Bare Bones (27 page)

1 and 2, but why did they make 3?

Luke Bryan. Good dude. Great musician. Fantastic performer. I wish I could say something bad about him. Let me think . . . Nope, I still can't.

Carrie Underwood. I mean, that's an iPhone pic and she still looks perfect. She's been a great friend to the show and to my band The Raging Idiots.

The great thing about radio is that you can, for the most part, wear whatever you want. Even stupid-looking tank tops.
