She’s out. This year is the 250th birthday for our great nation, and there are massive celebrations being planned for all around the country. The celebrations are being planned by Freedom 250, which is a non-partisan organization responsible for putting together all the festivities, though Freedom 250 was launched by President Donald Trump to spearhead his specific vision for the 250th anniversary events, so many debate whether or not the entity itself is truly “non-partisan,” which has led several artists […]

Mind = blown. Tracy Lawrence is one of the most underrated artists of the ’90s, with a catalog that’s STACKED with hits like “Time Marches On,” “Alibis,” “Texas Tornado,” “If the Good Die Young,” and so many more.
