In which Dunn made me sick
I’m in Nashville laying on my cousin Robins couch. I’m actually in Nashville for Blissdom but I got here a day early to see her. She picked me up at the airport and I was starving so the first order if business was food.
Robin took me to Burger Up, a well known Nashville hamburger joint. Now I like hamburgers as much as the next person although I rarely eat them so I agreed we should go there. Robin told me that there were often famous or well known people there and I was all psyched. After all, I rarely see famous people in Greensboro.
It was crowded so we pulled up some stools and sat at the bar.
Robin: Lynn, look over there
Me: Where?
Robin: Over my left shoulder
Me: over there?
Robin: See those two guy
Me: yeah
Robin: the one on the left is Dunn
Me: who’s Dunn?
Robin: Lynn, it’s Ronnie Dunn
Me: who’s Ronnie Dunn?
Robin: of Brooks and Dunn
Me: Brooks and Dunn?
Robin: yeah Lynn, Brooks and Dunn. One of the biggest country duos out there
Me: hmmm…sounds vaguely familiar. So that’s him?
Robin: yeah
Me: he doesn’t look like he’s having much fun
Robin: well, don’t stare. People on Nashville don’t stare.
Me: he looks constipated
Robin: LYNN!!!
Me: should I go tell him about my blog?
Robin: no Lynn, you shouldn’t
And then we got our burgers which we ate and eventually we left and Robin took me on a tour. A driving tour. I saw Belmont College and Vanderbilt and “Music Row” and then she drove me by the Country Club called Belle Meade. By this point, I was feeling pretty sick between eating a massive burger and driving around and we had the following conversation:
Robin: Lynn, are you alright?!
Me: I feel sick
Robin: what’s wrong?
Me: I think I’m gonna puke
Robin: motion sickness?
Me: I blame it on Dunn
Robin: Dunn?
Me: yeah Dunn
Robin: why him?
Me: I felt fine before I saw him
And that’s why you should avoid country singers folks because even if you like country music, they’ll still make you sick.
Authors Note: since I have gotten SO MUCH SHIT from Dunn’s fans on this post, I have written a rebuttal which you can find HERE!

Oh No! I am going to go see Miranda Lambert in April! But she is young and pretty, not like Dunn, so maybe I am safe. LOL.
~Allie
Oh,I’m sure you are
Well, damn. There you are all about the Blissdom and then you get Dunn’d. I’m sure that burger had nothing to do with it.
Uggghhh…that burger. I’m in bed even as we speak with a stomach bug
Hahah the nerve! You should send him a doctor’s bill.
Mayor Gia recently posted..Friday Photographs!
I should cuz I’m still sick
Hilarious! New country does kind of make me sick, so I totally avoid those folks like the plague. I do love me a good burger though.
Not sure I’ll ever eat a burger again
i dont eat burgers rarely ever band did so at a country venue Wildhorse Saloon was watchiing a counry act.. but they were all amazing”McKinzies Mill” so iam saying watch where we eat these burgers…burger….ugh
I lived in Nashville for a few years and LOVED it there ~ although I was never Dunned. Have fun!
I’m done being Dunned
That DUNN! How dare he make you sick. These celebrities have no respect for us little people. NONE. Um. Not that I’m very little. I take up waaay more space than I should. Feel better!
Hee!!!! I agree..he gave me the flu
Hahaha. My thoughts exactly, Lynn. Funny stuff! Have lots of fun at Blissdom!
Hey there…mi actually ended up in bed with a stomach flu
I’m sure that’s not the effect that Dunn was hoping to have on you… He owes you a pair of front row tickets.
Lynette recently posted..Catamount Microwave Popcorn Popper
Yeah, I actually ended up with a stomach flu!! He totally does
Given the fact that the radio stations around here only play either country or Christian rock, I am well acquainted with Brooks and Dunn. Sigh…
alaina recently posted..Strange Bird.
Hahaha…I hear they’re a big deal
While I take no responsibility for anything….;) I can’t believe I had to read in your blog that you’re sick :(. So sorry your Dunn for the weekend. Anything I can bring you?
You poor thing…Dunned and Burgered, all at once. Maybe stick to rock n roll and sushi?
Hehehe :) I don’t choosing a country music have that effect I mostly listen country music but I am alright.
Rizwan Sultan recently posted..Crohn\’s Blog
that’s good…i finally am too
Sucked that you were sick at Blissdom … but LOVED having you there just the same.
Glad you are feeling better … call you later xxxx
By Word of Mouth Musings recently posted..Rachel Voorhees, A Monday Muse
yeah!!! i always enjoy hanging with you girl and Ann loved you!
