Veterans of stage performance, BrokeDown Cadillac’s live show is electrifying. The band, a tight collection of seasoned players, rarely offer people a chance to sit down, with their string of upbeat, toe-tapping numbers commandeering fans to the dance floor. Corri and Randy have written over two dozen songs for this project, five of which have recently been used in the 2009 Disney box office hit, “Race to Witch Mountain,” starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The two, joined by their backing band, Danny Reuland on drums, Don Ian on lead guitar, and Jeff LeGore on bass, were also included in a performance sequence of the movie, playing in a honky-tonk bar.

this makes me sick! Men over in iraq are deprived from sex for a year at a time and some men have WIVES and CHILDREN back at home. This just blows my mind that young women would show there boobs off in a WAR ZONE with soldiers that are trying to serve our country and get back home to there FAMILIES! its hard enough on everyone that there soldier is away and in danger for a year and now we have to deal with these girls dancing around and flirting with everyone.
Thanks to these young ladies for spending their Thanksgiving holiday to support our troops overseas and bring them a little slice of home!
Angry is an idiot.
If you have ever been a soldier in a war zone, you wuld know just how appreciated the visit from these young women are. This type of visit really lifts morale.
Angry, you should put all of your PC bull crap aside and think about the boys in Irag. I would venture a bet that very, very few of them complained about this visit.
Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done
Make me want to enlist
