Show Notes Episode 320: Call Me...Chris Gaines

This week Host Dave Bledsoe INSISTS he is an aging rock star by the name of Duke Blaze and is not responsible for the bartabs incurred by this Dave Bledsoe character. (It...did not work) On the show this week we examine the Life of Chris Gaines who blazed like a falling star for about three months and then crashed into the ocean. (Honestly, we thought this podcast would do the same!)

Along the way, we learn that Dave used to dress in snakeskin boots and a big dumb hat because he thought it would get him laid. (It didn’t) Then we dive into the career of a country music legend who changed the songs drunks sing in bars forever! (Give it a shot, just start singing “Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots” and see what happens!) Then we recall that time Garth thought he might play Major League Baseball. (Forgot about that didn’t you!) Finally we get around to talking about the odd moment in late 1999 when Garth Brooks decided he wanted to be a sex addicted Australian rock star in the movies, and everyone laughed and laughed and laughed. (Honestly, SNL was down right MEAN about it!)

Our Sponsor this week is the new music documentary The Diamond Dave Project, and movie 30 years in the faking! We open the show with WH1’s Behind the Music and close with Grover Anderson in a loving tribute to Chris Gaines.
