Dressed For Dierks
It’s no secret I’m not an entertainment writer. My lack of pop culture knowledge has gotten me into a jam more than once and, most recently, at the Rockingham County Fair this week. I was asked to write up a short feature about the Dierks Bentley show (for those of you just as clueless, he’s apparently a major country star.)
So, Thursday night before the concert, Bentley is behind me signing autographs. He turns and bumps me as he leaves, so he very charmingly apologizes, saying something along the lines of “Oh, sorry, shouldn’t run over the fans.”
My reply?
“It’s okay, I’m not fan.”
Silence.
That is so so so not what I meant. I backtracked, mumbling something about I what I was trying to say is that I was working, you know, for the newspaper. He laughed at me, joked “well, make me look good,” then walked off.
I think he pitied me. I pitied me. Nonetheless, here’s the story from Friday’s Daily News-Record:
ROCKINGHAM COUNTY — More than one Dierks Bentley fan shared Molly Anderson’s flash of inspiration.
She slipped her hair into pigtails and pulled on a little white tank top before the county singer’s concert at the Rockingham County Fair Thursday night.
“You know, like the song,” says the 16-year-old from Harrisonburg.
Oh, yeah.
She and her friends launch into the chorus of Bentley’s first hit single, “What Was I Thinkin’”: “Cuz’ I was thinking ’bout a little white tank top sitting right there in the middle by me, I was thinking about a long kiss, Man, just gotta get goin’ where the night might lead.”
