Post Malone’sF-1 Trillion Tour is off and racing.  He just finished up his first two shows in Salt Lake City, and fans seem to be loving everything about it.

Chris Young’s song, “Young Love & Saturday Nights” just got to #1 on the Country Airplay chart . . . And you might recognize it, because it uses a David Bowie guitar riff from the song “Rebel Rebel”. This means that David Bowie now has a #1 song on the Country charts as well, and he achieved it 8 years after his passing. This was made possible when Warner Chappell Music purchased Bowie’s catalog in 2022.  They are now legally allowed to use Bowie’s songs in a wide variety of different ways. Chris said, “There are a lot of songs where people use something as a sample or have exactly the same melody.  This is different.  This is creating something new, with a nod to something that pre-existed . . . Just to have a song that has David Bowie listed as a songwriter is amazing.”

Megan Moroney just announced a batch of tour dates for next year.  It’s called the Am I Okay? Tour . . . and the dates stretch from March to August.  For now, she’s only hitting up the eastern half of the U.S. The pre-sale is tomorrow . . . the public sale opens on Friday . . . and “VIP experience” upgrades will be made available next week.

Brooks & Dunn just announced they’ll be heading back out on the road again next year.  Tickets for the first leg of their new Neon Moon Tour go on sale this week, with the first dozen shows set for next March and April. The 12 tour dates take them through eight states . . . Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and Kentucky.  Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10:00 AM local time, based on where each venue is. They announced their Last Rodeo Tour way back in 2009 and said they’d be splitting up after that, but it didn’t stick. They launched their Reboot Tour in 2021.  It just wrapped up last month almost three years later.

Henry Winkler refused to let his daughter do reality TV.  Once, when a producer came to their house, he told him, quote, “I can suggest some really good restaurants, [but] my daughter is not doing your show.” One of the funniest things to come from the show was George Strait’s reaction to the performances. Someone…
