Jelly Roll just announced his new album, “Beautifully Broken” will be released on October 11th. We know for sure that his singles, “I Am Not Okay” . . . “Liar” . . . and “Get By” will be on the album. And if you pre-order a copy of his album in his U.S. web store, all net profits will go to organizations helping those who struggle with mental health issues and addiction. He sat down recently with the “New York Times” for an in-depth interview and talked about the intention that goes behind his music.  He said, “I’m looking for songs with a purpose.  When I go to put out a song under the name Jelly Roll . . .”I think to myself, why?  Because for the first time in my life, it has nothing to do with a financial decision.  I’m well past putting out anything for money.  So now, it really is a why.” To accompany his new album, his Beautifully Broken Tour starts tomorrow in Salt Lake City and will hit up 37 cities before closing in Jacksonville, Florida on November 23rd. The openers for the first half of his stadium shows are Warren Zeiders and Alexandra Kay.  The openers for the second half of his tour are Ernest, Shaboozey, and Allie Colleen.

Megan Moroney was just interviewed and she revealed her biggest dating “ick”. She said, “Ego, probably.  I’m like, just be nice, please.  I’ve paid for dinners.  Regularly.”  Is she talking about Morgan Wallen? Okay, so let’s break this down: No one wants to date someone with an ego.   Confidence is sexy, but being self-important is not.  But she is doing quite well right now, so I wouldn’t be too mad if she picked up the check.  Although, it is the gentlemanly duty on dates. In other Megan news, she pulled a great prank on Kenny Chesney during their show at Gillette Stadium on Friday.  While he was singing, “She Thinks My Tractor Is Sexy”, Megan drove out dressed like Kenny, riding a mini toy tractor.

Post Malone and his team are genius marketers.  His album “F-1 Trillion” is everywhere.  Even down to the iconic Ford truck they used for his album art. If you were in Nashville this past weekend, you had a chance to see it in person.  Although, it is a bit damaged.  They put it in front of Bridgestone Arena, which is where the Nashville Predators play. Their mascot, Gnash, took a photo with the now beat-up truck.  It had a sign on it that said, “For Sale:  Famously pre-owned.  Minor repairs needed, some water damage.”
