NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) _ Dierks Bentley has landed an ad campaign he calls ``the pinnacle for a dude that likes to drink beer.'' He's the newest addition to Anheuser Busch's ``Real Men of Genius'' campaign. The spot begins by saying, ``Today we salute you, Dierks Bentley, Mr. Sad Country Song Songwriter.'' It begins to air nationally this month. Bentley laughingly says ``I've had to nurse a lot of hangovers over the years to reach this status.'' Bentley, whose tour is sponsored by Anheuser-Busch's Bud Light, says he's honored to be on the same list as ``Mr. Restroom Toilet Refiller'' and ``Mr. Push Up Bra Inventor.''
