Jelly Roll was singing his song “Hard Fought Hallelujah” when a double rainbow appeared overhead.
Jelly smiled when he saw it and said, “Look at that! You can’t tell me God ain’t here.”
(Jelly’s duet partner for the song, Brandon Lake, was not present at the Philly show . . . but he posted about the amazing double rainbow later.)

Dolly Parton was recently interviewed and she talked about how she’s dealing with the grief of losing her husband and best friend of 60 years.
She said, “I am a person of faith, and I truly believe that I’m going to see him again someday . . . I really feel his presence. I just try to go on, because I know I have to.”
Here are some commonly misheard country song lyrics:
Brooks & Dunn’s song “I Am That Man” . . . but it really sounds like “I Am Batman.”
Luke Bryan’s song “Knockin’ Boots” . . . the line “birds need bees and I need whiskey” sounds like “birds need bees and I sneeze whiskey.”
John Michael Montgomery’s song “Be My Baby Tonight” . . . the line is “could ya, would ya, ain’t ya gonna” but it sounds like “coogie, woogie, ain’t ya gonna.”
And Darius Rucker’s song “Alright” . . . the line is “I’ve got spaghetti and” but all I can ever hear is “I’ve got spaghetti hand.”
