Editor-In-Chief's Note: From the other end of the spectrum comes this new video for Dodge called "Family Motto," which is a throwback to "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" and features a brand-new song from AC/DC, called "Shot In The Dark." Actor Gary Cole also reprises his original role as "Reese Bobby." The video celebrates the Dodge brand’s recent first-place finishes in both the J.D. Power APEAL Study (mass market) and J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS), not that you'll remember any of that. Speaking of AC/DC, watch the video for their new song here.

AE Song of the Week:

Well an old friend from his old end of town dropped by today
And way down deep inside me something died
When she came ’round to see him that way
Here it comes again, that same old chilly wind will blow
Like a cold winter squall
And I’ll begin to feel the chill of an early fall

And I’ll be drinkin’ again
And thinkin’ whenever she calls
There’s a storm comin’ on
And it won’t be too long ’til the snow falls
Oh, I’ll be sober some
But when October comes and goes
In no time at all
I’ll begin to feel the chill of an early fall

Oh how quick they slip away
Here today and gone tomorrow
Love and seasons never stay
Bitter winds are sure to follow

Now there’s no doubt it’s gonna be cold out tonight, I’ve shivered all day
And when I look in his eyes, needin’ to hold him so tight, he just looks away
Oh, he’ll swear that it’s true, she’s just someone he knew long ago
But I’ll know that’s not all
And I’ll begin to feel the chill of an early fall

"Chill Of An Early Fall" was the first track from George Strait's 1991 album of the same name. The song was released as Strait's 33rd single and became his 23rd number one hit. It was written by Green Daniel and Gretchen Peters. Listen to it here.
