The Wreckers in Rhinebeck

Just got back from Long Island, checked my e-mail and saw that The Wreckers are going to play the Dutchess County Fair in Rhinebeck on Aug. 22 at 8 p.m.

All I really know about them is A.) their song "Leave the Pieces" and B.) they're so hot!

C'mon ... look at those two!

The brunette is the Michelle Branch (you might know her from such songs as "Game of Love" with Santana and "All You Wanted") and her former backup singer Jessica Harp ... she's the blonde.

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of country music (I grew up listening to it all the time 'cause my dad loves the stuff). Well, let me clarify that; I have two rules when it comes to country music:

1. I won't listen to any country song a guy sings. (They're always so depressing: He loses his woman and his house and his dog. It's just so depressing.) (Though, if you listen to the song backwards, the guy gets back his woman and his house and his trailer!)

2. I'll listen to anything a female country singer belts out if she's cute!

As it turns out, though, I LOVE that "Leave the Pieces" song. I've been meaning to go to iTunes and download it.

I don't even need Rule No. 2 in this case!

Now, I haven't seen a concert at the Dutchess County Fair in years. (Though I saw my first concert ever at the fair when The Jets played the fair way back in the 80s.) Nowadays, all they seem to book for the fair are country acts I'd never want to see (read that as "country guys").

Did I mention I did see Boys II Men at the Orange County Fair about a dozen years ago? Of course, that wasn't part of the fair; we had to pay a separate admission to see those guys. (Am I sharing way too much again?!)

But anyway ... I'll sooooo be at the fair to see these two cuties. Hope to see ya there!
