In this episode of the Light Beer Dark Money podcast, Sean Noble and Chris Clements break down everything from Trump's Kennedy Center Honors shake-up to Minnesota's exploding COVID fraud scandal, the Candace Owens meltdown on the right, and the future of Homeland Security under Kristi Noem and Glenn Youngkin rumors. They kick things off with Christmas chaos at home, a fallen tree, bad backs and simple fitness that actually works in your “advanced years,” then pivot into how Donald Trump took over the Kennedy Center Honors: firing the old board, bringing in Rick Grenell to clean up the grift, and personally helping pick honorees like Sylvester Stallone, KISS, Gloria Gaynor, George Strait and Michael Crawford. From there, they revisit the growing fraud scandal in Minnesota—what DOJ calls the largest COVID fraud scheme in the country—where estimates have ballooned from $1 billion to as much as $8 billion routed through nonprofits tied to the Somali community. Sean and Chris talk about how Governor Tim Walz, Ilhan Omar and other Democrats are trying to explain it away while Republicans say they've been warning about abuse of nonprofit networks and welfare money for years. Next up is the “right-wing war” after Charlie Kirk's assassination. They dig into Tucker Carlson on defense, Candace Owens going off the rails with wild conspiracies about Israel, pastors and Turning Point, Tim Pool's profane rant, Marjorie Taylor Greene bailing out of Congress, and how “clicks and coin” are distorting conservative media, grift culture, and what it means to actually serve the public. In the final act, Sean and Chris break down Kristi Noem's shaky tenure at Homeland Security, the chatter that Glenn Youngkin could replace her, and why DHS has become a post-9/11 Big Government monster. They close by reacting to Glenn Beck's AI “George Washington” video on moral decline, OnlyFans and American culture, and why faith, family, freedom, free enterprise and personal virtue still matter if we want to save Western civilization.

MUSICThe three surviving founding members of KISS -- Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and Peter Criss -- paid a visit to The White House on Saturday where President Trump recognized them as one of this year's five recipients of the Kennedy Center Honors, which is presented to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to American culture. Guitarist Ace Frehley, who died in October following a fall at his New Jersey home, was represented by his daughter Monique. https://youtu.be/MoEAlhUTVnEFollowing the ceremony in the Oval Office, the State Department hosted a dinner for the honorees, which also included actors Sylvester Stallone and Michael Crawford, country singer George Strait, and R&B singer Gloria Gaynor. Taking the podium there, the President spoke in more detail about each recipient.With a chair left empty in memory of Ace Frehley, KISS were honored by Garth Brooks, who, upon taking the stage said, “I see some faces of confusion. No we are in the right segment of the show, people” before performing "Shout it Out Loud."Also paying tribute were Criss Angel, Marcus King, and Cheap Trick who ended the show with "Rock and Roll All Nite."Highlights of the show will air on CBS and Paramount+ on December 23rd. Garbage was performing in Australia recently, and apparently someone started tossing a beach ball around. Shirley stopped the show to RANT about the beach balls . . . sarcastically shouting, "Guy with your big [effing] beach ball. Ooh, I'm so scared of you. So thrilled by you. What [an effing D-bag]." https://consequence.net/2025/12/garbage-shirley-manson-beach-ball-video/ TVMiley Cyrus gagged while describing this fear on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Thursday night. It's caused such a problem in her daily life, that she's even known for being a Grinch during Christmastime because of her issue with wrapping paper. She has an issue with how it feels, and the way it sounds, especially if it's touched by DRY hands, which is common during winter.

Here they are:1. Non-stop working and challenging yourself. Quote, "I work 12-, 14-hour days on sets and keep up with everyone. I don't need cue cards . . . I learn pages after pages and I have a lot of energy . . . "I keep working, and I keep pushing myself to be better . . . because I love what I do . . . it keeps me young." 2. Spending time with family, and having active friends. Quote, "I have grandchildren and my own children, some of whom are in their early 40s. I'm part of their social circle. So I've never been sort of put in the group of, 'Oh, now you're an older person . . .' Not at all. Quite the opposite." 3. Don't dismiss new things, embrace them, and join in. Jane says she's "much more open-minded" about life now, and is "not stuck in my ways." She adds, "People say, 'Are you going to wind down?' I go, 'I am winding UP' I am loving life. NOW is it . . . I only want to do things that I'm passionate about . . . and I make sure that, even if it's work, that I turn it into a fun life experience."