Ronnie Dunn posted a link to your blog on his Facebook! Hahaha!
yeah…he started a shitstorm
No, Lynn, YOU started a shitstorm. I also took the time to read “About Lynn” and guess what, you’re not funny. You could have used the “sighting” as an opportunity to write something humorous and appropriate. Instead you resorted to something a 13 yr. old adolescent might write. That’s too bad. Because Ronnie, besides being an extremely talented songwriter and singer, is also a very nice guy … with a great sense of humor.
Your opinion is duly noted
No it isn’t!
You’re being so gracious, Lynn. If this were my blog, I’d be cursing up a STORM.
This isn’t my blog, though, and yet I’m still cursing up a storm……
I was feeling fine until I read this blog. Then I felt sick. Stay away from bloggers, folks… they make you sick!
exactly. i would stay away from this blog unless you know what HUMOR is
You are such a moron! People like you make me sick.
whatever
Well this proves you don’t need an ounce of talent to write a blog. I suspected this was the case. Thank you for clearing that up.
hey! He found me…i was just writing a funny post dmcdarm@yahoo.com
If you had told him about your blog in the restaurant, he wouldn’t have made you nearly this famous.
Well played, my friend
Very funny!
Makes me wonder “what” and “how much” a tall thin guy like Ronnie Dunn eats at Burger Up. Did you see what he got?
nah…didn’t pay attention
You are all sick. He’s a great singer and is probably the most humble person ever. So if you don’t have nothing nice to say then shut it!
get a grip Mike…and also, possibly a sense of humor
You should take some of your own advice, there, sparky.
Can I call you sparky?
You know You are full of it. Ronnie Dunn is a Gentleman (Let Alone Being the Best Country Vocalist).
and one more thing. Hey Lynn, Please Go F**k Yourself, you and Your Lame Posts
if he was such a gentlemen than perhaps he wouldn’t have unleashed such a shitstorm on me
Looking At My Comment, I Think I Overreacted, Sorry for Those Mean words. But Believe Me, He is a Gentleman. He’s angry Because You Don’t Know nothing about Him and still you said All Those Things
anyway, That Man is Like Your Father. he’s a good Singer and a Perfect Family Man. Little Respect is not bad Sometimes.
Good Thing He Didn’t Tell You to “Kiss My Ass” :D
I’m sure he’s a fine guy…I was joking around
Sorry there are so many comments bashing you. I think the whole point of a blog is to entertain your audience. Even if my bedroom wall was covered in Dunn posters and he and his music were the love of my life I wouldn’t be offended by your post. Your talent as a writer, the quality of your blog, etc. are moot points and are just aimed to hurt you as these folks feel hurt by your comments. Too bad they couldn’t be more evolved and write something like, “I really love this guy/his music and was upset you made fun of him.” and not turn it into a “YOU SUCK” fest. Maybe they can’t take that extra step and realize the post is meant to entertain folks. It’s also disappointing that most of these folks who bashed you didn’t have the courage to identify themselves.
yeah…the whole thing was a joke
Just looked up his Facebook post. It’s funny, he bashes you saying you are just trying to get noticed, then by making the post he is doing just that…getting people to notice you. First, he is assuming you made the post to get noticed (and perhaps you did…but this is still an assumption on his part and may not be true.) Second, he immediately targets your talent as a writer/blogger. Some of the comments by his fans talk about what a wonderful person he is and in my humble opinion, someone who makes an assumption then invites the opportunity for folks to trash the hell out of you isn’t so wonderful in my book.
And finally, your goal is to entertain people. (Here I go being a hypocrite, making assumptions but they are based on following your blog and our correspondence.) And every person has their own opinion as to what they find entertaining. I’m not sure why some people feel the need to bash the hell out of you just because they don’t agree with what you wrote or find it entertaining. Too bad they can’t be more mature.
couldn’t agree with you more. I never tried to get famous. I just have my little blog. He could have TOTALLY ignored it and chose to ridicule it. His fan base isn’t very mature.
But you were bashing him first…
Not really…only of you take the post seriously which NONE of my readers do because I write tongue in cheek
I actually remember a comment exchange we had months ago where you talked about how your not focusing on getting famous. So!
Well. I think many of these people are crazy
Is Ronnie Dunn also responsible for your poor writing and bad punctuation skills? Grow up.
no, i take responsibility for that myself loudmouthjimmy@gmail.com
also, perhaps you, and the rest of your lot, should try to appreciate the humor in the post
Hey y’all, my guess is that Ronnie got a kick out of it. He’s tweeting about it ! @SINGAINABAND
He does say we should call you our for bashing country music but it’s all in good fun and your story is hilarious!
really, cuz i have written a rebuttal.
hee! I looked it up and are you that zeke he’s talking to? I suppose you must be since how many Zekes can there be? Honestly, the entire thing was a joke…surely he can see that.
