Well, I guess Truck's not-son Cody did in fact come out ahead of beloved (?) tween neo-vaudeville novelty act "Shorty and the Beanpole,” because not only did he score an invite to Truck's wedding but he was also allowed and/or required to perform. Obviously he was only paid in "exposure" and "the chance that he might feel the slightest amount of paternal affection for once in his life," but now it's all worked out ... for him, anyway. Too bad about his band, but the lucrative world of younger people doing covers of country classics doesn't have room for anything more than the one guy and one guitar that the nostalgics crave.
