George Jones back in hospital

1999-04-07 Thread Melina Brown

I dont know if this has been posted b/c Im a bit behind on my P2 reading:

JONES AILING AGAIN
George Jones is back in the hospital, two weeks after
being released following a near-fatal car crash. The
country singer was taken to Nashville's Vanderbilt
University Medical Center on Tuesday and was listed in
fair condition. He has "an irregular heartbeat," said a
spokesman for Jones' record company. "They think it
could be due to dehydration." Jones, 67, spent two weeks
at Vanderbilt after nearly dying March 6 when he crashed
his sport utility vehicle into a bridge near his Franklin
home. (A half-empty half-pint of vodka was found in the
wreckage. A grand jury will consider next month whether
Jones will face charges.) He went home March 19.

No offense dude, but if you plan on sending a butload of mail to the lists
could you do it at once? I stopped reading them after number five.



Um...no offense to *you*...um, er...Dude...but you wanna read for a while
and get the lay of the land before you speak for us all? Youre getting
yourself into fighting territory in an area thats already been covered here
time and again.
The delete key is right there on your keyboard if you want to use it.

Fw:Upcoming Birthdays/Happy Birthday Steve Earle

1999-01-14 Thread Melina Brown


   Celebrity Spotlight  Birthdays


   Filed at 1:29 p.m. EST

   By The Associated Press

   In the spotlight: Steve Earle, Nashville's
bad boy 

   Image: ``I got me a fearless heart,''
singer-songwriter Steve Earle has boasted. ``Strong enough
   to get you through the scary parts.'' 

   Personal stats: Born Stephen Fain Earle on
Jan. 17, 1955, in Fort Monroe, Va., Earle grew up
   near San Antonio, Texas. A proficient
guitarist, he was a veteran of the Texas coffeehouse
   circuit by the time he moved to Nashville,
Tenn., in 1974. For the next five years, he worked the
   clubs and shopped for a record deal. 

   His 1986 debut album, ``Guitar Town,''
coincided with the surge of ``New Country'' spearheaded by
   Randy Travis and Dwight Yoakam. The album hit
No. 1 on the country charts. 

   Earle's fearless rock streak -- combined with
graceful lyrics about displaced small-town youth
   -- prompted frequent comparisons to Bruce
Springsteen. (``Real country and real rock are so
   close to being the same that sometimes they
are exactly the same thing,'' Earle says.) 

   From the late 1980s and into the 1990s, Earle
made few inroads onto the country charts. And he
   didn't succeed in the pop sector because he
wasn't considered an all-out rocker. 

   His outspoken ways and wild lifestyle also
took their toll. ``I did things to make things hard on
   myself,'' he says. But after his release from
a drug rehabilitation program in 1995, Earle began to
   fight his way back. 

   ``The music business has left Earle for dead
so many times that no one really expects him to
   bounce back anymore,'' said an article in
Newsweek in 1995. ``So in his utmost ornery fashion,
   that's exactly what he's doing.'' 

   Update: While still in his teens, Earle was
hanging around legendary Texas singer/songwriters
   Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, and his songs
have continued to feed Nashville. Emmylou Harris
   and Patty Loveless are among those who have
recorded his songs. 

   Earle was named No. 1 country artist in
Rolling Stone magazine's recent critics' poll. And his
   album, ``El Corazon,'' was nominated for a
1999 Grammy. 

   Quote: ``All my albums are about the same
thing. Me. It's just the way I see things and you see
   things different at 40 than you did at 31,
especially if you get to be 40 the way I did.''
