10. Am I the only one that cannot wait for the new @TheBandPerry CD? “Day 2 in the studio. rp”

9. I take it that @LauraBellBundy isn’t a morning person “Old people gotta A LOT of energy in the morning! They are CACKLING like school girls on this plane to… Wait 4 it… FLORIDA.”

8. Here is another invention worth a million bucks – @SarahBuxton has the cure to crack “Invention: The Crack Flap. Comes up over the back of your pants & covers the inevitable plumbers crack caused by today’s low rise pants.”

7. @BrettEldredge crack me up! “Grey Poupon had a baby and named it Groupon #FancyMustardCoupons”

6. Maybe we should find a different form of transportation for country artists.  This week had yet another bus fire. @ThompsonSquare tweeted “WAKING UP ENGULFED IN SMOME TO A BUS FIRE IN OUR BACK LOUNGE!!!! Not a good morning”

5. Who makes up these rumors? @Reba is as alive as ever! “The rumors of my Austrian death are greatly exaggerated!

4. Obviously @MartinaMcBride isn’t a Starbucks regular. “Starbucks person: What size? Me: Um..regular? I mean, is there a CLASS for this??? How do you learn it? #woefullynotwithit”

3. @BradPaisley was on a roll last week with his #belatedpopsongcorrections. Head over to his twitter to read ‘em all “Birds don’t actually fly over most rainbows. And I can’t fly at all.Therefore I can’t fly over the rainbow. Duh. #belatedpopsongcorrections”

2. There is a reason @ChrisYoungMusic is on the “On Fire” Tour right now “Its official guys! You is my fifth straight billboard number one single!!! Thank you! #stoked”

1. Wait!? There’s a football game today? @Miranda_Lambert tweeted this pic. “Super Bowl!!!!”

10. This week the tour bus that Lee Brice and @TylerFarr use caught fire. They were able to save some items “Coincidence that my Tim Tebow book was unharmed in the bus fire?? I think not! He’s fireproof”

9. To stay on topic, @CraigCampbellTV had bus troubles this week also “Bus door key pad broken…getting close to show time…may have to where the clothes we have on #theshowmustgoon”

8. On his first major country tour, @ScottyMcCreery knows how to stay connected with those at home “skype really comes in handy on the road..”

7. Sometimes @JimmyWayne has the best inspirational sayings “‘it’s not success when all you have to show for it is money’ #happiness”

6. This isn’t the first time that @BrettEldredge has thought outside the box “I wonder if Siri ever gets tired of living in that little iPhone….. #nolegroom #claustrophobia”

5. Before looking forward at an album release week, @KelliePickler found time to look back “Found a picture of me & Kyle fishing’ at one of Saddam’s Palaces on a USO tour. #BringingTheRedneckToAPalaceNearYo”

4. Last week @JakeOwen broke his collar bone; this week a check-up was in store “In the Dr. waiting on my sentence.. You know it’s not good when he comes in and says “That break is worse than the football teams”. Damn.”

3. Blake and @Miranda_Lambert experienced a loss this week – Blake’s dad. Here is what Miranda said “Thank you all for your kindness and prayer. Our family means everything to us. Blake and I appreciate the support so much.”

2. This week we lost a legend. Little Big Town (@LBTmusic) summed it up best “We’re saddened to hear of Etta James passing today. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family. Her voice has been and will always be a part of all of our lives. In our wildest dreams we could have never imagined having the chance to hear her record a piece of music we wrote. Hearing her sing “Boondocks” is an honor we will treasure forever.”

1. After a successful first weekend tour, @BradPaisley had a celebratory cigar. “If you ever wondered if you can light a cigar with a laser, well you can.”

Brad Paisley’s Virtual Reality World Tour 2012 presented by Chevrolet just completed its first weekend by playing three sold-out shows before a total of over 39,000 fans in the blustery mid-west, with stops in Grand Rapids, Milwaukee and St. Paul. Special guests on the tour are CMA New Artist of the Year The Band Perry and 2011 American Idol winner Scotty McCreery.

On Saturday afternoon Paisley performed before an intimate crowd at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul on Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor. He sat in with Guy’s All Star Shoe Band, performed a Guy Noir Skit and performed two of his own songs along with “Life’s Railway to Heaven” with Keillor. Paisley tweeted following Prairie Home Companion, “It’s surreal opposites day. Intimate live radio with pal Garrison Keillor at Prairie Home Companion, then over to the arena for my big circus.”

Later Saturday evening Paisley surprised the audience by having rockabilly guitarist Brian Setzer, who lives in Minneapolis, join him on stage for two encore songs.

The Virtual Reality Tour continues this week with shows in Kansas City, MO, Wichita, KS and Denver, CO. Live Nation is the national tour promoter. Log on to www.bradpaisley.com or www.livenation.com for tour dates and information.

10. It’s the beginning of tour season 2012 and @ScottyMcCreery has landed a spot on Brad Paisley’s tour. This is what he had to say about his boss “Man, this whole headlining tour thing @BradPaisley has going on is really giving him a big head! Check out the pic…”

9. So all those commercials were lying? @LauraBellBundy said “What happens in Vegas… Gets on Facebook. #wahwah”

8. Newcomer Brent Anderson (@Brents2cents) may have found a new job if his flight is ever delayed in Chicago “How do they keep the snow off the runway? That must be somebody’s full time job. Sounds awful. You’d never get off for a snow day.”

7. You know you are in Nashville when you see more camo than plaid! @MeghanLinsey of Steel Magnolia tweeted “2 guys in front of me… Camo shirt, Camo hat, Camo backpack, Camo luggage.. You goin to Nashville? Hell yeah! #airportpeoplewatching”

6. And it’s now time for a Public Service Announcement from @BrettEldredge “My bro just read an article that says an ATM touch screen has more bacteria than a toilet seat….I think I’ll start paying w/ checks n IOUs”

5. As @JakeOwen found out, there is one downside to being an adventurist – broken bones “Just broke my collar bone. Guess I charged this mountain a little too hard.”

4. I don’t think Blake will be happy with this tweet from @Miranda_Lambert “$1000 dollars at Target and im ready to start the tour in Rockford. New bus, new set, new snow boots:)”

3. Sometimes you forget how normal superstars are, but @TaylorSwift13 shows how grounded she is in this tweet “Apparently my only way of dealing with a remote control that isn’t working right is to bang it on the table and scream ‘COME ON!’”

2. This week many of country’s biggest (and lesser known) names toured St. Jude. This tweet from @MartinaMcBride shows how important it is to donate “Just toured St. Jude hospital n Memphis. Amazing,amazing place. Met some great kids. Saw the labs where they r doing groundbreaking research”

1. With a sold out debut weekend, the @BradPaisley Virtual Reality World Tour 2012 is off with a bang! Brad posted this from the Bradley Center “I’ve never been cooler than this…”

Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts had an announcement on twitter this week. Read this if you are headed to a show “If you are coming to a show this winter, wear all white!!! That shall be the theme, spread the word!!!!!!”
