Speaking of our nation's birthday -- XM is launching a "micro-channel" called Uncle Sam that runs July 3rd and 4th on XM 120. The soundtrack for your 4th of July b-b-q. I heard on the radio this week that the 4th of July is the biggest single day for beer sales of the year. I'm sure our founding fathers are proud.
If you missed it tonight you have 2 more chances to catch Music City Connection: Heroes Behind the Hits this week with Bob Regan, Georgia Middleman and Jeff Stevens. (Another case of a songwriter who testified to Congress about how evil XM is, jumping at the chance to be on our airwaves) This one was taped at the XM Mother Ship in Washington, D.C. You can always get the latest schedule and listen to past shows at the Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau website.
And of course: 7-7-07 means Live Earth -- around the globe and across the XM Nation. I'm a little torked that Keith Urban is the only country artist included, but at least we have one. Live Earth coverage takes over the XM Rock neighborhood (starting at channel 40) and will also air on DirecTV and XM Radio Online as well as our cell phone and airline partners. It will NOT air on our AOL feeds. All the schedule of events can be found at LiveEarth.org - plus you can get tips on mass transport options for getting to the shows. How much carbon emissions are going into the air to get all those artists to these shows via their tour busses and private jets? The whole thing sort of seems a bit hypocritical to me, but I'm merely a lone blogger, what do I know. it will be a great day of music.
Tomorrow I shall bring you all the scoop I have on Nashville's 4th of July celebration - seen live on GAC-TV - as well as the next couple of stops on the Producer J. World Tour.

As far as the carbon emission stuff, there are things you can do to offset that. :)
