Country Music Awards

Tomorrow is the CMAs.  

These are not necessarily my predictions on who will win but who want to win.

I will pitch a fit if they win if they are crossed out.

  1. Yes to King George! I have a good feeling that Eric Church take the field this year, his album sales were the highest of the year. Good choices!

  5. Bahahaha... the crossed out ones are hilarious!!! I'm with you on T Swift. Her shit is catchy but she definitely doesn't deserve awards for it lately.

  6. I have to admit I dont listen to country music but I have to agree with your assessment on madame swifty. Her music is kinda catchy these days (i can shoot myself for saying that) but not award worthy.
