Paisley celebrates Opry anniversary
After an on-stage presentation by Opry Vice President and General Manager Pete Fisher and Opry member Bill Anderson, Paisley reflected on 10 years of Opry membership.
"This is my favorite place to play," Paisley said. "It's the best stage in the world. You've got the circle right here which means more to us now than ever. I always wanted to be a member here. That was my goal. I think more than anything... it was like, 'if I could just be a member of the Opry, I'll know that I've made it in the eyes of some really important people.' I can't believe it's been ten years. It's flown by. Thank you for not kicking me out of the club yet. I appreciate it."
Anderson said, "I think you'll be around here as long as you want to be and as long as there is a Grand Ole Opry for you to play."

In fact, Paisley manages to combine the ultra serious with his typical sense of humor. The seriousness is never more apparent from Paisley than on the controversial Accidental Racist with LL Cool J, who helped write and perform it. ...
Brad Paisley's new live hits CD is a bit of a tease. That's because it only goes half way in replicating the true live Paisley experience. Watching the accompanying concert videos at a Paisley show, whether the venue screen is showing Andy Griffith during Waitin' on a Woman or the montage of recently-deceased celebrities that accompanies When I Get Where I'm Going, reveal how Paisley simply must be seen to be fully enjoyed.
Nevertheless, Paisley in concert and captured on ...
Brad Paisley has grown up on his eighth album. Yes, the West Virginian maintains a sense of humor, but apparently aging has left its mark on a maturing singer who has never forsaken his country roots. That is ever so apparent in songs like Anything Like Me and Oh Yeah, You're Gone. The former finds Paisley looking at the passage of time through his son's life in a tender, but not sappy look. On the latter, he's a five-year-old boy who doesn't get what he wants, which his grandfather notices. ...