In this episode of Words With Wista, we're unpacking America's latest circus: the Supreme Court entertaining Trump's mission to end birthright citizenship, the National Park Service dropping free admission on MLK Day and Juneteenth while adding Trump's birthday, and Senator Bernie Moreno trying to make dual citizens pick a side like it's Survivor. We get into Trump vowing to send American companies to Congo and Rwanda to scoop up rare earth assets, Amazon plotting its own postal service, and Klarna rolling out membership tiers that cost more than people's groceries while Americans juggle $1.23 trillion in credit card debt. Major record labels want pricier streaming, Cinnabon fired an employee after a discriminatory incident caught on camera but supporters still donated over $50K to her, and a TikToker checked a commenter for his prejudiced remark by reminding him his Grindr account exists, that he's married, and that she will be telling his wife. The Kennedy Center Honors also sparked conversation after Trump presented awards to Sylvester Stallone, KISS, Michael Crawford, George Strait, and especially Gloria Gaynor, with many calling out the irony of the “I Will Survive” icon receiving honors while being a known supporter of the president. Plus, the Streamer Awards imploded under FanFan's jokes, the World Cup draw turned into a weird PR stunt for Trump, and Haiti lands a dream-but-terrifying group with Brazil, Morocco, and Scotland. A buffet of nonsense. IG: itswista Podcast IG: wordswithwista Substack: wordswithwista
The three of us went to the Alabama concert last night! Nancy got extremely upset that some people didn’t stand up for the National Anthem. Nancy got a massage on Friday and was offered aroma therapy during it. She picked out a cinnamon scent and the woman started massaging her.

We take a deep dive into the world of AI and music with artists Dylan Heidt and Jeff Dayton.Jeff Dayton is an American musician, singer, producer and songwriter best known as being the bandleader for Glen Campbell and the Jeff Dayton Band for 15 years, plus touring with Kenny Chesney and Lee Greenwood.Dayton performed with club bands in the upper Midwest, including a year with the KO Band, which was fronted by Bob Dylan studio musician Kevin Odegard. Their producer was David Z and their drummer a young Bobby "Z" Rivkin.Dayton moved to Fountain Hills, Arizona and formed the Dayton-Privett Band with Mark Prentice, Tom Sawyer and Ron Privett. After 2 years, Privett left the band, and was replaced with Dave Watson; the band was renamed High Noon Band and continued until the band went their separate ways.

