CMA AWARDS.JPGKix Brooks, one half of country duo Brooks & Dunn, responds to Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama using their song, "Only In America" last night during the Democratic National Convention:

"Seems ironic that the same song Bush used at the Republican Convention last election would be used by Obama and the Democrats now," Mr. Brooks said in a prepared statement. "Very flattering to know our song crossed parties and potentially inspires all Americans."

Obama and Bush apparently dig the same music

Barack Obama's a little bit country and a little bit rock 'n' roll. Or at least that's the message he delivered Thursday night by walking onstage at Invesco Field to U2's "City of Blinding Lights" (his usual entrance song) and exiting with Brooks & Dunn's "Only In America." Strangely enough, George W. Bush used that same flag-waving country hit during his 2004 re-election campaign.

Solange flip-flops on sisterly support

O....kay: first Solange put a reporter on blast for even mentioning her sister Beyonce during a televised interview, but the next day, for another network, she lets Mama Tina AND Big Sis accompany her to the interview? What a difference a day makes!

Which one is it Ms. Knowles; either you want to become successful on your own, or you want to expoit the family ties for all they're worth. Make up your mind to be either SoL-Angel or Beyonce's Baby Sister, and try not to trip if your indecision throws people off. After all, isn't it ultimately about the music?
