John Rich believes a few common denominators bring people together. Just before his electric CMA Fest performance, the Big & Rich singer exclusively told Fox News Digital that his Redneck Riviera whiskey brand and bar in Nashville stands for something – and he has faith that a growing population does, too. The "Save a Horse" singer pulled Bud Light from his Nashville bar in April amid controversy with a Budweiser marketing campaign featuring transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney.
He said the brew used to be his biggest seller, but with the new ads, Rich couldn't get customers to buy Bud Light. "I think people finally had enough of woke culture being right in their face like a bullhorn every time they turn around," he said.
"You know, at the end of a hard-working day, you want to have a cold beer.That's like your reward for working hard all day.The last thing any man or woman wants is to have culture slammed right up in their face.They just don't want that." He added, "So they rejected it, rejected it wholeheartedly, and we moved on to other beers." Instead of throwing out the beer, he let his customers "decide" what to do. "Well, five or six days go by, and my general manager calls me, says, 'Well, we've sold a total of zero Bud Lights,'" Rich recalled. "I said, ‘Well, how much Bud Light are we sitting on down there?’ He said, ‘118 cases and 8 kegs.
What do you want me to do with it?’" Rich's manager said the customers wouldn't "touch" the Bud Light following the failed ad campaign. "The last thing any man or woman wants is to have culture slammed right up in their face.They just don't want that." — John Rich "I said, ‘Well, call the distributor and have him come pick it up.’ So it's the first time, I think, in

Bob Verini Here’s a thought experiment. Imagine Jack Ryan or Jason Bourne as a cranky, retired septuagenarian, body all achin’ and racked with pain after a lifetime of dangerous missions.

John Rich is less concerned with the advancements in artificial intelligence than he is with the expansion of country music, questioning if the technology could produce better quality music than what country artists are releasing now.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Wes Anderson announced in an interview with IndieWire that his upcoming Netflix movie “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar,” based on Roald Dahl’s 1977 short story collection, will only be 37 minutes long. The film is Anderson’s second Dahl adaptation after “Fantastic Mr. Fox” and stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Ralph Fiennes, Dev Patel and Ben Kingsley. Notably, “Henry Sugar” marks Anderson’s first Netflix original. He told IndieWire that collaborating with the streamer was more out of necessity than personal preference. “In my case it’s a little bit of a weird thing,” Anderson said about partnering with Netflix. “I knew Roald Dahl since before we made ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox.’ I met Lindsay Dahl, his widow, when we were shooting ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’ like 20 years ago. For years I wanted to do ‘Henry Sugar.’ They set this story aside for me because I was friends with them. Lindsay kind of handed the torch to Luke, Dahl’s grandson. So I had this waiting for me. But I really couldn’t figure out the approach. I knew what I liked in the story was the writing of it, Dahl’s words. I couldn’t find the answer, and then suddenly I did. It’s not a feature film. It’s like 37 minutes or something. But by the time I was ready to do it, the Dahl family no longer had the rights at all. They had sold the whole deal to Netflix.”
Garth Brooks wants to keep things friendly on lower Broadway. The country star spoke out about being inclusive amid a firestorm of transphobic hate directed at a popular beer company. During a panel conversation at Billboard Country Live during CMA Fest last week, Brooks touched on the recent backlash aimed at Bud Light after the brand partnered with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney for an ad campaign earlier this year. Answering a question about his Friends In Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk, which is expected to open in the near future in Nashville's South Broadway District, Brooks confirmed that he has full intentions of keeping Bud Light stocked behind the bar. «I know this sounds corny,» he said of the venue.

That's always been me," he said on his livestream "Inside Studio G." "I get it, everybody’s got their opinions.