The Jay Franze Show: Your backstage pass to the entertainment industry
Ever wondered why the “darkest” country songs linger long after the last note fades? We crack open that list and find more than shock value—there's craft, confession, and a lineage of storytelling that made the genre brave. From murder ballads to Whiskey Lullaby, we unpack what makes a song haunt you and why those narratives still matter.Then we sprint through the modern pulse: Jelly Roll's global moment and community work, stacked festival lineups, Abbey Road sessions, and the not-so-silent rise of subtitles in streaming. Captions might sound boring, but they're changing how fans absorb lyrics and stories, especially in a word-first genre like country. We also talk about videos that miss the mark and why listeners instantly sense when visuals don't serve the song.The centerpiece is a rowdy, smart bracket to crown the best album of all time. You sent your picks—Rumours, Abbey Road, Pet Sounds, Tapestry, Van Halen I, The Wall, George Strait, Shania, Garth—and we fought it out. Journey's Escape made a bold run, but Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon took the crown for cohesion, sequencing, and sheer sonic gravity. Along the way, we teased apart “favorite” versus “best,” and what a truly great album must do from first second to last.We close with charts and indie highlights, then an ear-opening A/B test: a studio cut vs an AI-recreated version of the same song. The AI track is polished and passable, but side-by-side it lacks depth, stereo motion, cymbal realism, and those tiny human edges at the ends of phrases that make a vocal feel lived. It's not anti-tech—it's pro-feel. And the mailbag nails the theme: country isn't a costume; it's a culture. Americana is carrying a slice of that soul, and live shows still matter because sweat and risk can't be automated.Hit play for sharp opinions, a few laughs, and a lot of heart. If you enjoyed the ride, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop your “best album ever” in a review—we'll read the spiciest ones on air.Send us a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Contact: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Services: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Books: https://jayfranze.com/books/ Merchandise Merchandise: https://jayfranze.com/merchandise/ Support Support: https://jayfranze.com/support/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/
Post Malone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Post Malone has been buzzing everywhere this week as rumors reach a fever pitch that he'll headline the Dallas Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day halftime show for the 2025 Red Kettle Kickoff. The Dallas Cowboys and the Salvation Army have dropped heavy hints on social media, including visuals of an eighteen-wheeler painted in Post's signature Bud Light blue and a Dak Prescott bobblehead nodding to his “Wow.” lyrics, all but confirming Malone as the performer. Outlets ranging from Holler Country to Whiskey Riff and MySanAntonio are calling his appearance a near lock, though as of today the official announcement is still pending. If true, this slot would be milestone territory as the Cowboys' Thanksgiving show is widely dubbed “second to the Super Bowl” in terms of exposure, and would only deepen Posty's bond with his home state and country music roots.Speaking of country, Malone remains planted firmly in his “country era.” His 2024 album F-1 Trillion continues to perform, and recent behind-the-scenes chatter points toward another country album in the pipeline for 2026. Chart-wise, his career-retrospective The Diamond Collection is still moving units, sitting at number 17 on Hits Daily Double's Top 50 albums for November 7, indicating sustained interest across genres.Social media has been a mixed bag for Post. Instagram analytics show a slight dip of 0.19 percent in followers over the month, holding steady at just under 27 million. Engagement remains respectable, with an average of 142,000 likes and 750 comments per post, but experts note his income from Instagram is trending downward after peaking in 2024. On the lighter side, his humility has gone viral again: a TikTok video of Malone sweetly interacting with a young fan at a restaurant has millions calling him the “nicest guy in music,” reinforcing his reputation for genuine kindness.In lighter headlines, Post dressed up as himself for Halloween and managed to walk Bourbon Street unrecognized, telling Theo Von's podcast all it took was his usual flannel shirt and lack of facial tattoos to go incognito. Meanwhile, fans are humorously campaigning for him to get a Queer Eye makeover, as Karamo Brown from the Netflix show revealed on X. Post himself joked that his fans “just think I'm ugly and smell,” showing classic self-deprecation but also love for the show.Businesswise, his multimillion-dollar tequila venture with Dre London continues to earn buzz, but no new business initiatives have been confirmed this week. On the personal front, Post is still reflecting on fatherhood in recent interviews, sharing adorable anecdotes about his three-year-old daughter's love of George Strait and emphasizing how family has grounded him amid career highs.In sum, with his likely Cowboys Thanksgiving performance, steady music sales, and relentless viral likability, Post Malone continues to prove he is not only a superstar but a cultural touchstone—one who can headline a stadium, charm a child, and step incognito through New Orleans, all in the same week.