Put the O Back in C untry

It's no secret that I love Shooter Jennings almost as much as I love Vince Vaughn. I'm not really all that attracted to Shooter, at least physically, but I enjoy his music as much as I enjoy VinceVaughn's movies. I stumbled upon Shooter Jennings one day while flipping through channels. I ended up on CMT and they had a short interview with him where he talked about playing his dad, Waylon Jennings (one of my all time favorites from my dad's collection), in the new Johnny Cash biopic. After the interview they played his video for 4th of July, which is quite a catchy song. The next time I was al Wal-Mart, I looked for his CD and it was only like ten bucks so I got it. I played it through that same night and loved it instantly. His lyrics were mature and poetic- quite refreshing in this day of the John Mayer variety of songwriters. Shooter mixed enough country with enough rock n' roll to suit my tastes perfectly.
Not long after buying his CD, and interesting post made it's way onto the Vince Vaughn discussion board I frequent. The topic of discussion was Vince's involvement with Drea deMateo. Someone posted a picture of her with Shooter Jennings at a CMT event and said that the two of them were a couple. I thought it kind of cool that Shooter Jennings would pop up on the board like that. This strange interconnection continued when I visited Shooter's website for the first time. I read his bio and it stated that he used to sing in the LA based band called Stargunn. I recognized the name immediately from the special features on the movie Made. Made is the movie that Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau (the guy from Swingers) made. They used many of their friends in the making of the movie, including Vince's high school friend as music supervisor. This friend also managed the band Stargunn and put one of their songs in the movie. I posted something about this on the same Drea deMateo thread and someone posted back that he was a music editor and had recently met Shooter Jennings at one of his shows. He introduced him to Drea and said that they had met at the premier for the movie Made. I find it quite serendipitous that this country singer that I started listening to has a weird connection to the actor that I've been obsessing over for the past year. But trust me everyone, it's all coincidence. Honestly (hehe) ;)
In any case, I joined a Shooter Jennings i-squad which is a grassroots promotional type thing. I get points for requesting him on the radio and CMT and GAC. I also am going to recieve a promo pack with postcards and flyers to hand out. I still have two CDs left, if anyone is interested. I just want you all to like him as much as I do.
