I know, I know. I didn’t think it would ever happen, either.

It started because my carpool buddy likes Country and would play it from time to time when it was her turn to drive. Naturally, many of the songs grew on me.

Then, a few of my friends invited me to go with them to the Stagecoach Festival this year in Indio.

Camp out in a RV for the weekend, get some sun, drink lots of beer, AND check out some live music? Why the fuck not?

It was pretty awesome. Saturday was Brad Paisley, Reba, Little Big Town, and Darius Rucker. On Sunday we saw Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, Zac Brown Band, Lady Antebellum, and Kid Rock!

Kid Rock is a gatdamned rock star and can put on a fuckin’ show. I definitely want to see him again.

I didn’t take too much footage, but what I did capture from my cell phone is on my Qik page.

I came back to Long Beach a much bigger country music fan. Shit, I’m just a music fan, period.

I’m still working on my country Pandora station . . . but feel free to check out all my stations.
