Shooter Jennings Remembers The “Kind & Talented” Brad Arnold With Rare Insight About How He Performed: “I Think About That All The Time”

Super Bowl LX didn’t bring the world a very competitive football game (the Seattle Seahawks pummeled the New England Patriots). But it did present quite the halftime show spectacle, and I say that because it’s the first time in my memory that there were two halftime shows that happened at the same time. If you didn’t touch the dial (old phrase, I know), then you watched […]
