Welcome to the New York Times

pop cast, you're hopefully not too futile attempt

at a warm embrace of music news and criticism. I'm my daddy's issue.

He held me in his arms,

and he taught me to be strong.

He told me when he's gone and he's what to do.

When trouble comes to town,

a little like me come around.

Oh, my daddy says you.

Oh, my daddy said shoot. My daddy said shoot.

My daddy said shoot.

My daddy said shoot. Oh boy did he. That's daddy lessons. That's a second amendment edit yes uh...

So we will begin by talking about the CMA Awards.
