The early bird gets the worm and -- at least Friday morning (May 29) on Fox & Friends -- Rodney Atkins, too. And even better, a live performance of Atkins' brand new single, "15 Minutes." The one where he admits that he gave up smokin', women and drinkin', and it was the worst 15 minutes of his life. It is a solid country summertime hit if I've ever heard one. One where he sounds a little bit like Dierks Bentley (when he laughs) and a little bit like Tim McGraw (when he drawls). Not a bad combination at all. So I'm looking forward to hearing Atkins do it live in the New York studio. He'll be on Fox sometime between 6 and 9 a.m. ET, right when I'm getting my kids off to school (which is pretty much the worst 15 minutes of my life), so I will have to DVR this one to make sure I don't miss it.
