Jake Owen Cut His Hair Because He Was Bored . . . And Then Saved it in a Box

JAKE OWEN did an interview with Glamour, and as you’d expect, they covered all the important issues like, why did he cut his hair, and did his save any of it?  He was kind enough to humor them.

He said, quote, “I don’t know, I got bored.  I have it in the house in this box.  It’s a lot of hair, believe it or not.”  He also learned people weren’t as much in love with his precious hair as he thought.

Quote, “The consensus seems to be . . . I mean, it’s weird, people come up to me and say, “You look way better with short hair,” and I’m like, ‘[Crap], I wish someone had told me this 10 years ago!'”

Later in the interview he revealed a marriage tip that he got from his mother.  Quote, “She said being married is not a 50/50 deal.  Sometimes my dad gives 10% and she has to give 90% and vice versa.

“She said you’ll never be 50/50, it’s always one or the other.  If someone’s having a bad day, no matter if you want to or not, the other person needs you to lift them up, and I’ve learned that.”


Lee Brice’s Tour Bus Has Five TVs . . . From When It Belonged to Darius Rucker

LEE BRICE needed a new tour bus, so he scored one that DARIUS RUCKER used to own.  And it’s a terrific bus . . . if you’re a sports addict.

Lee says, quote, “It has five TVs in it.  He really liked to watch his sports.  There are three TVs up front and in the back bedroom there are two TVs so he could watch two different games at one time.”


 

Zac Brown Has a Specific Step-By-Step Approach to Songwriting

ZAC BROWN starts his songwriting process by letting the music take him where it wants to go.  Once the ball gets rolling then it’s a step-by-step progression.  He says, quote, “They all start off from playing them on an acoustic guitar.

“And then you got a skeleton, which is the song by itself, and then you gotta put an outfit on it.  So you gotta dress the song up and get it set for where it’s going to be going.”
