What’s a story without a protagonist? Do we always need a villain? Country music is said to tell a story. Well, every hero goes on a journey and Kane Brown’s Go Around is epic.

Master storytellers could call themselves gurus or do without the titles. One thing is for certain: every hero’s journey is different. Record label or not, wherever Kane Brown is signed his signature means something. At 29 years old, he’s built a music catalog that can make his family proud. What is more, he is just scratching the surface of his greatness. We all have a unique fingerprint and footprint. Perhaps, you’ve been to a Kane Brown concert. What do the vibrations feel like? Some things in life are indescribable. But, I will do my best to describe who Country Music artist Kane Brown really is and why you need to listen to his music.

First, you have to watch Kane Brown, Katelyn Brown, Thank God official music video in order to see how far Kane has come. It’s incredible his wife recorded a song with him on the Different Man album. This year they will celebrate five years of marriage. The country music singer has made a difference.

Perhaps, his most popular music video and song is called Heaven. Check out the song lyrics and you’ll see why Heaven was a hit in 2017.  If Country music tells a story, then the country music singer is a storyteller. Did you know he auditioned for both American Idol and the X-Factor? Read more about his American Idol experience and you’ll discover they dropped the ball on this talented singer. Throughout Kane Brown’s life, he has dealt with the lovers and haters all the same. 

Despite all of this, I feel the country music community has been supportive of the Nashville based star and his career. The fact of the matter is Brown is not going away any time soon. I believe he was born a star in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I’m going to do my part and see to it that KANE BROWN shines.

The Definition of Great Music



    Great music comes in many forms. Rap, pop, rock, country and jazz are just the tip of the iceberg. Great music is like glaciers in the arctic. It is really the size of Antarctica. It’s not the same as a generation ago, but great music is still there floating…waiting to be discovered. Will you discover it?


    Have you ever listened to classical? To define great music, we must look at who controls the music. The Record labels own your ass. I’m sure you heard about how Taylor Swift is rerecording her music. She is thinking outside the box. I feel the record labels don’t want you to be free.

    What if Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach were legally bound to a record label. In other news, Hasbro now owns Death Row records. A toy company is the owner of gangsta rap records. If you don’t have a problem with that, you shouldn’t have a problem with Taylor Swift rerecording her music.

    Do you think corporations are ruining music? Here are my thoughts. Corporations are actually making music better. Sway doesn’t have the answers, neither does Kanye.

    We’re hearing great music from all around the world because of corporations that make it possible for artists to reach the masses. Corporations are sponsoring great music everywhere. Apple Music, VEVO, and Spotify provide great tools for discovery. 

    I’m also sure you heard Jay Z (ROC Nation) made a deal with the NFL. Jay Z may even become a part-owner of a football team according to TMZ. It’s an interesting development.

    The point is everything is changing fast. You gotta keep up with the times. Great music is everywhere. Rihanna is a private flight away from performing at a concert near you. That’s who should do the halftime show if you ask me. 

    Corporations are not saints. In the end, the bottom line is profit for them. In my opinion, art shouldn’t be corporatized. However, the definition of great music is a profitable sound.

Don’t know why we want Norah Jones? I’ll tell you. We want her for a host of reasons. We want Norah Jones for bragging rights.
Who sings sweeter than the sweetest? Can you keep up with Jones’ sound? The musician can sing in multiple genres. Jazz and Country are her specialties.
Nothing beats her delicate touch. You’ll fall in love with Norah’s pitch. Also, she approaches music with gratitude and respect. It is a privilege to watch this songstress in action.
Listening to Norah Jones defuses stressful days. Moreover, she adds pleasure to many enjoyable moments. Amazing is the best adjective to describe this woman’s work. Shout out to Kate Bush and Maxwell.
Did you know Billboard named Norah Jones Jazz Musician of the decade? This means she bested Kenny G. Could it be that Jones’ voice is a saxophone? 
Imagine listening to Chasing Pirates when sailing on a ship. Get lost in the lyrics of Come Away With Me. Throughout her career she’s made the most out of her talent. She never neglected her gifts. Plus, she paid her dues.
Maybe, Miranda Lambert and Jones can get together.
If Miles Davis was the common denominator, then Norah is the common numerator. Simply put, she’s got our number. The celebrity compares favorably to yoga instructors when it comes to flexibility. Others could learn from this special music artist.
Her concerts frequently sell out because the Texas Longhorn is a rare breed. She mixes ingredients better than Samantha stirs stew on Bewitched. Yet, Norah Jones seems pure.
She insists on opening doors rather than closing them. The celebrity can change on command. We value adaptability in entertainers. Who else can cut a song with Carrie Underwood and Herbie Hancock?
In a nutshell, she gives us everything. That’s why we want Norah Jones.

