Welcome to The List,

Today we continue our Labor Day look at some of your favorite country star FIRST jobs…today Eric Church talks about one of his worst jobs Selling Knives …  “my worst one was when I first came to Nashville. I got a job at the Shop at Home Network.  I worked midnight, graveyard, midnight to eight, and I sold knives from midnight to 7 or 8am. And, anytime somebody calls you at 3 or 4am and needs 200 knives for $19.95, it’s automatically an alarming situation.”
