Driving to work this morning, I heard Jason Aldean's "Hicktown" on the radio. Now I've heard this song a zillion and a half times before. But for some reason, today was the first time I've ever noticed that he talks about going "mudding down on Blue Hole Road."
Blue Hole Road is out in my neck of the woods, I drive home on it almost every day. (To be honest, I don't think there's anywhere to go mudding on it.) This part of town is a popular area for singer songwriter wanna-be's to live in when they first come to town, before they get successful and move to Green Hills. (Josh Turner still lived in an apartment on Bell Road when his first album came out! I don't think he's there anymore...) This is the second song I'm aware of that names Blue Hole Road.
The other one is Keith Anderson's "Closest I've Ever Been." I had to tell Keith he'd better not be doing 90 down Blue Hole Road anymore. If you were to mapquest BHR you'd notice there are 2 sections... where it crosses Bell Road. (Cute little miniature golf course on the corner, should you ever need one.) The northern section, with the nice bold line has 2 schools and a church. No one could do 90 through there if they wanted to.
It's the South Side of Blue Hole that those boys are getting into trouble on, I think. And although it's hard to tell on mapquest, that's a pretty curvy windy little dark road without much of a shoulder. That would be the section I'm driving on. You have to keep heading south and take a few more turns into the boondocks to find me. Hey... "Boondocks." That would be a great song title... Tonight I'm taking Blue Hole Road straight to the Boondocks...
Tomorrow I'm working the late shift... it's Sound & Speed night. Montgomery Gentry and a couple of other special guests will be joining Storme on the Music Row Happy Hour (4-8pm ET), and Claire B. Lang will be broadcasting 7-10pm ET on Nascar Radio out of our studios. I'm working some point on Saturday during Claire's live broadcast and then Monday -- hallelujah! I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled!!!!
Look for blogging under the influence of painkillers next week...

Blue Hole Rd - checking the map out I see I have driven past there a few times before.
interesting! I don't get out to that part of nashville that often, so I didn't even know that road existed. I always figured the song referenced somewhere in GA where Jason's from.
Good luck with the wisdom teeth. I have to get mine cut out sometime this summer. I've never been knocked out before, so I've been putting it off for a year or so but it's starting to hurt.
"If you were to mapquest BHR"
Does anyone ever use Mapquest? I have found that to be so unreliable...I tend to use Google (and, now that I have one, my GPS).
"Montgomery Gentry and a couple of other special guests will be joining Storme on the Music Row Happy Hour (4-8pm ET)"
Since the satellite is still acting up during the day, I may miss the special guests...although I won't be too disappointed in missing MG. :p
Good luck on Monday...hope all goes well.
Good luck with the wisdom teeth on Monday, J! Been there, done that! LOL!
Kendel, it could quite possibly be that another Blue Hole Road somewhere. But in my world, he's talking about my road, LOL.
I use mapquest all the time, Paula. I haven't run into anyone else encountering satellite difficulties... but MG is coming in at 7:30 ET. Just between us girls, we're expecting Randy Houser, Richie McDonald, and Crystal Shawanda at some point earlier in the show.
I, too, use mapquest all the time.
Good luck with your wisdom teeth. Hope it goes well.
I use mapquest as well! :D I think it's gotten a lot better.
And love the painkillers! Next week should be FUN!
I'm almost positive I've driven by there (on Bell Rd), but I never noticed Blue Hole Road (or if I did, I didn't make the connection to the song). Cool!
I had my wisdom teeth out a few years back. It wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. I hope yours turns out the same!
Paula, I've had a few terrible mapquest experiences. Roads that don't exist. Telling me to go left instead of right. lol. I use google maps now.
Keith Anderson is from miami oklahoma and there is a blue hole road outside of miami
There is a muddin spot in Macon, kids sneak in and swim. Called the blue hole.
