Chesney was innate in Knoxville, TN, in 1968 and raised in the nearby pocket-size ithiel Town of Luttrell, better known as the nursing family of Chet Atkins. He grew up hearing to both land and john Rock & seethe, but didn't catch sober about medicine until college, when he studied marketing at East Tennessee State University. He received a guitar as a Christmas present and arrange about practicing, and was concisely acting with the college bluegrass band. He in short started penning songs as well and played for tips in local venues -- to the highest degree much a Mexican feeding house -- every night he could; to boot, he managed to shop 1,000 copies of a self-released demonstration album. After graduation in 1991, he aroused to Nashville and became the occupant performer at the Turf, a rougher honky tonk in the city's historic territorial territory. While he gained feel, it wasn't the sort of place where he'd be discovered, and in 1992, he moved on to a publication dole out with Acuff-Rose. From at that place he landed a disc constrict with Capricorn and released his debut record album, In My Wildest Dreams, in late 1993. Regrettably for Chesney, Capricorn wasn't practically of a nation label; non only was the album underpromoted, but the label's country division shut depressed completely non long subsequently its release. Still, it sold 100,000 copies and caught the attention of several big time major labels. Chesney concluded up sign language with RCA subsidiary BNA, which released All I Need to Know in 1995. The album gave him his number 1 deuce Top Ten hits in the title track and "Fall in Love." His followup, 1996's Me and You, became his first album to go amber, thanks to deuce bit two singles in the title rail and "When I Close My Eyes." 1997's I Will Stand was some other gold-selling crusade that gave Chesney his first-ever number one hit in "She's Got It All," asset some other routine two with "That's Why I'm Here." His big time breakthrough, however, came with 1999's All over We Go, which sold over iI million copies and spawned iI number unrivalled hits with "You Had Me from Hello" and "How Forever Feels"; it too featured another Top Ten unmarried in "What I Need to Do," and another, "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy," that hardly missed. In 2000, Chesney issued his first Greatest Hits compilation, and two fresh recorded songs -- "I Lost It" and "Don't Happen Twice" -- went to number three and routine one, respectively. Sterling Hits became Chesney's s square double-platinum release and topped the area LP charts. He followed it with the all-new No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem in early 2002, which gave him his strongest commercial-grade operation still. It, to a fault, hit routine one on the area album charts and spun off little Joe Top Ten singles in "Youth," the routine one "The Good Stuff," the Bill Anderson co-write "A Lot of Things Different," and "Magnanimous Star." A Christmas album plugged the gap for 2003, and he returned strongly with 2004's When the Sun Goes Down, which south Korean won in the Album of the Year family at the Country Music Awards. He repeated the acquire, this time as Entertainer of the Year, with Be as You Are (Songs from an Old Blue Chair). Chesney found himself the subject of much tab fresh fish in 2005 with his surprise man and wife to actress Renée Zellweger (he had composed 1999's "You Had Me from Hello" afterwards observation Zellweger in the 1996 motion-picture show Boche Maguire). The partner off split that like year, citing irreconcilable differences, and Chesney released the chart-topping The Road and the Radio in November. In the years that followed, Chesney unbroken fussy, cathartic Alive: Live Those Songs Again in 2006 and Hardly Who I Am: Poets & Pirates in 2007.

Do the A's have it? Musings on Obama's name

In ternion weeks, the Democratic Party will confirm Barack Obama as its nominee. Come Jan. 20, 2009, Inauguration Day, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court could conceivably recite "Barack Hussein Obama" over a Bible on the stairs of the U.S. Capitol.

For many Americans, that's a head-spinning suggestion. In ordination for Obama to win, voters must break with 200-plus days of precedent and do the antecedently unimaginable: Elect a nominee whose last name ends with a vowel other than E.

It's never been done. Historically, Americans prefer their presidential surnames anchored by WASP-y, well-heeled consonants rather than exotic, ethnical vowels.

Only 10 letters have ever served at the end of a presidential moniker. N, R, T and D are the most popular. S, the go-to letter on "Wheel of Fortune, " has capped only three of the 42 different names to occupy the Oval Office: John Adams, John Quincy Adams and Rutherford Hayes. (It's 42 names for 43 presidents because Grover Cleveland served two non-sequential terms.)

