Hootie wins a CMA!

HUGE congratulations and plus 7 go out to Darius Rucker (you know him better as Hootie) for not only being able to crossover from Pop to Country and win a CMA, but also being the very first African-American to win a CMA ever.

That reeks of total stellarocity, and I just decided I'm naming my first-born son Hootie.

Kanye spoof at CMAs

Plus 9 points to Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, and 88-year-old Little Jimmy Dickens for spoofing Kanye's interruption of Taylor Swift at the VMAs a few months ago last night at the Country Music Awards. Carrie was talking up Brad's video for Welcome to the Future, when Little Jimmy came up and pulled a Kanye. Check it out below, capped off by one of the best lines Brad will ever say in his lifetime.
