We have been online for about 10 months now. And during these past 10 months I have received some of the strangest, outlandish and down right silly emails. Some I post, a lot I don’t and some would cause a lot of trouble.
I think that the email that I received today kinda takes the cake. I really wasn’t sure what to do with it so I am just going to post it from beginning to end.
The subject of the email says: I got something to say
Then the only info in the body of the email is this:
But I can’t tell you who I am – Hank Williams Jr LOVES raw eggs!
So take this news and do with it what you will. Thank you to the anonymous reader who sent us the email. Have a great weekend!

We hope that everyone had a safe and Happy New Year. Mine was very uneventful but fun. We took our 2 & 3 year old bowling – it was pretty funny. Then we came home and played board games with family until midnight. I know – I sound like an old women. I promise i’m not. There was just NOTHING going on in town that interested me.
Craig Morgan rang in the new year at the Wildhorse Saloon. From the reviews that I have read it was a decent show. (If you were there email us at countrymusictattletale@yahoo.com and let us know how it was).
Of coarse the Trace Adkins concert at the Sommet Center in Nashville was cancelled due to low ticket sales. Word is Trace spend the New Year with his family and relaxing.
As you already know Taylor Swift rang in the New Year in New York City with BFF Kellie Pickler. They were on Dick Clark’s Rockin New Years Eve show. I will be honest I didn’t see her perform but I did see her at the end standing within one square foot as her ex Jonas Brother. She was a good sport but the look on her face was one of two things. 1.) It’s freezing out here and I just want some Starbucks or 2.) Why the hell do they have me standing so close to that stupid Jonas Brother who broke up with me over the phone!
Maybe it was choice number 1. Her Twitter account was updated and said: “most likely have frostbite. THAT was fun!”
Here is a YouTube video from her performance last night. Still love Taylor. Think she looks amazing but doesn’t sound good at all. Great performer but doesn’t have the vocals.
