News & Observer music critic David Menconi's random (and we do mean random) musings about all things related to music and culture of the "popular" variety.
Well, here we have what will probably be the biggest shows of 2009 out at Raleigh's big outdoor shed -- the half-dozen shows on this year's Country Megaticket, most of which will probably sell out:
George Strait, Blake Shelton, Julianne Hough (May 16)
Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley, Jimmy Wayne (June 6)
Toby Keith, Trace Adkins (July 11)
Rascal Flatts, Darius Rucker (Aug. 2)
Alan Jackson (Aug. 22)
Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, Lady Antebellum (Aug. 30)
