Jelly Roll offers hope for struggling youngsters, Luke Bryan calls out the idiots | Music City Minute

Jelly Roll is planning a couple of charity shows at The Grand Opry, with proceeds benefitting the “Buddy Ford Charitable Fund” and the “Judge Dickens Educational Center.” The latter program was started by the prosecutor who oversaw Jelly Roll’s youthful offense cases. Now, the singer and lawman work together to provide resources for at-risk youth to change their lives for the better. Tickets for the September 22 concerts are on sale now through the Opry’s official website.
Luke Bryan hopped on his soap box to vent about the “idiots that throw things concerts.” The “Crash My Party” singer suspects “a deterioration of society’s moral fabric,” is the cause of impulsive and dangerous actions by rowdy concertgoers. Yes, Bryan is tired. So here is your public service announcement: Please be respectful at shows and act like you’ve had some home training. Your favorite artist would appreciate your cooperation.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
