CLIMB TREE. (Just wanted to get that out there before everybody started posting it in the comments). By now there’s no doubt you’ve heard Luke Bryan‘s newest song, “Fish Hunt Golf Drink.” And if you haven’t heard it…well, let’s just take a look at the lyrics: “If I could have it my own way, you know Let me tell you how every day would go Wake up, coffee Camo, climb tree Wet line, eighteen Fish, hunt, golf, drink All fall, all spring, all summer long I’ll be livin’ it up and livin’ it on A country boy’s dream Fish, hunt, golf, drink” Yeah… The song quickly went viral with people mocking the lyrics, many saying that it sounds like something that would be written by AI and many upset at the image that the song gives to the country music genre. And look, it’s clearly no “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry.” The lyrics are goofy and shallow, but Luke has clapped back at some of the criticism by arguing that…it’s not meant to be some meaningful masterpiece: It’s just a fun summer song. “It’s called a fun song. Just listen and have fun. Go get on a boat quit scrolling on your phone all day.” Now, how you feel about that explanation probably depends on how seriously you take yourself. If you’re able to recognize that not all songs have to have some profound meaning, and there are some songs that are just goofy and stupid and that’s ok even if they’re not for you, then you’re probably able to just roll your eyes and move on with your day, which I think is the correct reaction here if you’re not a fan of the song. Because as it turns out, even Luke doesn’t take himself THAT seriously. Of course that’s nothing new: He’s always kinda been the goofy, drunk uncle of country music. He’s got a good sense of humor, shows off his personality, and has always been one of the more likeable guys in country music, even if you don’t like his music. So when Wheeler Walker Jr. posted a (VERY) not-safe-for-work parody of the song, even Luke got a kick out of it. Here’s Ol’ Wheeler’s parody: View this post on Instagram And while everybody else was busy being outraged about the original, Luke himself got a kick out of the parody and even hopped into Wheeler’s comments on Instagram: I mean, kudos to Luke for being able to laugh at himself. We’ve seen plenty of artists who aren’t able to handle criticism or mocking, but Luke’s always a good sport about it and clearly doesn’t take himself too seriously. It’s nice to see. Of course, this doesn’t mean I’m defending the song: It’s not going to be winning any Grammy awards anytime soon, and I’m not going to be adding it to any playlists. And I do get a kick out of all the “CLIMB TREE” comments any time Luke is mentioned online now. But when it comes to country songs that are “offensive” or a “disgrace to the genre,” I just feel like there are bigger fish to fry than a silly song like this one. And it seems like all the critics are taking the song way more seriously than Luke anyway.The post Luke Bryan Had A Hilarious Reaction To Wheeler Walker Jr.’s Extremely NSFW Parody Of “Fish Hunt Golf Drink” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

If the “Queen of Country Music” comes for the “King of Gas Stations” (Buc-ee Beaver himself), she best not miss. Dolly Parton is already an icon for countless reasons (music, philanthropy, theme parks, etc). Yet in classic Dolly fashion, she wanted to continue to innovate and further her brand, so she decided to get into the gas station business. The country music star announced late last year that she was partnering with the team behind the Tennessean Travel Stop to rebrand its flagship Cornersville, Tennessee location to the first ever Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop. That location just celebrated its grand opening earlier today. Dolly has previously said that she wanted to get into the gas station and truck stop business after spending years on the road as a touring artist. She plans on starting with this first location, and then expanding with more stops in the years to come: “I have spent the bulk of my life on the road, and more specifically on a bus. All the years spent visiting greasy spoon cafes, truck stops, and roadside pit stops have given me an understanding of what traveler’s desire on the road. Whether you are driving a truck, a bus, or a car, you want a place that feels like home and recharges you for the rest of your journey. I believe we will fill a void out there on the highways, all while bringing the heart and soul of Tennessee.” Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stops combine hospitality, retail, and entertainment elements, and as you might imagine, Dolly is the de facto mascot of the entire place. Her image and silhouette are on just about everything… which leads me to this question: Have you ever heard of or seen another gas station brand that sounds a whole lot like that? Maybe with a name that starts with a “B”? Dolly Parton sure seems to know about Buc-ee’s, because during the ribbon cutting ceremony, she not-so-subtly took a jab at the gas station brand that’s been redefining the gas station and roadside bathroom experience over the last couple of years. She didn’t name drop Buc-ee’s, but she did mention their mascot, and boldly claimed that they don’t see the popular gas station brand as a competitor: “I wanted to welcome all of you and say thank you for coming. We’re very excited about our truck stop: the Tennessean Travel Stop… I’m sure some of you are wondering why I wanted a truck stop. Well, I couldn’t leave it to beavers. I had to throw my scrawny little self in there. We’re not trying to compete with anybody. We don’t think we’ll have to. We think we’re going to have everything that you want or need.” Dolly Parton has entered the trucker stop business.

Granted, Dolly did say that she and her Tennessean Travel Stop didn’t see Buc-ee’s as a competitor. For a second, I thought she meant that both places would be able to coexist rather peacefully. But then the country music legend followed it up with “We don’t think we’ll have to,” and that’s when I really knew that the gas station rivalry was on. Let the “Dolly and Buc-ee’s Battle for Gas Station Supremacy” begin.The post Dolly Parton Calls Out Buc-ee’s During Opening Of Her Tennessean Travel Stop: “I Couldn’t Leave It To Beavers” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
