There is an artist played on the Top 40 Country radio stationa whose songs I enjoy but I don't really know much about him.

I got a chance to watch Country Music Television and saw a couple of videos by this artist. Turns out he's African American. Not exactly a common occurrence in Top 40 Country. I was intrigued and he looked familiar to me.

So I googled him. He was the lead singer from Hootie and The Blowfish - who I only knew as Hootie... and I now know as country singer Darius Ruckers. And I like him. Huh.

    The thing that is funny about that is so many people know him as Hootie. The band is called hottie and the blow fish so most people assume that it is like Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band. I think the fact that him being a black lead singer contributes to this a little bit but if he where white people would still think the same way but Hottie sounds like a "Hip Cat" or a Jazzy Name. I'm glad you also like his country music.