Even the innocuous H did not make its debut until the first President Bush. Y is a popular conclusion for adverbs, only not presidents: Had John Kerry prevailed in 2004, his would have been only the third Y coda. (Perhaps losing was a blessing in disguise -- both previous examples, McKinley and Kennedy, were assassinated.)

When E has functioned as a caboose -- Monroe, Fillmore, Pierce, Coolidge -- it is unobtrusive and essentially silent. Coolidge, the nearly recent, left office in 1929. Consonants have faced the right margin on White House letterhead of all time since.

In 2008, Rudy Giuliani stepped out with his jaunty Italian "I" closing curtain. But Republicans backed off from that nominal precipice and acutely nominated John McCain rather. Perhaps not coincidentally, N is the most democratic letter to cap off presidential surnames -- 16 so far. The next most numerous, R, turns up only six times.

Eisenhower is the most adventuresome family name to crow, but its edginess was mitigated by his white bread first and middle names, Dwight David.

That pesky orange red A on the end of Obama is non the presumptive Democratic nominee's only linguistic liability. Obama's first and middle name calling compound the image job. Barack is dicey, just Hussein?

Unusual middle names at times sneak into the White House -- Warren Gamaliel Harding, Rutherford Birchard Hayes, Richard Milhous Nixon. But, in a post-Sadam world, "Hussein" presents obvious obstacles.

The entertainment industriousness allows, and even expects, its stars to anglicize ethnic birth names. Jennifer Aniston's founding father John, a soap opera actor, purged the Greek from the family constitute Anastassakis. Actor Ben Kingsley excised the Indian from Krishna Banji. John Denver drained the German from Deutschendorf. Alphonso D'Abruzzo did just fine with the much less Italian Alan Alda. And the fire-breathing bassist in Kiss rocked to the decidedly Gentile "Gene Simmons" instead of his given Hebrew identity, Chaim Witz.

Such stage names are considered more palatable to the masses; they are easier to think back, pronounce and spell without vestiges of the Old Country. Obama may be a de facto rock candy star, just sterilizing his Kenyan name is not an selection. Congressional and gubernatorial candidates can get away with it, i.e. Piyush "Bobby" Jindal. But presidential aspirants ar at most allowed an informal variation on their real first names: "Jimmy" Carter, "Bill" Clinton, "Dick" Nixon.

It's plausibly too late for "Barry" Obama.

Perhaps Obama's success to date is a sign that America finally is maturing as a place of straight-out opportunity for all; that the immigrant heritage we all ploughshare somewhere down pat the line no yearner requires dilution; and that those of us with A's on the ends of our names -- or I's, O's or U's -- can be president.

Or perchance it means nothing at all. At their most literal, name calling are simply vowels and consonants strung together and imposed on an individual by person else. By that measure, Obama's should matter no more or less than McCain's. There may be substantive reasons to ballot for or against Obama, but his name shouldn't be one of them.

It has been suggested that America would have an easier sentence electing its first shameful president with a more "conventional" mention. Like, say, Colin Powell.

But that, also, would be a stretch: No president's name has ever over with L.

NY women make "Sex and the City" opening-night scene

NEW YORK (Reuters) - "Sex" moved from the city to the cinema on Friday as hordes of determined women descended upon Manhattan for the premiere of "Sex and the City" in the city where the hit television show-turned-film takes place.


"Is there a New York girl that isn't (a fan of the show)?" asked Nikki Lamarine, who stood outside a Times Square cinema as she and about 30 girlfriends clutched opening-night tickets they had secured several weeks in advance.


"If there is, she's weird," Lamarine added.


In honor of the premiere, the women sported bright dresses, high heels and dramatic hats that owed more than a little to the four style-savvy stars of the new film and the hit HBO television series on which it is based.


One of the very few men in the crowd was New Yorker Dennis Castillo, a longtime fan who had come with a group of female friends.


"I'm really excited to see Samantha and all her craziness," said Castillo, referring to one of the four women friends who in the film are portrayed living their lives four years after they left off when the TV show went off the air in 2004.


An online survey of more than 10,000 moviegoers buying tickets for "Sex and the City" found that 94 percent were women, and that 67 percent planned to attend the movie this weekend with a group of female friends.


Several Manhattan bars were serving free Cosmopolitans, a cocktail favored by the foursome on the TV show, to those who had attended opening night.

