Alan Jackson Fan Turns Wheelchair Into Four-Wheeler
Cory Fields, 19, likes Alan Jackson and he's always wanted to be in a music video. So the North Carolina country fan put on a cowboy hat and turned his wheelchair into a makeshift four-wheeler for his inventive video submission to appear in Jackson's "Country Boy." Weeks after sending the video in, Fields got the coveted e-mail. "It said ‘congratulations' and I just went nuts," said Fields' mother, Libby. It looks like Jackson's team chose about a dozen fan submissions to appear in the video, on the screen of an old television. Fields is only in the video for a few seconds, but that was enough to give the teenager the thrill of a lifetime.
