One other item from CMT you might want to check out: a recent interview with Toby Keith and Trace Adkins.

They may be superstars now, but they enjoy looking back to before they were famous.

Here’s an excerpt:

Both also remember the challenges of playing music for people who didn’t really care who was standing on the stage.

“You had nights where you didn’t have anybody in there,” Keith recalled.

“Yeah, the bartender and a couple of old drunks,” Adkins said. “And you still had to get up and do your set … because you had to. And we were traveling around in an old beat-up van that was barely running, pulling a trailer full of beat-up gear. Sometimes it worked. Sometimes it didn’t.”

“And if something broke down, nobody got paid that week,” Keith said.

“Yeah, nobody got paid,” Adkins added.

McCready offers her two cents

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Between the Eric Dane/Rebecca Gayheart/Kari Ann Peniche nude tape and now Mackenzie Phillips’ revelation that she had sex with her father, Mindy McCready continues to parlay her role in VH1’s “Celebrity Rehab” into headlines on entertainment-related Web sites.

The latest: McCready talked to Access Hollywood about Phillips – her roommate on “Celebrity Rehab” – and the dark secret she revealed in her book.

“Nobody has the right to say what they do or don’t believe,” Mindy told Shaun. “Dealing with a 30-year long drug addiction problem doesn’t just encompass the drug, ’cause there’s a reason why she went to that in the first place.”

“Since the book came out, has she said to you that she regrets going public, because she’s been under so much scrutiny?” Shaun asked.

“No, she has not said that and she better not say that. In order for you to be better you have to get real with yourself and with your friends and family members. No matter how hard it is and no matter how difficult the subject matter the truth has to come out,” Mindy said.
