So... apparently... unbeknownst to me... voting is taking place now for the XM Nation Awards.
And apparently, Garth is a nominee. Go here to vote, but please, don't ask me where they got that photo of him. I didn't know this was happening. Obviously.
Speaking of his Garthness, I completely forgot to remind y'all that his episode of ShortCuts re-aired Thanksgiving weekend. However, I'm redeeming myself by telling you that Saturday is Garth Day on XMX - channel 2. Nothing but the 3 episodes of "The Ultimate Hits Relived" over and over again.
It's a slight tweak on the 3 separate shows that originally played. For instance, we don't do the credits 3 times. LOL. And I took out the segment about Leno being his good luck charm and how they rearranged the taping for him.
I also cut 3 segments to air at the conclusion of the series going into the next airing where I ramble about his Garthness a little. Producer J. rambling about Garth. That's gotta be compelling radio, LOL. They're short, but it was kind of fun. It was scripted rambling. ;-)
Another press release came out today about the LA Benefit Concert. Staples Center is donating the building, they've got corporate sponsorship, and 100% of the ticket prices (of the tickets themselves, Ticketmaster is apparently keeping their share) are going to the cause. Very Garth like.
I'm spending my evening tomorrow with a couple of country music's hottest men. Details soon.

Keith Urban and Gary Allan?
I have to remember to listen tomorrow!! :) And PLEASE think of me tomorrow night; wish I could be there!
Don't forget that another Keith is at the Wildhorse ;)
So many Keiths... so little time.
Although I didn't get invited to the Wildhorse show *sniff*sniff* -- I hadn't even heard about it!
The Wolf is putting it on...unfortunely I won't be there either. WAAH!
I voted. Pink is winning, so we need to vote.
Blogger wasn't cooperating earlier today...am trying once again.
I voted, but I really don't like these "polls" where you are allowed to vote as many times as you like. That being said, I scanned the voting guidelines and I'm curious as to what would constitute a trigger for XM to void any votes "it deems fraudulent...or are otherwise designed to undermine the integrity of the Voting." :p
Thanks for letting us know about tomorrow. I totally forgot about the re-airing over Thanksgiving weekend. I wish I had more space on my XM2Go to record it. :(
I'm still debating about the LA trip...my vacation time is pretty low, and I'm thinking I might want to save my days in case the spring training rumor is true, particularly since I did get to see him 5 times in KC.
Probably MG or VZ, neither pair being anywhere near the top of my "country music's hottest men" list.:p

J, do you think GB was inviolved in the 'donation' of the Staples Centre, or the elected officials?
Either way its very cool this is going forth. And I love GB apologising for the ticket prices when far lesser act are charging outlandish prices.
I voted too. Hope it will be more than 23 %
J, that photo is from the first box set's booklet- I think it was taken about the time of No Fences.
I had my XM on all day Saturday and just listened to the show as it looped throughout the day. I thought your "rambling" was cute.:-)
One thing I thought I heard the first time through but kept missing on the encores was the release date of MTAM. I thought I heard a date other than August 27...did I hear it wrong?

I totally forgot to listen Saturday. You were probably the only person who heard my rambling.
There was a line by the big voice guy that said "Garth Brooks once again made history with the August 2007 release of the single "More Than A Memory."
That was in Episode 3, right before GB talked about MTAM.
