Brad Paisley in USA Today

Two weeks ago, I flew with Brad Paisley to a show at the Delaware State Fair. On the way there, we talked about the way he uses video in his current show. He does a lot of the video work himself, including the animation that goes along with his instrumental "Throttleneck." Brad's also been doing the video editing for an upcoming special on the making of his "Online" video for GAC. Now, I've spent some time in video-editing suites, and watching somebody edit video ... well, it's about like watching somebody play computer solitaire for hours on end. But Brad seems to love it, and it gives him something to do while traveling between tour stops. "It's one of those things that keeps you sane, keeps you from doing drugs," he says. I've got two stories on Brad in USA Today - one that talks about his interest in video and one that gives away his trade secrets.
