My whole family loved them. But what do they have to do with fishing? —Anne H.. Haines City. Fla. The only fishing done by the eclectic folk-rock act of Keith Grimwood and Ezra Idler is "hooking" audi ences for more rhan 20 years with their infectiously witty, wholesomely wacky songs. Named after a quirky 1968 novel by Richard Brautigan, che group has been nominated for two Grammy Awards and received high praise from several national parent ing organizations. Often they record tunes they've co-written in workshops with kids, such as "Alien in My Nose” and “My Pants Fell Down" from their new CD, My Best Day. CMT Trucks, yuks and other goodies on CMT “CMT Sure Thing Fridays" programming is a perfect way to kick off the weekend. Start your engines with the Chrome Shop Mafia and Truk My Truck (7 p.m.), roll with the laughs and music on Fuxuvrtby's Big Night Out (7:30 p.m.) and follow the drama and dreams of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team (8 p.m., all rimes Central).