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Bad Bunny has dominated headlines and social channels over the past week, largely due to his much-anticipated upcoming performance as the Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner. The decision by the NFL to make him the centerpiece of Super Bowl LX has ignited a significant controversy, with criticism pouring in from conservative politicians and commentators. Donald Trump himself slammed the choice as “absolutely ridiculous,” and right-wing groups like Turning Point USA have announced plans for their own rival halftime programming scheduled to air at the same time. All of this has stoked debate about Latino representation as some critics—including political figures—view Bad Bunny's prominence as a challenge to what they call “the sanctity of the American game,” according to Forge Press.Social media remains divided. Bad Bunny's fans have expressed overwhelming pride and excitement about the upcoming performance, pointing to his success in shaping a narrative of Latino pride and inclusion. Critics, on the other hand, have called for a boycott, even launching petitions demanding that the NFL replace him with a country artist like George Strait. This episode comes at a charged moment, as intensified ICE raids and immigration crackdowns have deeply affected Latino communities. Bad Bunny has spoken openly about skipping U.S. tour dates out of concern for fan safety in light of potential ICE actions, as reported by I-D magazine and covered widely online.A Quinnipiac University poll released this week shows just how divided Americans are over Bad Bunny's halftime gig. Nearly three-quarters of Democrats approve of the NFL decision, while 63 percent of Republicans disapprove. His strongest support comes from listeners under 34 and Hispanic respondents. The performance has become a symbol, intentionally or not, of broader cultural tension and shifting demographics in American life. When hosting SNL's season premiere recently, Bad Bunny addressed non-Spanish speakers with a playful jab: “You have four months to learn,” a nod to his predominately Spanish-language repertoire.In music news, there's substantial excitement over the release of Bad Bunny's new album “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” scheduled to drop on January 5, 2025. The announcement was delivered through a moving teaser video featuring Puerto Rican film legend Jacobo Morales, delving into themes of nostalgia and memory. Early singles from the album—such as “Pitorro De Coco” and “El Clúb”—are already gaining traction on streaming platforms, with emotional lyrics centering on heartbreak and reflection. Critics anticipate the new album will be his most personal yet, showing an introspective side to the Puerto Rican superstar, as NME and Variety have reported.Bad Bunny's presence is reshaping tourism in Puerto Rico as well. His concert residency “No me quiero ir de aquí” has turned San Juan into a cultural hotspot, driving record hotel occupancy and boosting local economic growth, according to an analysis from Moody's Analytics cited by Bloomberg. The artist's embrace of Puerto Rican identity is attracting fans and travelers to the island, making tourism more about transformative experience than simple leisure. For travelers, Bad Bunny's music and platform create an emotional connection to Puerto Rico that's redefining tourism in 2025.On streaming platforms, Bad Bunny continues to break records, with billions of listens credited to his catalog this year alone. And his influence extends even further, popping up in the recent trailer for Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore 2 and making headlines with his remarkable watch collection worn at the IHeartRadio Music Awards.That's what's happening with Bad Bunny right now—where music, politics, and pop culture are colliding in real time.

The Jay Franze Show: Your backstage pass to the entertainment industry
What actually earns a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame—longevity, hits, or the kind of influence that changes what country sounds like? We dig into the real criteria and test the hype with a clear-eyed look at names like Alison Krauss, Brad Paisley, Crystal Gayle, Dwight Yoakam, Faith Hill, and more. Some feel overdue, others feel inevitable, and a few favorites might benefit from time cooking into legacy. With only three inductees selected each year across rotating categories, the bar isn't just high—it's selective by design.From there, we zoom out to what's shaping country now. Kenny Chesney's high-tech Sphere dates raise the production ceiling, George Strait's long-awaited stadium return brings tradition back to center stage, and Chris Young's new label era hints at a refreshed voice with deeper songwriting. We swap stories about artist rivalries, the power of small-venue touring, and how TV platforms keep catalog songs alive with surprising new performances. We