Save a horse ride a cowboy

For those of you who don't know, last night was an epic night in prime time television. The 42nd annual CMA's (Country Music Awards) were on. Why is this night so incredible?

Cowboys.

I have a soft spot in my heart for these simple, strong, corny and sexy men. Perhaps it is because I grew up in the great Midwest - or perhaps it is just because they are THAT wonderful. Every year as I watch the CMA's or AMA's my country accent comes out and I feel warm and gooey all over. There's something about country music that makes you feel connected, American, and thankful for your life - cause it could ALWAYS get worse. For example:







And now...here is a taste of some of the hotness from last night:

Brooks and Dunn














Brad Paisley









Jake Owen























Keith Urban























Trace Atkins












Alan Jackson






















Kenny Chesney






















George Straight



















Tim McGraw (did I mention I am married to him? long story)












Now...I realize that I just put Tim in here twice (and he wasn't even at the awards show) - but he's just THAT great.












Kid Rock (this is for you, Robin)













And I had to throw in Reba McEntire because she is amazing and I have a she-crush on her









Anybody? Any country fans?

HA!! That was the funniest post you have ever written...

Umm.... Wait.... You did mean all that ironically, didn't you?

My country knowledge is limited, but I like:

1. Kenny Chesney, "I Go Back"
That song is as American as they come!

2. Ryan Adams/Tim McGraw, "When the Stars Go Blue"

And a handful of other songs by Whiskeytown.

I am more a Bluegrass guy than country. That being said, you still have good taste in music.

Well, now it's my turn to be jealous. I don't get channels right now so I'll have to watch it in snippets on youtube. :)

Besides the lure of a cowboy serenading you on a porch in the middle of the mountains, there's nothing like watching handsome bull-riding cowboys kick ass in chaps.

You know it's true.

assless chaps
