Country Music entertainers see there jobs differently sometimes..bringing the party…making memories…but I think they would all agree with Miranda Lambert when she Sees Her Job As Helping People Forget About Their Issues And The Problems In The World … “People don’t want to think about it. That’s what entertainment is for. I think people come to concerts because they want to cut loose for two hours of their life and drink a beer and listen to music and just be out of the problems, because they have to deal with that seven days a week. And my job is to try to make people have fun and not think about that stuff.” Good point…

Did you love or hate the crazy outfits Brothers Osborne wore while performing “Skeletons” at the ACMs? They wore white jumpsuits with randomly painted black lines. Either way, blame John Osborne. For the meticulous work it took for him to make them: saying, “We bought some coverall Dickies online. I spent two days painting [them] in my front yard.”
