Ten years ago this week, Lady A’s “Just A Kiss” video debuted on the band’s website. At the time, Hillary Scott shared the song’s meaning to the trio. 

In 2004, 17 years ago, Dierks Bentley was ranked among People magazine’s “50 hottest bachelors.” A year later (2005), he was married to his wife Cassidy. He talked about her during that time.
