Paisley Has a Cow

PAISLEY HAS A COW: Country star Brad Paisley recently sent WYCD-FM Detroit morning show producer and co-host Steve Gunwald on a mission to purchase and deliver a cow to an African tribal chief in Kenya. Grunwald made the trip and accomplished the task by presenting a young female calf, “Paisley,” to the Chief of the Masai tribe on behalf of the artist. The saga began in 2007 when Paisleybet Grunwald that he could not travel to 10 countries in 10 days—Grunwald accepted the wager and took along a life-size Paisleycut-out to document his travels. The producer has kept in contact with some of the people he met during his first trip to Africa and recently received a request to provide the Kenyan tribe a cow—something that would support the whole village for a long time, and Paisley offered to fund the trip and buy the cow. Grunwald then documented the journey, updating fans through a blog on the station website here. How’s that for milking a publicity stunt? (10/16a)