Why There Won’t Be Another Kid Rock

BY: GURU JAY


When Kid Rock is in the studio or onstage he utilizes electronic instruments and technology to the fullest. He maintains his relevancy and remains unflustered by technology’s rapidness. Looking at his Twitter, glancing at his Facebook, or reading his Wikipedia won’t fully measure his superstardom. Kid Rock may be old school but the new kids on the block respect him.
What’s more, he loves performing in front of thousands. It is an unbelievable feeling hearing fans scream at the top of their lungs. Everyone occupying the space is there on your behalf.
Cherish Kid Rock while you can. There won’t be another like him. The musician leads a fascinating lifestyle.
He’s a single man, so groupies will do anything to gain his attention. Who doesn’t want to be a pop or rock star? Celebrities make small fortunes from appearances alone.

Celebs are given free stuff all the time. Kid Rock is a rare sighting because he’s an outlaw. You see although Rock receives star treatment, he understands the price of freedom.
The celeb stirs controversy like coffee every morning. Moreover, he’s loyal to his roots. He represents Michigan better than congressmen. Also, Eminem owes him a steak dinner because Kid wasn’t served a full course meal on a silver platter.
As a white boy, he engaged in risky behavior associating with Murder Capital aka Detroit. Kid Rock defines celebrity because he always celebrates.

The Born Free songwriter lives the American Dream unapologetically. Who else has successfully crossed rock, rap, pop, and country genres? His duets with Sheryl Crowe are priceless.
There’s no doubt he is one of a kind. This self-taught musician can play various instruments. Kid doesn’t need to make the band, because he is the band. 5 am trains don’t deliver like Kid Rock delivers to his people.

Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? Blue Collar Celebs comedy comics country Entertainment Funny Guru Jay Jeff Foxworthy Jokes Larry the Cable Guy Movies Rednecks richest show business standup TV shows

Who Is More Country? Jeff Foxworthy Vs. Larry the Cable Guy

BY: GURU JAY

I’ve followed comedians Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy for more than a decade. They’re true to the blue. That’s why Jeff and Larry are the richest comics in show business.
Did you read about their upcoming tour together? It’s generating a lot of buzz. I’m thinking about buying a couple of tickets.
Whenever Foxworthy gets on stage, he makes rednecks comfortable. Rednecks get Goosebumps, when Larry the Cable Guy comes to the stage. Without question, the Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? host is a much safer bet than the Delta Farce. Sometimes, Larry the Cable Guy embarrasses you.
But they can’t say he cheats you. As a standup comic, the Cable Guy still stands as one of the best buys in my book of comedy. What is more, this generation coming up is arrogant and entitled.

Back in Larry’s day, children respected their elders. Nowadays, nobody values anything. I like Larry because like Kevin James, he sweats the small stuff. In other words, the relatable comic cherishes the tiniest of kind gestures. Clearly, society has changed too quickly. Does Jeff Foxworthy lose the message to his story as a result?
I admire how Jeff doesn’t aimlessly throw jokes at you. The man pitches his material like baseball legend Randy Johnson with crazy velocity. While he’s on the mound, his opponents fear for their livelihoods.
Both comics appeal to blue-collar workers. But, I believe white, pink, and green collar workers can value their celebrity offerings. They have a ton to offer the comedy sphere.

