The Good Ole' Home of Jack Daniels....

In an non-sports related tid bit......

Country music singer Gretchen Wilson has a mantel full of awards in her Lebanon
home. Gretchen Wilson says she wanted to be an example for her 7-year-old
daughter. Her first radio single, "Redneck Woman," spent five weeks at No. 1 on
Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart and it earned her a 2005 Grammy. Her debut
album sold 4.5 million copies. Despite all her successes, the 34-year-old singer and songwriter was one of 20 percent of Tennesseans without a high school
diploma.
But no longer. Wilson, who dropped out in ninth grade, passed her
General Educational Development exam in April and will don a cap and gown during
a May 15 graduation ceremony.



** I just liked the "Bolded statement". No commentary, none needed. Go Vols!
