apart, which wasn't going to be a song that was cut, but because people loved it so much, you want to cut it. So anyway. That's that's my opinion on that. I think you always have to look at a kind of the whole three six do you want it comes to Entertainer of the Year, and you're right, there is some some odd angles to look at this year, you know, Yeah, I mean it's gonna again. I don't envy the job that. You know, the people behind these award shows, who produced these things have to try to try to navigate. You know, there's obviously the A. C M s you know, and talking with some people there are trying to navigate how do they properly acknowledge what's going on in this country and and promote UH artists, people of color. You know, it's not an easy egil thre There's always gonna people who are unhappy with whatever you do. There's always gonna be those haters. You want to be entertaining because this is an entertainment show. Do you want to obviously support and acknowledge the artists who have been successful uh, you know in the last year, But you also don't want to look like you're not in tune with the reality that we're all trying to navigate at the same time. So it's it is not easy. Uh and and again I applaud these people who are trying to come out there and put out of product second for two or three hours, help us escape what we're facing right now. Yeah, I just can't take anymore zoom shows as honestly at home shows. And I say that as someone who was a part of one, you know, American Idol. We we were the first network show to go and set up home and do it from home, and that was a struggle. I'm glad we're able to do it. But man, the content that I'm watching, it's all the same. It's just everybody's house. The late night shows, which I love, it harked for me to watch them, They're just from people's house. I'm just like, come on, we gotta And what sucks is it covids about to hit us again hard again, like fullback coming right through the line Corona nineteen. It's gonna be tough man. Well, you know, one of my favorite for this reason live streams that was done was the one that Brad with Lady A did that was backed by bud Light because they basically took over an empty warehouse, built their entire stage like you like they would on tour, and and and played it with full production, full sound, audio, full band. And it was the first time in all of this it actually seeing someone do that, and and and and it looked and felt like a regular show. Brad had his massive video wall backdrop UM. And it was the first time that I heard music the way I normally would versus the live stream and the zoom and the things that we've all become exhaustibly I think overkilled with UM. But you know, it's like that type of innovative was refreshing to see. I agree. And I thinking back to now, as we've been in this for so long, Keith Urban when he did his little warehouse before Brad did that, you know, him and his wife were singing UM. But yes, yes, yes, And that was cool back then, back then, like it was some crazy yester year. It was three months ago. Traffic feels like forever. Hey, So Carl, where are you right now? Right now? I'm in Washington, D C. And what's happenings Capital? Hey, Look, lots of elections happening right right this second. Actually like we're still but this goes up Friday. Second votes are being counted. Still, Yeah, who's gonna who's taken home that? Uh that's on the Senate side in Kentucky. Is it gonna be McGrath who's gonna pull that one out? Yeah, it'll tell you. You know mcgrathon Booker and Charles Booker, who came on strong at the end. Uh has been an incredibly inspiring charismatic figure who has a future in politics regardless of outcome. But I think that he peaked too late. If he had peaked, you know, three weeks before he did, I think he actually would have won. But McGrath had such a head start in fundraising, building an organization to run the campaign name I d I just think that she'll end up pulling it out only because you know, the runway just ran out for for for Booker just wasn't in time. I got a buddy who works on Bookers campaign, Matt Jones. It was radio on Kentucky. So, uh, by the time you hear this, they may already be out. So we'll fact check you. We'll see if you were right. Kurt. Hey, listen, everybody check out morning hangover dot com uh Kurt Is He's also on Twitter ku r t that's the Kurt part No see Ku r T b A r d E l l A. So all right, Kurt, it was good catching up with you. Uh. Check out Kurt's Twitter page. You can see a link to that article we talked about a little bit there, just the guy who knows a lot of abou country music. It's always good to your face when you're around, but you haven't been around in a bit because nobody's really allowed to go around anywhere anymore, you know, I hear you, man, Well, thanks for having me. I gotta tell you, I would not be in country music in any way if it weren't for what you've done. Seeing how you place the trail off for people outside to come on in and try to make a little space for themselves in this format was one of more inspiring things for me, being this outside guy in DC, never worked in country music at all, just a fan and wanted to start just this email tip sheet thing and was shocked that it ever took off. But you were one of the first people to encourage me, to support me, to promote me, uh, you know, and it means the world to me. I appreciate that You're probably a little too kind, but Kurt, thank you, be safe. Talk to you soon, right man, all right, See, you know what's interesting, Mike is that I called it Corona nineteen. In my mind, I was picturing a Corona fullback with the number nineteen on its jersey. Okay, I thought you were bleeding COVID nineteen. Well, I think I was. I think I sometimes the words that come out don't quite fully um represent the picture in my mind. Okay. And so yeah, that's where Corona nineteen comes from. I'm got start calling that, see if everybody calls me out. And I also thought it was like a throwback to twenty nineteen, like if there to come back Corona. Yeah, you know why it's called COVID nineteen, right, just for the record, Yes, because it came out in Okay, Yeah, that's why. Okay, Kurts on the phone, Hey there is again. Alright, Kurt, see you later one bye bye. What's funny is we leave Kurt on and all of a sudden we're like, what a sucky interview, which we wasn't. But they used to having me back on my radio days where we'd uh, I would always say, Okay, we're gonna interview somebody. Whenever we're done with the interview, don't hang up. So one time we were talking to Um Jordan's Night from New Kids on the Block. I remember that was an intern and we talked with the interview. They were doing a tour. It's like yeah, great, and then he said, okay bye. We didn't hang up, and then all of a sudden, you hear him go all right, oh we do another one. Great. And then she's like, okay, we're gonna connect you to Cleveland. Here's Jimmy Joe and Jam Jams or whomever it was. And he goes all right, And so I didn't know what to do. I thought I was gonna hear Cleveland. I never heard Cleveland. So I go, what's up, dude, Jimmy Joe and like, hey man, I did a whole interview as the guy from Cleveland on on our airwaves. Still, um, that's a fun time. I remember the good old day, all right. Thanks to Kurt, Welcome to another round super Freezy tribute up.
