Top Ten Things I Thought Would Happen Before the Saints Made it to the Super Bowl

I'm a long-suffering Saints fan, so yesterday's win propelling them into their first Super Bowl elicited quite a celebration at my house. Here's a list of some things I thought I might live to see first...

10. World peace

9. Rascal Flatts puts out a stone country album

8. Original Guns n' Roses reunites

7. Ellen Degeneres becomes a Republican

6. Mainstream hip-hop becomes relevant again

5. Andy Dick stops living up to his last name

4. Leann Rimes enunciates

3. Taylor Swift goes bankrupt

2. Aliens arrive to take Lady Gaga back home

1. Carrie/Taylor fans call a truce

John Rich's Songwriting Tips #27

Respect those who came before you. I showed my respect for Johnny Cash by writing a song that had not shit to do with the Man in Black, yet bore his name as a title. He was honored, or he would have been. Someday, people (maybe you?) will show their appreciation for the roads I paved by sending me royalties from any anti-bankerman songs, treacly love ballads that mention forever, or pro-cowboy riding anthems. And from the baby-faced baller to you, thanks!
