Rascal Flatts gets its star
"I am at such a loss for words that I can't even describe how I feel," said lead singer Gary LeVox. "What a great honor and symbol of accomplishment. To have only wanted to make music since childhood this far exceeds any expectations I ever had. I am so humbled and grateful to God for all of his blessings and this amazing gift He's given us called music. Thanks to all who made this possible, especially our family and fans for making a dream a reality. You really can touch a star."
"There are only a few things I can think of that are as big of an honor as receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame," said Jay DeMarcus, background vocalist and bass player. "I am so humbled, filled with gratitude and completely overcome with emotion.... I guess we've really done something afterall."
Lead guitarist and background vocalist Joe Don Rooney said, "This is the kind of stuff you dream of growing up as a kid. Having our name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has to be one of the coolest things that's ever happened to Rascal Flatts. I'm honored and completely humbled."
Additional 2011 musical recipients include Melissa Etheridge, Los Tigres Del Norte, the Go-Go's, Slash, Will i Am, and Bebe & Cece Winans and posthumously Buddy Holly and Louis Prima.

CD reviews for Rascal Flatts
Rascal Flatts' swan song EP grapples with the issues like legacy, time and memory. Right off the bat, "How They Remember You" posits that it's not a question of if, but how we're remembered. After we leave this planet for good, we won't be forgotten. However, we will be remembered, and we'd like to be remembered well. Then again, if one assumes there is no afterlife, does it really even matter? If there is no one to remember you, your legacy is basically a moot point. ...
