We’ll make a swift start because a day without Taylor Swift is like an ocean without water. Today it’s being reported that country music’s favorite 18-year-old blond has been named a “Goddess of Summer” by the makers of a national brand of women’s razors. "This has been an amazing year for me -- and my new 'Goddess of Summer' role is a fun way for me to connect with my fans," Taylor said. Be watching for Taylor and her goddess-worthy legs in ad campaigns beginning August 15th.
Blond #2. Garth Brooks’ pretty wife, Miss Yearwood is sporting a ‘stache that you can’t shave. Trisha Yearwood is the latest celebrity to be featured in the “Got Milk” ad campaign.
Cute-as-a-cowgirl Jessica Simpson will be on the September cover of Elle magazine with an accompanying article about her love life and musical inspirations. That’s 3.
Blond #4 comes with a little more testosterone, but it’s attractive to learn that there’s some intellect under the curls. Dierks Bentley recently finished reading a biography of Henry the 8th. It was 900 pages long and he says he felt smart pulling it out to read on planes. He finished it while in Europe on tour.
And as long as we’re shopping in the good-lookin’ blond men’s department, how about a fifth tow head for a Feel Good Friday? Word is circulating that Bucky Covington is shopping for material for a sophomore album. New songs are being auditioned to receptive audiences on the concert trail this summer, with studio time tentatively booked for the fall. Stay tuned for a release date. Meanwhile, the third single from Bucky Covington, “I’ll Walk” continues to climb the charts (#13 MR / #29 MB) and burn up the video sharing services. You can see one of the most popular creations here.
Now for those that prefer your fellas a little on the darker side, Johnny Cash fans will want to set your DVR’s to see The Man in Black on August 5th. A 40-year old documentary will air on PBS. The documentary aired originally on public TV shortly after it was made in the late '60's, was released briefly in theaters, was shown in the United Kingdom, and aired last year on a cable channel. Cash is shown in a variety of footage onstage and off. Asked why PBS would air such dated footage, Executive Director Simon Kilmurry said, "Johnny Cash has become an almost mythic figure, and Bob Elfstrom's film captures him as a three-dimensional, complex person at a pivotal point in his life and career." Look for Johnny Cash: The Man, His World, His Music on TV Tuesday as part of the 21st season of PBS' Emmy-winning P.O.V. series.And lastly, sad news related to the Spotlight Artist of the Week. Darryl Worley’s Uncle Ed Howard has died at 95 this week in Savannah, Tennessee. He made regular appearances in his nephew’s videos, including the featured spotlight video “Tennessee River Run." Uncle Ed was also a fixture at Darryl’s annual Tennessee River Run to raise money for charitable causes. Condolences to the Worley Family. Share some memories with one of Uncle Ed’s appearances in this built-for-Friday video “A Good Day To Run.”
And one more Friday Feature for our Spotlight Artist. Check out Darryl Worley performing “Awful Beautiful Life” for the troops on a USO Tour. That should be enough to keep you occupied all weekend.
