It took less than a day for RILEY GREEN to come up with a response to those who were up-in-arms by his Tweet about Shakira and J-Lo's performance on Sunday.

 

 

In case you're not familiar, this is what he wrote:  "Great game, but can I get somebody to translate this Super Bowl halftime show so I know what they are singing about?"

He went back to Twitter yesterday to clarify what he meant. 

 

 

He said, "To my fans and those who know me THANK YOU for the support.

 

"To anyone offended by my Tweet saying I wanted to know what Shakira was singing about.  I'm a country songwriter and I listen for the story.  I said and meant nothing negative about anyone.  Both are very talented women."

And in less contentious Riley Green news: "Live at the Opry" has posted video of him performing "I Wish Grandpas Never Died" at a recent performance there.
