If you love music, you know those moments when you crank whatever is on the radio and totally JAM OUT to it. It gives you such a rush, that you forget about the negativity that may be around youThree years ago, a neuroscientist conducted a study to determine the 10 most UPLIFTING songs. He focused on technical things, such lyrical theme, musical key, and tempo. Here are the ’10 Most Uplifting Songs,’ according to science:
- “Don’t Stop Me Now”, Queen, 1978
- “Dancing Queen”, ABBA, 1976
- “Good Vibrations”, The Beach Boys, 1966

(What is the LEAST uplifting song of all time? Johnny Cash’s version of “Hurt” . . . “Nights in White Satin” by the Moody Blues
The wedding of PRINCE HARRY and MEGHAN MARKLE is going to be shown in 200 theaters around the country on Saturday, May 19th. So yeah, you can actually pay money to sit in a theater and watch.
Philadelphia sports fans are . . . well NOTORIOUS. NY Giants quarterback ELI MANNING knows that as well as anybody. He says, “Philly, you just gotta get used to. It takes a little while to get used to in Philly because you’re not used to seeing a 9-year-old cursing at you and talking about my mom and stuff.
Country stars tend to be night owls because that’s when they have to perform. That’s okay if you’re on your own, but it’s not the perfect schedule if you’re raising kids. It CAN work if the kid doesn’t sleep through the night yet. That’s what’s going on in BRANTLEY GILBERT’s life. He and his wife Amber have a pretty good division of labor for taking care of their five-month-old son Barrett. “In the morning I’m not present. I’m asleep, but I got the late night shift. So I put him down, and then I’ve got the monitor until about 3:00 or 4:00 AM. I go up and work . . . and then I come down and put the monitor on her side of the bed and get me some sleep.” Even though Amber has read a lot of baby books, they still askthe doctor questions. ” ‘Are we doing this right? Are we doing this wrong?’ The whole thing’s a curve ball. A moving target. You’re always learning.”
MATTHEW RAMSEY of OLD DOMINION was asked to describe his signature style, so he said, “I have a leather jacket problem. I feel like every time I turn around, I’m buying a leather jacket.” These aren’t bargain bin jackets, by the way. He finds himself drawn to the Tom Ford store in Vegas whenever the band’s in town. He’s not a gambler or a partier . . . so I guess that’s not such a bad vice, right?

BILL COSBY’s Kennedy Center honors have been rescinded.
CARRIE UNDERWOOD sheds a lot of tears in her “Cry Pretty” video. She cries in the shower, in bed, and in front of a mirror. She also struts around on stage a lot, so I think she’s saying that emotions get put on hold when it’s showtime. Carrie will be performing “Cry Pretty” this coming Sunday on “American Idol”. She’ll also be serving as a mentor.
Jason Aldean, Karen Fairchild, Jay DeMarcus, and “Nashville’s” Charles Esten all offered words of support for CHARLES KELLEY after he flubbed his “Star-Spangled Banner” performance at Saturday’s NHL playoff game.

There’s already a lyric video to the JASON ALDEAN – MIRANDA LAMBERT song “Drowns the Whiskey”. It’s mostly shots of the two of them in the studio recording it.