also spotlight rising talent like Brian Fuller and revisit the studio lineage that built the modern sound—John and Martina McBride's Blackbird Studios, Tony Brown's classic touch, and Dan Huff's guitar-forward polish.Then we put our money where our mouth is: can AI co-write and produce a track that stands up to human-made? We fed it detailed direction—anthemic chorus, dynamic bridge, specific drum feel, vocal phrasing, even the final held note and guitar tag—and got a shockingly usable demo. It still can't replace a seasoned session leader's judgment or the nuance of live players, but as a demo engine for indie artists, it's a game-changer. Try twenty ideas fast, pick the strongest, and take that one to the studio with confidence.Episode LinksJeff King: https://jayfranze.com/episode6/Bob Bullock: https://jayfranze.com/episode28/MaKenzie Phipps: https://jayfranze.com/episode73/Bruce Tarletsky: https://jayfranze.com/episode81/Robby Johnson: https://jayfranze.com/episode95/Billie Jo Jones: https://jayfranze.com/episode98/Send us a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Contact: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Consulting: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Books: https://jayfranze.com/books/ Merchandise Merchandise: https://jayfranze.com/merchandise/ Support Support: https://jayfranze.com/support/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/

Bad Bunny, known to his fans as Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is at the center of a national conversation after being announced as the headliner for the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, set to take place on February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The NFL, in partnership with Apple Music, made the announcement in late September, setting the stage for what promises to be an explosive, globally watched performance. In his statement released by the NFL, Bad Bunny dedicated the honor to his community, his culture, and the legacy of those who paved the road for Latin artists, saying what he's experiencing “transcends my individual journey” and highlighting the broader impact for Puerto Rican and Latin American communities.Online and in mainstream outlets, the news immediately set off a firestorm of debate. Some critics, especially among right-wing media and political commentators, have reacted negatively to Bad Bunny's selection as Super Bowl headliner. The criticisms have focused on his use of Spanish in his music—with some arguing that a Super Bowl show in anything but English is un-American—as well as his outspoken criticism of certain U.S. administrations, particularly Donald Trump's. Outlets like The Benny Show and commentators such as Corey Lewandowski and Kristi Noem described Bad Bunny's performance as “shameful,” and Turning Point USA has announced a rival “All-American Halftime Show” as a form of protest. Meanwhile, a petition is circulating, mostly among country music fans, to replace Bad Bunny with George Strait—though it's not being taken seriously in music circles and is considered highly unlikely.Bad Bunny's fans and supporters are rallying behind him on social media, with many emphasizing that Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory and praising the way his music brings Latin culture to the global stage. For defenders, his selections as headliner is not just deserved, but overdue. Jay-Z, who is involved with NFL halftime show curation, stated he feels “privileged” to have Bad Bunny on “the largest platform in the world,” calling his achievements major for Puerto Rico and Latin music in general.Adding to the drama, Bad Bunny's decision not to perform tour dates in the United States this year has also garnered attention. According to USA Today, he made this choice to protect his largely Latin fanbase, expressing concern that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities at concerts could harm his fans. Rumors have even circulated online that ICE will be present at the Super Bowl, though media sources suggest these are little more than conspiracy talk designed to stoke controversy.Musically, Bad Bunny continues to dominate. His sixth studio album, “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS,” released earlier this year, is being hailed as one of 2025's best pop releases. With 17 tracks blending traditional Puerto Rican genres like plena and salsa with modern reggaeton and Latin pop, critics are celebrating the album's powerful nostalgia and social commentary. The song “DtMF” has hit over a billion streams on Spotify and spawned a viral TikTok trend centered on nostalgia and regret, with users posting cherished photos to the track's chorus. His recent performances in Puerto Rico have generated major economic boosts for the island, and his influence runs so deep that universities such as Emory and Yale have launched courses centered on his cultural impact.With only a few months left in 2025, Bad Bunny is more than a pop star—he is an evolving, influential force in music and culture. Listeners are connecting not just to his beats, but to his vision and message, and his reach has never been greater.Thank you for tuning in. Come back next week for more.