Here's a "pull back the curtain on Oz" moment for some of you.  When your professional life is spent in a country music deep dive, when you listen to music in your private life, it is rarely country music.

At least that's the way it is with us.

Think of it this way...if you're a chef at an Italian restaurant, you don't go home and crave spaghetti and meatballs.

Anyway, one of the most infectious songs of the year is "Bad Guy" from an UBER-talented 17-year-old named, Billie Eilish.  I haven't been able to get it out of my head all summer.

She performed it on Saturday Night Live the other night and to say it was unique is an understatement-especially considering it was, well, "live."

Even if you've NEVER heard the song before or don't like her kind of music, check this out, it's wild.

Yeah, like she was walking on the walls and ceiling.  HOW'D SHE DO THAT?
