Rascal Flatts'valentine's Day Past And Present

By: Margy Holland

The guys in Rascal Flatts are forever joking around, so when we asked them about Valentine's Day, their response was hardly serious. "(Jay DeMarcus) Gary, what are your Valentine's Day plans? You know, I think I'm gonna spend my Valentine's with you and Joe Don on Valentine's Day. (Jay) How romantic. That's very sweet. (Gary LeVox) You know, I just don't feel like we spend enough time together, and I couldn't think of . . . not my wife or kids. I just couldn't imagine spending Valentine's Day without you two."

Gary recalls a favorite Valentine's Day memory with some unforgettable food. "(Gary) About four or five years ago we had some chocolate sauce and we made some incredible milk shakes that night." (Jay) "Oh, milkshakes I thought you were going somewhere else with that, I got a little confused." (Gary) "Oh no, no..." (Jay) "It started to get a little warm in here...could somebody turn down the..." (Gary) "No it was just milkshakes though, made some great milkshakes, and then we took this fruit and made the best fruit salad that you could have... I mean, seriously the strawberries really set the salad off." (Joe Don Rooney) "That's to die for buddy." (Gary) "Oh, it is, so cooking is probably one of my..." (Jay) "So you're saying you're just big tease, huh?" (Gary) Yeah, well basically with food, you know?"

The guys will actually have this Valentine's Day weekend off to be with their wives and families.

Their American Living Unstoppable tour resumes on February 18th in Peoria, Illinois.
