Oh, Darius. Now that you’re a bona fide country star, I guess we can forgive you for that surreal Burger King “TenderCrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch” commercial. After all, you’re the first solo African American artist to chart a Number One country hit since Charley Pride in 1983. That’s gotta count for something. The truth is, you’ve got a great voice, you put on a good show, and you love Popdose. In fact, we could hardly believe it when you called us up and said you wanted to give away two PRIORITY ACCESS tickets to Popdose readers for your show on August 24th at the legendary Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, courtesy of Samsung and AT&T.*
Hootie Darius is performing as part of the Samsung AT&T Summer Krush Series, and we do indeed have two totally free PRIORITY ACCESS tickets for you! Winning ‘em is a snap, too. Here’s how. All you have to do is tell us: What’s the name of the dude that founded Samsung in 1938?
To enter, just send an e-mail to Jason Hare with the answer. We’ll pick a winner on Saturday, August 22. And don’t enter if you can’t make the show. If you do, we’ll send the other guys from the Blowfish after you. And you know those guys are angry.
We’ll be offering tickets to one more Samsung AT&T Summer Krush show featuring the sexiest artist of all, Maxwell, so check back soon! And click below to find out more about the Summer Krush series!
*Note: Darius Rucker did not call us up, and as far as we know, has no idea who we are.

Metric: Fantasies
Music pundits are calling this the big rock release of the summer and predicting Green Day’s official return to the racks to be a major release for the year, so we at Popdose decided that one single review couldn’t live up to 21st Century Breakdown’s prerelease hype. Ted Asregadoo, Dave Steed, and Dw. Dunphy take a crack at the boys’ post-American Idiot, post-Foxboro Hot Tubs offering and find themselves in completely different corners.
Ted: After the megasuccess of 2004’s American Idiot, the boys of Green Day had some choices to make. Where would they go next after writing an album that came together relatively quickly, sold a zillion copies, and made them the darlings of preteens, critics, and cynical Gen Xers? Go back? Go forward? Make “American Idiot 2.0″?![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=5db2023d-3b74-48d4-a7bc-edc4b1515849)
