Busy Weekend
So, I have a busy weekend coming up. Tonight, I have a bachelor party to go to for one of my best friends. He's biting the bullet and getting married (or so he says). But I'll be nice, congratulations John and Kristen!!! That's them on the right. So, I'll be doing that tonight. Then, tomorrow, we'll begin celebrating one of the greatest days 
in the history of the world, my birthday! Yeah, I'll be turning ??? so, we're gonna party it up and go out in Louisville. And now, since I've figured out mobile posting to the blog, I'll try to post pics, if they can posted on a PG blog. But, if I don't do the whole mobile posting thing, because I may not be in a shape to, you can follow me on twitter! I'll be "tweeting" the whole weekend. OK, I really never though I'd post the word "tweeting" but there's a first time for everything! So, here's hoping your weekend is as good as mine is gonna be! And, if mine isn't, you all are for a lot of bitching come next week. Happy Weekend!
Your Daily Dose of The Oak Ridge Boys
Watch them performing their hit "Seven Nation Army" from their new CD The Boys Are Back. It's even better live than on the CD, and personally, I didn't think that was possible.
The Reader
So I finally got around to watching The Reader last night. I had been wanting to see it for a while, mostly because I just LOVE Kate Winslet. The move was good but HORRIBLY depressing. Don't watch it if you're in a downer of a mood because you'll commit suicide. But, I love sad movies so, it was all good with me. Watch it, it's a good one.Can't Wait to See This!
The Proposal opens today and it looks great! And, Betty White is in it, and I LOVE Betty White!!! Who doesn't, right?? So, go and see the movie, maybe you'll see me there! And watch this friggin hilarious press video from the film, featuring Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds and Betty White!(If the video doesn't load, click the link below it.)

DAMN! What a storm
So, the apocolypse rolled through Richmond, KY today (or what I was convinced was the apocolypse). I was standing outside, minding my own business when a damn tree snapped like 20 yards from me! Yeah, it was bad here.

OMG ARE YOU SERIOUS???
Adam Lambert is gay???? Apparently so, he just "came out" in the new issue of Rolling Stone. Came out??? I thought he came out when he came out of the womb?
So I've been MIA
Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but I've been out of commission for pretty much the last two weeks. First I had a bad bout with the Stomach Flu and it won and then I got Pharyngitis (whatever that is) which I was told was a strain of Strep Throat. But, anyhow, I'm back and I'll posting away!
Loretta Lynn Is a Legend, but She’s Also Just Plain Kind
Put simply, Loretta Lynn is the "Queen of Country Music." The just-turned-74 singer occupies rarefied air in the pantheon of country musicians, and deservedly so. She's enjoyed a slew of chart-topping hits since the early '60s, including "Don't Come Home A- Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)," "One's on the Way," "Rated X," and, of course, "Coal Miner's Daughter." She's revered not only for her terrific music, her vivid and authentic storytelling, and her one-of-a-kind voice — a sepia-toned, clarion marvel, all at once feisty, resolute, world-weary, and optimistic — but for writing and singing about philandering, abusive men, and the women who weren't gonna take that crap no more, which turned her into a feminist icon, even for the nominally conservative set.Along with her friend and fellow singer Conway Twitty, she formed one of the most successful duos in the history of country music, scoring numerous number-one hits throughout the '70s. Her life story was the basis for the excellent 1980 film Coal Miner's Daughter, starring Sissy Spacek (who won an Oscar for her riveting portrayal of Lynn's hardscrabble early years in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky). She had the vision to team up with the White Stripes' Jack White (who did for Lynn what Rick Rubin did for Johnny Cash) on the remarkable 2004 album Van Lear Rose, which perfectly captured her essence for a whole new generation of fans. She's won Grammys and American Music Awards galore, been inducted to multiple Halls of Fame, been feted as a Kennedy Center Honoree, and gotten a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
And, from all accounts, she's a nice, nice lady. In fact, the only negative thing I could unearth about Loretta Lynn —- and it's not even directly about her — comes from my friend Jeremy, who says that her restaurant, Loretta Lynn's Kitchen (in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee) — which serves up some of her family's old-time recipes — "was full of rednecks when I was there in 1995."
I've never been there, so I can't say, but I would love to go because just down the road is yet one more fabulous thing the singer's bestowed upon the world: Loretta Lynn's Ranch, one of America's greatest and most popular roadside attractions. It may not have the roller coasters and log flume rides of fellow country icon Dolly Parton's Dollywood — which is 300 miles to the east in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee — but it's got a Loretta Lynn museum, a replica of her old family shack, a coal mine, a flea market, an RV park, and concert venues where Loretta regularly performs.
Call it hokey, but I think it's charming, and how many of today's female country stars will be able to pull off something like that several decades from now? Taylor Swift Land, where you go into a room, press a button, and hear the entire 27-second phone call in which Jonas Brother Joe broke up with her? Carrie Underwood Park, with a museum featuring wax statues of American Idol's Simon Cowell and Ryan Seacrest, and the jerseys of all the athletes (the Dallas Cowboys' Tony Romo, the Ottawa Senators' Mike Fisher) that she's dated or will date? Nah. Let's face it: Loretta Lynn is the last of her kind — a supremely tough and talented gal who turned coal into diamonds. Every opportunity to see her live is one not to be missed. And despite all the rednecks, I hear the cornbread at Loretta Lynn's Kitchen is fantastic.
