David Nail Hopes ‘MoneyBall’ Gets Oscar Love This Sunday

David Nail MLB All Star

David Nail is a baseball fan having been a part of the CMT series ‘Making The Team’ where he tried out for his hometown baseball team the St. Louis Cardinals.  David says he enjoys sports and Brad Pitt so an Oscar would be cool for MoneyBall.

“I know MoneyBall is getting a lot of attention, obviously being a sports fan and I enjoy Brad Pitts work, hopefully he will do well there.” David told Dan Van – Prep Producer from Albright & O’Malley

David was then asked if he would follow in the footsteps of some of the others whom have hit the big and small screens like Taylor Swift and Miranda Lambert and do some acting.

“If someone asked us, I guess to do it we’d be flattered, I’ve acted I guess somewhat in all my videos and I’ll let that work speak for itself whether it’s good or bad I don’t consider myself a pro by any means.” Nail says.

David is impressed by Taylor, Miranda, Blake and Keith whom all seem to be hitting the screen lately.

“They definitely blow my mine, how they can turn it on and off so quickly, but it’s not something I am actively seeking out.”

David’s number one single, ‘Let It Rain’ was inspired in the film The Last Kiss starring Zach Braff.

Sugarland Responds to Indiana Stage Collapse Lawsuit

Sugarland

Sugarland is responding to claims of negligence filed against it in a civil lawsuit tied to the tragic collapse of state rigging at the Indiana State Fair last summer.

To make sure that I get all of the details correctly I am going to post the article directly from USA Today so you can gather your own facts.  We know that this is a sensitive subject for those who have friends or family who were affected.

via USAToday.com

Several victims filed a lawsuit Nov. 22 in Marion Superior Court, claiming that negligence on the part of Sugarland and other companies contributed to the tragedy.

Seven people were killed and more than 40 were injured when a gust of wind toppled equipment that hung over the stage before the group’s Aug. 13 concert.

In its response to the lawsuit, Sugarland claims the stage collapse was the result of a “gust of wind of unprecedented intensity” and as such was “a true accident, or act of God.”

They also added that “they had nothing to do with the construction of the venue” — the state fair stage where their concert was to have been held.

Sugarland also said that the plaintiff’s claims were caused by “an open and obvious danger,” adding that some or all of the plaintiff’s injuries “resulted from their own fault.”

Sugarland also identified other parties that it said were in part responsible for the tragedy, including Indiana State Fair officials, Indiana State Police, members of the labor union who helped construct the stage and the state of Indiana.

In their response, Sugarland also denied allegations in the earlier lawsuit that said the band had supervisory authority over the setup of the State Fair stage.

“Lucky Star Inc. (the band’s ownership company) did not have any control over the size of the stage nor the public address system, as this was all provided for by the Indiana Fair Board,” Sugarland said in its response.

A report released Feb. 8 by the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration found that the stage scaffolding was not properly erected and that Mid-America had not inspected the rigging during its construction or after it was erected.

The agency issued more than $80,000 in fines for violations that occurred before the stage was hit by a blast of wind as country duo Sugarland was about to perform.

Mid-America sharply criticized the report.

According to the civil lawsuit filed in November, the companies and the band failed to build a safe stage and should have paid more attention to the weather that evening. When the weather worsened, the lawsuit states, the concert should have been canceled and the crowd evacuated.

The families or estates of four people who died in the accident are listed as plaintiffs in the lawsuit, as well as many other victims who were injured.

Defendants also include concert producer Live Nation, ESG Security, the stagehands’ union and other companies involved with Sugarland’s concert.

The lawsuit asks the court to award damages and attorneys’ fees.

A statement was posted on SugarlandMusic.com from their Manager today:

“Sadly when a tragedy occurs, people want to point fingers and try to sensationalize the disaster. The single most important thing to Sugarland, are their fans.  Their support and love over the past 9 years has been unmatched.  For anyone to think otherwise is completely devastating to them,” states Gail Gellman, Sugarland’s manager.
