The Co-Write: Episode 9 Donovan has a man crush; Granger Smith puts his foot in his mouth; Department of Justice rocks the songwriting world

Bobby and Donovan are back at it this week with a review of their last episode, featuring Bleu Edmondson, and they poke a little fun at Donovan for getting called out by fans for being a bit enamored with Bleu.  At (6:15) the guys talk about a recent comment from Granger Smith that equated the Texas Music Scene to the "minor leagues", which leads to a discussion of how we judge music.  At (26:30) the fellas do a little experiment & surprise Donovan's dad on his 71st birthday with a phone call. The topic of the day comes your way at (29:15) regarding a Department of Justice ruling on licensing rights, and the major impact it could have on the songwriting world.  (49:00) WHO'S PLAYING AROUND TOWN!?!?!?!
