Last year Hoge&#8217;s life was interrupted by an incredibly frightening wreck that left many of us wondering if we&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With their media prominence rising thanks to folks like Oprah, the Avett Brothers are tantalizing close to a full-on breakthrough.  From a rather humble, albeit well-supported tenure as Ashville&#8217;s favorite musical sons to media darlings is a road that would cause most to stagger.  The change has seemingly done little but reinforce the [...]]]></description>

From the opening volley of &#8220;I&#8217;m nobody from nowhere you would have heard of anyway,&#8221; it&#8217;s clear that the sophomore release from one of Nashville&#8217;s best bands is determined to deal with the complexities of today&#8217;s music business.
DADDY, a joint project by Will Kimbrough and Tommy Womack, capitalizes on a gathering of talent that mainstream [...]]]></description>

For Memorial Day 1982 my parents decided to take my sister and I to visit my grandfather in Indiana.  In those days, the Indy 500 wasn&#8217;t shown live so we all gathered around the television at night to watch the rebroadcast.  While watching that year&#8217;s race the little weather strip came across the [...]]]></description>

Bennett, whose feud with Jeff Tweedy was well-documented in the critically-acclaimed film &#8220;i am trying to break your heart&#8221;, was amidst a lawsuit against his former band regarding royalty payments.

And they&#8217;ll mow your yard.  Seriously.

In his fourth installment of an interview with Bob Dylan, Bill Flanagan coaxed some info [...]]]></description>

Supreme tea bagger Texas musician, Billy Bob Thornton pulled his best Joaquin Phoenix during an interview with the CBC.  It&#8217;s a priceless example of what it means to be a pretentious ass.  He refuses to acknowledge his acting career and berates the host for even mentioning it.
My favorite is his claim to have [...]]]></description>

Keith&#8217;s lividity further implicated Sharkbitten pal Peter Cooper during a heated confrontation.
Here&#8217;s Peter&#8217;s original story: Ethan Hawke details Kristofferson confrontation.

Dear Publicist,
While I appreciate the glossy photos, the slick brochure and the latest CD from (insert artist&#8217;s name here), I&#8217;d like to request you refrain from sending me anything until you&#8217;ve listened to Billy Joe Shaver&#8217;s Old Five and Dimers Like Me.