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 4: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Hey have fun watching Trump's "listening exercise" with Putin in Alaska today. No, Russia. No, Alaska. I don’t know any more. Listening exercise.” Trump listening to Putin telling him what to do. No crap. This is simple. Trump and Putin will leave this photo-op having agreed on something utterly agreeable to Putin. Like the cease fire Axios reports Trump told European leaders yesterday he really wants. You know what THAT could be: Putin will agree to a cease-fire if Ukraine will stop annoying Putin by defending its territory. Then Trump will claim a victory. Then Ukraine will reject it – although President Zelensky’s real play is to say it is too naïve an idea to even merit a comment, and any child can see that – then Trump will blame Zelensky and say he resolved the war except for the war part. That Zelensky screwed it up. Actually it may be worse. The Times of London headline: “US and Russia ‘propose West Bank-style occupation of Ukraine." Per its source close to the U.S. national security council: "It’ll just be like Israel occupies the West Bank. With a governor, with an economic situation that goes into Russia, not Ukraine. But it’ll still be Ukraine, because … Ukraine will never give up its sovereignty. But the reality is it’ll be occupied territory and the model is Palestine.” THIS IS THE TEST MARKETING OF THE MILITARY DICTATORSHIP: Trump says sure he'll go to Congress to get the use of troops authorized in DC past the 30-day limit. Or he'll just declare a national emergency. He boasts he closed the border and didn't get anybody's permission. He is moving towards the takeover. We are this close to him in the Kim Jong Un hat. THE TRUMPSTEIN COVER-UP CONTINUES: Karoline "Noble Prize" Leavitt explains Trump “wants to see credible evidence released." The part she leaves out is that of course he wants to make sure that this evidence is NOT released. Some of the evidence about Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer has been revealed and somebody tampered with her prisoner status and she may now be free to leave Club Fed during the day. AND JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT Marjorie Taylor Greene wasn't the dumbest of them all - oh yes she is. B-Block (34:03) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: CNN's Kasie Hunt says sure crime is down by a quarter in DC but does it FEEL like it's down? Andrew Cuomo finds another opponent he can beat: Muhammad Ali's most famous quote. And if OK! Magazine has the story right, Jeff Bezos has found the next Bond Girl: MRS. Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez. C-Block (56:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Missed the anniversary by twelve days but it's always in the back of my mind anyway. Literally one month into my career and only the seventh time my bosses trusted me enough to leave me alone on a sportscasting shift at our 1,000-station radio network, Thurman Munson - catcher and captain of the New York Yankees - was killed when the plane he was still learning how to fly crashed at an Ohio airport. And the news came across my wire one minute before my sportscast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Aziz Huq, author of The Collapse of Constitutional Remedies, explains how liability insurers shape policing in small towns, why “rights versus rights” conflicts—from same-sex marriage to police brutality—often hinge on public trust, and how Chicago's low murder clearance rate reflects deep distrust of law enforcement. He analyzes the Supreme Court's Grants Pass ruling on homelessness, arguing that its “status versus conduct” distinction masks moral judgments about choice and responsibility. Plus, Trump's Kennedy Center Honorees include KISS, Gloria Gaynor, George Strait, Michael Crawford, and Sylvester Stallone—prompting thoughts on merchandising, coffin diplomacy, and the Kiss Army.

The Shat Crew trades leather jackets for Stetsons and arena rock for steel guitars with George Strait's acting debut, Pure Country. Commissioned by listener Frank Fall, this 1992 romantic drama follows country superstar "Dusty" Chandler, who's grown tired of the smoke, lasers, and screaming crowds. Disappearing from the spotlight, Dusty sets out to rediscover the joy of music—and maybe find love—while keeping his identity a secret. While Big D marvels at the film's unapologetic sincerity and old-school values, Gene wrestles with whether Dusty's “just folks” routine is genuine or a branding exercise. From ponytails to denim tuxedos, the crew dives into the movie's nostalgic Americana and debates whether its soundtrack is the true star. Is Pure Country a sweet, wholesome reminder of sticking to your roots, or is it just a two-hour George Strait music video? Grab your Wranglers, crack open a cold one, and find out. Plot Summary:In Pure Country, country music superstar Dusty Chandler grows disillusioned with the flashy trappings of fame and vanishes from the spotlight. Returning to his Texas roots under the radar, he rediscovers the simple joys of performing and falls for a local woman who doesn't recognize him. But as love blooms, Dusty must choose between the quiet life he's found and the career waiting for him.
