Listen to Dierks' Chat with K92: 5-1-5-0, 50 Shades, and Ridge 2

Orlando's Country station, K92.3's AJ and Ashley, talked to Dierks Bentley while he was taking a few days off in San Diego earlier this week.  

Listen in as they talk to our prez about his tenth number one song, 5-1-5-0, ("yeah, my fans, they can get 5-1-5-0"), police code for crazy. They also accuse Dierks of reading "Fifty Shades Of Grey." He denies it and quips that the male version of that book is Penthouse Forum. Dierks placed fifth on a poll to play the book's lead character--Christian Grey--on the big screen.

"Wow! Here I was counting on becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry as being one of my greatest achievements, but I really honestly...my greatest achievement may be placing fourth in the playing of Christian Grey. Did they make a plaque? I’d like to have that here somewhere. People will come to my house and the first thing they'll see is this fourth place plaque.”

Is there gonna be another bluegrass album, they ask? "Yeah I think there will be ... and I definitely plan on sometime in my career to have a "Ridge 2."

Wet Midwest Weekends Don't Deter Dierks Bentley

Rain may be a good thing for Luke Bryan, but the wet stuff sure tried to deter Dierks Bentley from performing his full set of songs during the last two weekends in Missouri, Wisconsin and Illinois.

While a St. Louis storm under The Arch forced Dierks and Dude Inc. off the stage about four songs in (see DBTV below), The sweet release of rain on Friday (the 13th) night in Wisconsin didn't slow him down. According to one fan in the crowd, Dierks told them their equipment could handle it so they all proceeded to get soaked to the bone.

Dierks tweeted after the show:

"crazy night here in wisconsin. played in the rain til the gear stopped working. many little (wet) white tanks and t's!" 

One of our new followers on Twitter, Matthew Kessel Lyon‏ @mcklyon, tweeted:

"I've been to literally hundreds of concerts, but @DierksBentley just played the BEST. SHOW. EVER. In the rain!!! ‪#JeffersonCounty"‬

In DBTV - Episode 70, Dierks and the guys travel from Canada to St. Louis, where they get rained out.  Maybe doing their pre-show all hands on "Fifty Shades of Grey" wasn't such a good thing! Could Dierks be studying to play the lead role in the movie? Nah!



Dierks finishes out this weekend with The Taste of Chicago this afternoon in Grant Park.
