BMI is cranking out the parties this week... tonight's schmooze fest was a combination #1 party / platinum party for Rodney Atkins, and the song "Watching You."
Another #1 party, another Round Robin, and we got about 40 minutes with Rodney! So we pretty much covered everything. (Including a couple of wacky things from an internet reporter none of us had every seen before.)
One of the things I asked him was how Elijah was handling the fame of being a video star. :-) He told a great story of being in Taco Bell the other night and someone came into the restaurant and recognized "the buckaroo kid." It wasn't until after they talked to Elijah that they recognized his daddy. The person asked if he could get his picture taken with Elijah, who said sure - after he finished his taco. LOL. The next two places they went that night they got recognized, and on the drive home Elijah said "we just have fans everywhere!"
Someone asked him his favorite album of all time, and he said that No Fences was the one that was "always in the back of your mind that if you could just make one of these albums." He said he keeps No Fences and Ray Charles' Modern Sounds In Country & Western Music in his home studio to inspire him.
Those of you in Indy, he's shooting his next video ("These Are My People") at the Country Music Expo next month.
Food at the party was an ecclectic mix, including fried chicken strips on skewers, a delicious cucumber salad, roast beef on these little pancake things, fried fish nuggets, fried corn nuggets, and one unknown round item topped with guacamole.
I'm off tomorrow to get a new kitchen floor put down. Wish me luck.