If you’re going to a Monster Truck Rally or WWE tournament, tag along with Larry. If you’re attending a hockey match, Jeff is your guy . Although they are both similar, we must value their differences too.
For what it’s worth, Jeff Foxworthy doesn’t stay in character. On the other hand, the Cable Guy is a marketing invention designed to spruce up ticket prices. Anyway, Larry busts your gut all the same.
If Larry is comedy’s Kenny Chesney, that makes Foxworthy Blake Shelton. After a long day of work, you deserve to play their comedy on Blu-ray. I bet a donkey, you’ll laugh your ass off.
In a crowded field, they have mastered their brands and distinguished their art forms. How did Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy reach top status? With your help… these comedians became the cream of the crop.
They wouldn’t get anywhere without a dedicated Southern fandom. Truly, they have followers all around the country and the world even. But, you can’t deny the power of Southern hospitality, which brings me to my final question. Who is more country?

John Mayer Vs. Mark Ronson: Who is the Best Entertainer?

BY: GURU JAY
Is it ever too late to learn how to play the guitar? Instrumentals are just as invaluable as vocals. Does John Mayer’s voice beat Mark Ronson’s instruments?

Without question, Mayer’s vocal chords destroy Ronson’s, because Mark doesn’t sing. Who do you think is better overall as a complete entertainer? For me Mayer is more talented, but Ronson is more creative. 

To simultaneously play an instrument and carry a tune exceptionally well like the ‘Gravity’ singer, requires phenomenal skills. However, Ronson’s creativity scores are unbelievable. Remember he scratches and cuts records in addition to producing.
Why do you think everybody wants to collaborate with the ‘Oh My God’ hit maker? For two things, he is invisible and invincible.
Right now Mark Ronson is hotter than John Mayer. But that might change in the near future. Mayer is seeing Katy Perry, and you know Katy keeps bleeding his love.
Unfortunately, I have a feeling John messed over Taylor Swift pretty badly. That’s why it seems she made ‘Bad Blood’ with a vendetta. But what girl wouldn’t want to date the $10 million man? That’s right, according to Billboard, John earned over seven zeroes last year.
In contrast, Mark maintains a low profile. Some people prefer working behind the scenes. Sometimes great directors make more money than the greatest actors. In a sense, Mark Ronson is the Michael Bay of music.

‘Uptown Funk’ and ‘Feel Right’ are definitely two songs in my queue.
The difference between Mark and John is, I don’t believe Ronson wants to be famous. But, Mayer seems to care immensely about his popularity. In entertainment, fame and money rarely come separately. And of course, bullshit is included too.
Actually, John plucks the strings stronger than Mark. Clearly, Ronson’s sound reaches more ears because he has an array of associated acts. For the most part, Mayer’s only musical companion is his trusty guitar.

Overall, I choose John Mayer as the best entertainer because he is a consistent storyteller, who has punctually arrived.

The Urban Legend of Taylor Swift

Why has Taylor Swift abandoned country for pop music? Taylor is a great singer who used to sing ballads to Tim McGraw and Toby Keith. What happened?
4 years ago Beyoncé and Jay Z couldn’t care less about Taylor Swift.  Now, they’re hanging out together. What’s happening?
If Swift stayed country, she’d be richer. Remember there are riches in niches. Country is profitable because there isn’t a lot of competition. Still, country can only take Taylor so far because it only sells in America.
I predict Taylor Swift will go back to country when she’s older. Pop music targets teenagers not senior citizens. So, Taylor is rapidly expanding her fan base.
Yes, she’s losing a few fans but she’s gaining more. I wonder how she reached 72 million Facebook likes and 49 million Twitter followers. What is the price of fame?
Are you a Swiftie? I don’t want to pretend like I’m a fan. I admire Taylor. I don’t hold anything against the superstar. But, she belongs to country.
Urban Legend
I finally figured out the Taylor Swift riddle. It is not about money. She wants to be an Urban Legend.
You see country music fans reside in rural areas. Mainstream music fans live in urban areas. If Taylor wants fans in Japan, she’ll have to fly to Tokyo.  
The best fans are in Metropolis places such as Los Angeles, New York, and London.  It makes sense that she’s a New York ambassador. While other celebrities play charades with fans, Taylor Swift is playing chess.
