At 9:55 p.m. Coty and Weston took the stage and thanked everyone for attending.
Weston then took about 3 minutes to give a stump speech.
Then John Rich took the stage and opened with Coming to Your City and then several of the other songs he performed were Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire, Lost in this Moment, The Good Lord and the Man, Shutting Detroit Down, Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy and a few more.
When Rich and his band performed the hit song Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy, he was joined on stage by Two Foot Fred. Two Foot Fred is a member of Rich’s MuzikMafia. Six, Rich’s bodyguard came on stage to assist Two Foot Fred after the song. Following the concert, I had the opportunity to talk with Six. Six is a great guy that performs his job exceptionally well. He stands 6′ 9”.
Rich’s encore was leading a packed house to Rocky Top. It was a great event right in the front door of the Knoxville Mayor who happens to be challenging Zach Wamp for Governor. The Knoxville Mayor had several volunteers occupy two tables at the Tin Roof until the place got so packed that they left.
The best quote of the night by John Rich about Zach Wamp was when he was saying that he has met all four candidates for Governor, they are all four good men but that “Zach Wamp has something that most politician’s don’t have. He has a set of balls and a backbone.” Rich went on to say that Zach Wamp is the only guy that will meet Barack Obama at the state line and say bring it on and will challenge the Obama agenda. The house went wild.
Are any of the pics from the meet and greet going to be posted?? I would like to have a copy of the one of John Rich and me if possible.
RickB as of Friday night the intent was to post the meet and greet pics on the campaigns flickr page. Check there.
