Half Off Wednesday: It's Better Than A Bonk With A Beer

Heidi-ho … here we go! It’s another Half Off Wednesday at The Country Station. Today you can save more than half during the One Day Only Clearance Sale on all remaining Half Off Certificates. Offer good while supplies last. And while we’re cleaning things up, you may also notice that between additions and date shuffling, there’s been a lot of movement on the CD Release List lately. Be sure to check back from time to time to see what’s coming out when.

You ever been bonked with a beer? Unfortunately, Pat Green can attest to the fact that it hurts! Pat was in the middle of a 75-minute set at the Michigan International Speedway when he was hit in the head with a full can of beer! According to reports, Pat asked the audience for a drink. A fan threw a beer onstage and he caught it. But a second can came flying as well, and it hit him right between the eyes. The impact knocked Pat out - abruptly ending the show. Medics treated him at the scene.

A couple of country ladies are standing up for cancer research. Carrie Underwood and LeAnn Rimes will lend their voices to the single “Just Stand Up” – with proceeds from the sales of the song earmarked to go to cancer research. A handful of other female pop singers are also featured on the track that will be available in stores and for download on September 2nd. Then on September 5th the ladies will unite on stage to perform “Just Stand Up” live for the Stand Up To Cancer television special, scheduled to broadcast simultaneously on ABC, CBS and NBC.

And if you’re anxious to see the trailer for Trace Adkins’ upcoming film An American Carol, here you go. Trace plays the “Ghost of Christmas Future.” The story is based loosely on Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol, with a patriotic twist. The film centers around a character that is a parody of Michael Moore named “Michael Malone” and Trace plays one of the ghosts that shows him the true meaning of patriotism. The film also stars Kelsey Grammer, Dennis Hopper, Jon Voight, and James Woods. In theatres October 3rd.
