Two words in the same sentence: 'country' and 'Trek'?

Can this year get any stranger, er, better?

A Newsweek cover is nothin'... but now we have STAR TREK on the opening of Tuesday's Country Music Association awards, fer Prophets' sake? When did THOSE two ever entities ever share a stage together? (OK, well, there was the Brad Paisley/Shat hookup a few years ago... sorta.)

This has to be a good thing, Miri. Cute, well-done, and as broad-based in appeal as the movie itself. Another marketing masterpiece. (And this one doesn't have to worry about heart, canon, breweries, ship sizes, etc.)
