Country Doppelgängers

Inspired by Rita Ballou's hilarious recurring Texas music doppelgangers, here are a few of my own. Sorry, no wonderfully snarky gossip between entries; I don't have any inside sources. :)

I've always thought Eric Church and former WCW World Champion David Arquette looked a lot alike.

The only real resemblance between Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum and Snooki of Jersey Shore is the pouf, but it's good enough for me!

Worry "warsher" Luke Bryan and star of annoying AT&T commercials and Idiocracy, Luke Wilson.

Here's a no-brainer. Miranda Lambert and Emilie De Ravin of Lost.

Stone country traditionalist Danny Gokey and MC Serch of early 90s rap group 3rd Bass. (Yes, there were good caucasian rappers before Eminem)

Here's another no-doubter.

Justin Bieber's new album cover

Billy Joe is not guilty (YouTube Gems)

Not guilty!

John Rich's Songwriting Tips #33

Write because you love to do it. Art becomes product when you simply write from a viewpoint of "where can this get me?" Put your heart and soul, blood and sweat into everything you write. Bring something original to the table. Ha ha, who the f*ck am I kidding? Get them presidents, baby! Write to the rhyme, not the line. Recycle cliches. Make stuff sound deep by using a few sentimental words in a piece of fluff. Chase that dolla and make the ladies holla. Kneel at the altar of that almighty green if you wanna be seen. Words to live by, ho-bags!
