Everything Beyonce touches turns into gold, solid gold soul, even country music.

Her latest single, Texas Holm is a number one hit on the Billboard country charts,

making her the first black woman to ever achieve such a milestone in a genre of music that despite its roots in

black culture has traditionally excluded artists of color. Even Dolly Parton is a big fan and congratulated

Today, comedian Matt Brown joins us to talk about the popularity of Beyoncé's Texas Holden

and how popular culture is a powerful tool in breaking down barriers of inequality.

Listen as we look back on the new documentary Thriller 40 that examines how Michael Jackson's

Plus, did Beyonce's Texas Holden rip off the theme song from Franklin to Turtle, a Canadian kids cartoon?

Ricky Martin has a foot fetish.