I am a huge Ronnie Dunn fan and I didn’t find this amusing only because you’re trashing somebody you know nothing about. He is an incredibly talented man and extremely humble. He’s also a human being! Funny thing is sometimes he DOES get this look on his face like he’s constipated or having a hemorrhoid flareup!
well taking@northstate.net i really don’t think i “trashed” anybody. It was a HUMOR post. Look it up and see what that means.
“Humor is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement” Neither of which your trash post provides.
Many people found it funny…humor IS subjective
A little defensive???
well, i have been getting some NASTY comments…I was just writing a post…tongue in cheek…
ahhhh, but I wasn’t nasty. I even admitted that he DOES get that look on his face. He also tends to take things to heart. His fans are obviously very protective even though he’s a big boy!
No you weren’t…but others were. Looks its no big deal
At this moment I have a feeling Mr. Dunn is sitting back going “look what I can get them to do”!!
Probably!! Hahaha…like The Wizard of Oz and the flying monkeys…
Man if you read his facebook comments they really, really hate me.
I can’t wait to read some of them!!
well, don’t be a traitor to your cause for me :(
and DAMN…i don’t see where this is getting me famous AT ALL!!!!
Humor??? I fail to see any humor what’s so ever, Perhaps the only reason you got sick was your poor attempt at humor..When you blame someone for making you sick it is trashing them ,,Maybe Robin made you sick since that is who you were with most of the day just sayen
Could be…who knows??? I don’t know why you’re taking this so personally
Because I’m a country music fan, I’m a Ronnie Dunn fan and don’t think your remarks were all that funny. Why even put Ronnie into your blog?
Good grief…I write a humor blog based on what I do. I saw him, I got sick…I made a joke.
All my readers know I was kidding…
Why are you people so uptight???
you know what I think the problem is here, Lynn? You should have put a disclaimer at the top. Something like… This blog isn’t for the easily offended, or something along those lines.
Oh, wait.
SHIT.
Funny? NO.. Stupid? YES!! Sounds like a 14 yr old.. but in this World we always have to blame someone else for the way we feel it seems….
It was a silly post
Dude, it was a fucking JOKE.
I seriously can’t believe people are reacting like this…..
First of all, go back to Greensboro. Second of all, you seriously must have no life. You sound like a total asshole. And lastly, I hope you are drop dead gorgeous and have a leg to stand on. No telling how many people you make “sick” on a daily basis.
Yes. I am drop dead gorgeous. Thanks
She is.
I’ve seen her.
rachel is obviously just jealous
Perfect reply, Lynn. Geez, I cannot believe all this. You made me laugh. Thank you!
now this is a token of success, I cannot wait until people call me an asshole on my blog’s wall! Bravo, I’m bowing Lynn
SoberJulie recently posted..Hope for the Hopeless-From one alcoholic to another
Good Lawd woman, can you not even joke about something without strange people coming out of the woodwork?
I feel like I should be responding in poorly rhyming lines with sappy words and peasant grammar … but we stay away from moonshine down here and stick with upmarket cabernet’s!
By Word of Mouth Musings recently posted..Blissdom, a recap and omgosh, its the weekend!
I can joke but apparently I’m not funny
YES YOU ARE
Oh. My. Word. I’ve seen the uproar on his page and now the attacks in your comments. Seriously? For this post? It’s a light piece making a joke. PERIOD. Does Ronnie Dunn really need his posse to protect him here? REALLY?
Chimomwriter recently posted..One Year of Blogging? It’s Time For A Party (And A Giveaway, Too)
PEOPLE! IT WAS TONGUE AND CHEEK.
GEEEEEE-SUS.
IF THIS HUMOR IS WHAT MAKES “YOU SICK” YOU ALL NEED TO GET SOME PERSPECTIVE IN THIS WORLD.
Child poverty? Abuse in any form, physical or emotional? Animal cruelty. THESE are what makes me sick.
LYNN, WE LOVE YA.
Lady Estrogen recently posted..Hey Mama, Just My Luck
this got blown so out of proportion it’s ridiculous.
it’s just a funny blog post. i don’t get why people are so up in arms?
Like I pointed out on his FB page, I poke fun at MYSELF all the time.
Moreover? We have much bigger fish to fry than this. What about child hunger,
homelessness, the AIDS epidemic, and poverty? Sheesh.
So sorry this all got unleashed on you, Lynn, and I hope you’re feeling better.
LMAO!!
Of all the things for somebody to get pissy about, it’s THIS? Surely you’ve been much more offensive in the past, Lynn?
Lynn, I’d say I’m flabbergasted by the comments on this post, but I know you don’t have much use for people who don’t see the humor in your words (or the disclaimer at the top of your blog.)
But you do know Joe Jonas ended up at Blissdom, right? And I loved Blissdom, but I don’t know if your stomach would have fared much better there. Six of one, half dozen of the other in terms of bad burgers, Dunn, and a barely-past-his-teens sensation.
angela recently posted..A Few Steps Behind
Wow! Those Dunn fans are hard core! I thought this was supposed to be tongue in cheek…I didn’t take it as a Dunn bash and not sure that anybody who reads you regularly would.
