Kip Moore Prefers Boxers Over Briefs . . . and ‘Rent Money’ Over ‘Beer Money’
SoundsLikeNashville.com played “This Or That” with KIP MOORE. It’s pretty simple, they give him two choices and he picks one. For example, he chose tacos over sushi . . . and “gym rat” over couch potato.
He got serious when he chose beer money over rent money. Quote, “I lived in some really bad places in Nashville for years where rent was the struggle every single week. I couldn’t keep the heat on, or the lights on, so rent is a very serious situation.”
There was also no hesitation between “Naked And Afraid” or “The Amazing Race”. Quote, “‘Naked And Afraid’ all day long . . . that’s my guilty pleasure.”
And, when asked to choose between “tighty-whiteys” or “smiley-face boxers,” he went with the boxers.
Merle Haggard’s Family Wants Him to Quit the Road
MERLE HAGGARD told “Garden & Gun” magazine that he can’t stand the idea of NOT performing, even though his family has been asking him to quit touring. Obviously, they’re worried about his health.
His doctors forced him to cancel all of his March tour dates hoping that he’ll shake the bout of double pneumonia that started last year.
Here’s what Merle said, quote, “It’s a double-edged sword. It’s what keeps me alive and it’s what [effs] up my life. It’s hard to have a family, so I try to split it up. I try to build up [at home], and then go and jump on the bus.”
According to his website, his next scheduled show is with WILLIE NELSON on April 7th in Cape Girardeau, Missouri . . . but don’t be surprised if he’s still not ready.
There is one thing from the interview you might enjoy. It’s what he said about DOLLY PARTON. Quote, “Oh, she’s hot, isn’t she? She’s the most charismatic human being alive. She’s Marilyn Monroe with a guitar. She’d make Marilyn take the dirt road.”
CHRIS STAPLETON explains why it was a “natural thing” for his song “Traveller” to end up as the title of his album. Quote, “[They’re both] about a journey in a musical sense, a physical sense, and a spiritual sense . . . and every way that you can have a journey.”
“Think Of You” is a big hit for CHRIS YOUNG and CASSADEE POPE, so they’re trying to strike while the iron’s hot. She posted a photo them working together and wrote, “Those who duet together, write together.”
LORETTA LYNN and WILLIE NELSON filmed the video to their song “Lay Me Down“ at Nashville’s Municipal Auditorium. It’s on Loretta’s latest album, “Full Circle”.
