Folks in country music like to play nice with each other. But there are times when, as Waylon Jennings once sang, something's got 'em "feudin' like the Hatfields and McCoys."
A judge has ordered Mark Sevier to wear a GPS ankle monitor until he can be mentally evaluated. In addition, he is also prohibited from mentioning singer John Rich, as well as a 17-year-old he is also accused of stalking, on social media.
Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is featured on the cover of Rolling Stone this week. It's a picture and statement that has upset millions of Americans and caused two convenience store chains to ban the issue. Country stars like Brad Paisley are also upset. John Rich spent the better part of two hours tweeting his disgust.
A 36-year-old attorney from Brentwood, Tenn. was arrested over the weekend and charged with aggravated stalking in a case involving John Rich. Mark Christopher Sevier is accused of stalking Rich, even after police issued restraining orders in July and August 2012. The two men have a relationship that goes back to at least 2005.
On New Year’s Eve, an 18-year-old Oklahoma mother shot and killed an intruder to protect her 3-month-old baby, after she had just lost her husband to cancer on Christmas day. Now, John Rich of Big and Rich is on a mission to find this young mother and give her some much-needed help.
Just a few weeks ago, John Rich was kicked off of a Southwest flight home to Nashville for being too drunk. So you can imagine why he found it especially ironic that while boarding yet another Southwest flight early Tuesday morning, he received not one, but six free drink tickets.
