A Class Act

Award winning country duo Brooks & Dunn announced this week that they were calling it quits after 20 years together. They will release one last album and do one last tour, and after that, they'll ride off into the sunset... separately.

I give these gentlemen a hearty round of applause.

To look at each other honestly and say, you know what, I think we've done the best work we can do together but that our run is over, takes heart and guts and not a small dose of brutal reality. Brooks & Dunn are huge in the world of country music. They could have continued on making records and selling out tours for years to come. But they chose to stand up and admit that it's just their time to stop. That is a class act.

It's a great lesson for other acts to learn, who are just out there doing it for the money, and let's face it, we all know who they are.

Bravo, Brooks & Dunn. Best of luck to you both.
