Rascal Flatts, featuring Picher native Joe Don Rooney, released a new video, "Why." The theme is a heart-felt one, and starts with the factoid, "Every 40 seconds, someone asks 'Why?'" ... It tackles depression and suicide.

Dan Rubottom created this slideshow for the video, which is now playing on Country Music Television.

Rubottom also compiled an "Oral Roberts Legacy" video, which was shown at Roberts' recent memorial service at Oral Roberts University (scroll down for that video).
