It's A Feel Good Friday!

Carrie Underwood presented a big check to Save the Children, an organization that responds to children in communities that have been hit by natural disaster, poverty, disease, and civil conflict. During the fall leg of her Play On tour, Carrie saved 36 cents from every ticket sold to donate over 140-thousand dollars to the charity. The amount donated was inspired by the lyric, “36 cents,” from her song, “Change”.

Toby Keith’s fascination with Mexico and the drink, Mezcal, has inspired him to create his own version of the alcoholic beverage. Toby’s Wild Shot brand of Mezcal is to be consumed like tequila; although, according to him, it “goes down a lot smoother.” Every true bottle of Toby’s Mezcal includes an agave worm, which he says is “not there for the look,” but to be eaten. Toby’s other business venture, his I Love This Bar & Grill, just opened its’ newest location in Denver, Colorado.

And finally, one more cute Brad-and-Huck story for the week. It seems Brad Paisley’s four-year-old son, Huck, has a crush on Carrie Underwood. Brad told People magazine that Huck insisted on getting Carrie flowers before she came over to their house around Valentine’s Day. Huck also dictated a letter to his mother for Carrie that said, “I hope you have an incredible day and night. Love Huck.” Huck then decided to show off in front of Carrie while they were all hanging out in Brad’s studio. Once Carrie was looking, Huck pushed all of the pillows off of a couch, held the pillows above his head, and then said “Look how strong I am!” If you ask Huck if he likes girls though, he will tell you no. His reasoning for liking Carrie is her music. Although Brad says that Huck’s musical taste is directly his fault. Brad only allows Huck to listen to the music that he likes until he’s old enough to realize there are other genres as well. “He likes everything that I sort of play him. So he’s kind of mostly been I guess exposed to guitar music and country music. And he likes bluegrass and Eric Clapton. And he likes things I like for now,” Brad said. “And then pretty soon he’ll find his own way and he’ll say, ‘you know, my dad’s an idiot.’”