Lynn, you’re awesome. Those of us who know you “get it”. Those of the commenters that don’t? Well, I’ll be nice and just say they don’t get it.
Talk about blowing something mundane out of proportion…
Dear Lord Lynn if this is all it takes to get Dunn’s knickers in a twist his life must be boring! Sarcasm is so often lost on so many…your brilliance has proven itself
Look, anyone who has to initial his OWN FB posts is clearly just after his own promotion. I won’t even mention the amount of political posturing he has to resort to on said page to get people to comment. If I wanted a bunch of my own fans to blow sunshine up my butt I’d publicly whine about nothing too.
Seriously, people? This was a cute post.
And Jill’s comments made it even better! Haha. :)
Sorry you have a bunch of ignorant fucktards bringing you down. So ridiculous that an
innocent post could cause all this drama.
EXACTLY what I was thinking… You just said it way fuckin’ better!
MommaC recently posted..Celebrity BS
thanks you
OMG so much over-reaction to something ao silly from all sides!!! Insult or no, I was entertained. As a blogger it is obvious to me that this was a joke – I guess we must have a unique sense of humor. Then again, what else do you expect on a site called ‘all fooked up” other than humor?
Maybe he’s trying to get some of your followers to pay attention to HIM *lol*

I still don’t know who he is, except that he’s a jerk. The post was obviously a joke. I think he’s upset you didn’t know who he was.

TFT recently posted..Davy Jones, R.I.P.
Maybe when this all blows over you can get Mr. Dunn to tweet you a picture of him holding twine. That would be whatever word kids use instead of epic these days.
hahaha…that is too funny.
[...] I wrote a silly post entitled “in which Dunn makes me sick.” Apparently it showed up in his Google Reader because he then posted it to his Facebook. [...]
Great day in the morning, people need to lighten up. I think this post is hilarious. I’ve been a Brooks and Dunn fan for forever. However, his putting this on his facebook wall and wanting to know if people considered your blog trash is a bit too much. I know whose songs are coming off my iPod and whose albums I won’t be purchasing again. He’s a public figure, he should be accustomed to tongue in cheek articles. You are just a blogger doing your thing. And are funny whilst doing it. More power to you!! Also, never forget…haters gonna hate :-)
This is the most fun I’ve had with Brooks and Dunn since I danced to some “boot Scootin’ Boogie” song in a best forgotten 1990 pageant. I think your blog is funny and ‘ol Ronnie needs to lighten up. Thanks for the laugh, and thanks to the commenters for even more laughs.
What a fuckin piece of work that guy is!! I don’t know who is worse – him for being so desperately insecure and attacking another human being so viciously (especially because he is ‘famous’ and should THEORETICALLY have some kind of tact, a sense of responsibility, common sense or at least a wrangler to keep him in check), or his flock of ‘trashy’, mindless, bandwagon following sheep… So, so ridiculous. I really feel for you, Lynn. I hope he’s made to publicly apologize and that all those heartless assholes bite their tongues. I’ll say it again, those that made such extreme comments are what’s wrong with America as we speak, so everyone can thank them for all of our country’s problems. God help us. And I really hope you’re okay Lynn. The one good thing about the Internet… This is all very well documented.
Clearly, I’m a dumbass. Because I don’t get what angered so many. It was a silly post with no real “attack” on Mr. Dunn.
whatevs! I wouldn’t waste any more time on this Lynn!!!
Well I loved the post and me, being who I am, probably would of done the same thing! It was humor! If Jay Leno had of made this humorous remark on this show, he would not of gotten bashed….Keep up the ‘humorist’ posts, because I for one, love your wicked sense of humor! LOL
Thanks Jody. Doubt I could change much at this point in my life anyhow…
Oh Lynn, this kills me. “Should I tell him about my blog?” (Clearly also a joke.) How ironic that this happened! If only you had known.
Enjoy your 15 minutes (desired or not) and fook the rest of them.
I am… i thought it was funny…and ridiculous…but mostly funny
JILLMO, your as childish as the Blogger was. Do you Kiss your Mom with that Nasty ass mouth of yours??
I’d love to get Dunn’d by a burger if it’d get me 4.5 minutes of fame.
hahaha…totally NOT worth it. also, i don’t see where i got any fame, just a LOT of hateful comments
Wow! Should I move to another city & we can try our luck there? also, did you see he took his thing down? i totally owned him
nah…i think you’re fine
This was the highlight to my day, Lynn. “Rabid” is a word that comes to mind. I’m also impressed by your replies….because, if it were me, I’d be laughing too hard to type.
Well, I was trying to remain civil…kind of
Again..someone please tell me.
Who in the heck is Ronnie Dunn????
