Craig: You don't have to be a professor of sociology to understand Britney Spears either. If she wanted to do country she'd have to do "Oops I Did It Again - In My Truck."

Black's dad gave him the foundation for appreciating the roots of country music. On each album, he tries to do something a little outside of the box and delves into blues, jazz, etc., but only for a little bit. He's consistent, though, in his delivery of songs that come from the heart. I don't care what genre he tries out, he hits all the right notes.

Clint talked with you about leaving school early. He stated that he regretted it within a year. He knew what he had lost. "This is the only time in your life where you'll have one job that serves just you. If you can take advantage of that and get everything out of it, then it will serve you." The fact that you're both parents now, and understand the value of an education and the opportunities it affords you is great. There are plenty of people walking around who never understand that.

After the break, Clint performed "Code of the West" in honor of our troops. "Code of the West" has all the elements of a classic. The melody, the simplicity, the heartfelt lyrics that apply to people in many different situations - it's all there.

He never disappoints with his songs. See above. One of my favorite songs is "Something That We Do", another is "State of Mind". And then there's "Summer's Comin'". If you play that cut with Ricky Van Shelton's "Backroads", you're set for a helluva road trip in late May or early June. Especially if you have a Giganticcino and a cup holder.

You know what? I only have one Clint Black CD these days. Ever since my car was broken into a year ago, I've had to slowly rebuild my music collection. Rare John Denver - GONE! Clint Black, Garth Brooks, Mark Collie, Tim McGraw, Martina McBride, Trisha Yearwood, Dwight Yoakum, Foster and Lloyd, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Suzy Boggus, Kathy Mattea (and others that I can't remember) - GONE! Stevie Ray Vaughan, Tinku, my Blues Brothers, John Cougar Mellencamp - all gone and slowly but surely being replaced. A stereo in the car might help, too. All things in due time, right?

Second guest: Closing Bell on CNBC Maria Bartiromo, the Money Honey. She's a big saver, you know, as well as being a good investor.

Craig: Martha Stewart - did she do it? Could she have you whacked if you said anything bad about her?
