Rascal Flatts' New Album Cover!

So was there some news about these guys today? I hadn't heard...

I was going to hold off on parodying this spanking new cover until August's Country Day, but Why Wait? Thanks to Jennifer and Benjamin on Facebook for a couple of these titles and also thanks to CM Wilcox of Country California.

John Rich's Songwriting Tips #42

Okay, you've got a great song written, rewritten, recorded and professionally demoed. What now? Hell if I know. Maybe give it to a superstar singer you know. Oh yeah, you don't know any. Uh, record it yourself for your record label. You don't have a record label? Hmmm. Throw it up in the air and if it comes back down, it was never meant to be anyway. Man, I'm at a loss as to how the little man gets a song recorded.... uh, hmmm.

Just don't hand them to me if you see me around town. I've got lawsuits pending over songs I borrowed... supposedly stole. I really can't help you here. Bottom Line: Be famous and your songs will get recorded. That's how I roll, c*cksucker.
