After a concert last week, one of Dierks Bentley's fans talked Dierks into helping him propose to his girlfriend. It all went down on Dierks' tour bus. Check it out:
This guy did way better with his marriage proposal than I did with mine!! Kim's ring came in on a Friday afternoon, and I was going to take her out to dinner the next night and propose after dinner or whenever it seemed right, but that ring was burning a hole in my pocket and I couldn't wait another whole day to do it so I dropped to a knee when we got home that Friday evening and did it then. Looking back, I wish I had stuck to the original plan. These guys will have a great story to tell though! Congrats to them and kudos to Dierks for helping them out!!!
I had a lady call me in the studio last week and ask who originally sang Sara Evans' current hit song "My Heart Can't Tell You No". My reply to that was that I had no idea the song was a remake. So I check it out on wikipedia and, sure enough, it's a cover of 1988 Rod Stewart song from his album "Out of Order". As the old saying goes, you learn something new every day. Here's a link to Sara's brand new video for her version of the song: http://www.vevo.com/watch/sara-evans/my-heart-cant-tell-you-no/USRV51100011