Often hailed as Sweden's number one big metal band, Heavy Load was founded in Stockholm, in 1976, by brothers Ragne (vocals/guitar) and Styrbjörn Wahlquist (drums/vocals). With bassist Dan Molén in tow, the brothers released Heavy Load's debut album, Full Speed at High Level, in 1978, only their sovereign record company went insolvent, and it wasn't until iII days by and by that they re-emerged on their own Thunderload Records embossment, hoisting aloft the Metal Conquest EP, and accompanied by new members Eddie Malm (guitar) and Torbjorn Ragnesjo (bass). Two more than albums and then followed in prompt succession: 1982's Death or Glory and 1983's Stronger Than Evil -- both establishing Heavy Load's "splendiferous metal" style as a cross 'tween the imagined ridiculousness of Spinal Tap and the all-too-real (only sometimes every bit incredible) proto-power/speed metal of Manowar. Heavy metal fans seemed confused close to this as well, and since their gross sales remained limited at c. H. Best, the group decided to break up following a terminal single entitled "Monsters of the Night" in 1985. Heavy Load briefly reformed in 1987 for a new round of studio roger Huntington Sessions which have so far to be released, so the Wahlquist brothers experience since turned their attentions to producing other bands.

Paul McCartney's global footprint scrutinized

Beatle criticized over shipment of hybrid car





LONDON -- Sometimes it seems Paul McCartney can't win for losing.
The Beatle has long been an outspoken advocate of environmental causes and animal rights. He is a vegetarian who won't even wear leather shoes. But now he's being criticized for having a hybrid Japanese car flown to him in Britain rather than having it sent by ship.
It must have seemed like a good idea at the time. The car in question is an $158,000 Lexus LS 600h, a luxury sedan that offers both high performance and a reassuring "green" patina because it uses a hybrid system that relies on an electric motor at low speeds.
Best of all, it was to be a gift from the Lexus car company, which sponsored McCartney's 2005 tour of the U.S.
But environmentalists quickly pointed out that the use of a cargo plane to deliver the car to England completely offset any environmental gains resulting from the car's use.
"It's like driving the car 300 times around the world," said Gary Rumbold, the director of the British branch of co2balance, which helps businesses and individuals gauge their carbon emissions footprint. "It seems like somebody at Lexus made an error in judgment. They wanted to get something to McCartney promptly, but it backfired. They should have waited a few weeks and sent it by ship."
He said it would have been far less damaging to the environment in terms of carbon emitted into the atmosphere to have shipped the car by sea because so much more cargo can be fitted on a ship than in the cargo hold of a jet.
Rumbold also questioned whether a high performance car such as the LS Lexus 600h -- with a powerful 1.3-gallon (5-liter) V-8 engine and a top speed of 155 mph (250 kph) -- is actually the best use of promising hybrid technology.


It was not clear whether McCartney knew the vehicle would be sent to him via air freight rather than by ship. Rumbold said it seems likely the singer was an innocent victim of a mistake made by Lexus executives.
McCartney's spokesman, Stuart Bell, confirmed that the musician had received the car as a gift and that it had been flown to Britain, but said he could not comment about the decision to use a plane until he had all the details.
David Crouch, a spokesman for Lexus in Britain, said the company also would not comment on the McCartney car delivery.
He did say the LS 600h is a top-of-the-line hybrid designed to compete against the expensive Mercedes S Class and BMW 7 Series since its introduction in Britain late last year. Some 227 have been sold despite the starting price, which rises quickly when more options are added, he said.
"It's selling very well," he said. "You have a gasoline engine which works in conjunction with an electric motor. What it means is the car can run on either power source. At lower speeds it runs on electric power so there is no fuel consumption and no emissions, and if you need higher speeds, the petrol works with the electric motor to give you what you need."
McCartney has had an unusually close relationship with Lexus in recent years. In addition to the sponsorship deal, the ex-Beatle -- who shies away from product endorsements -- has publicly praised Lexus for producing environmentally sensitive cars.
The carmaker also produced a one-of-a-kind McCartney-themed hybrid SUV that was sold off to benefit an anti-landmine charity favored by McCartney and gave one of his recent CD releases a special spot on the company's Web site.

Lucky dip

If they sell four classical LPs a day, it will take the shocked volunteers of a tiny second-hand shop in Devon more than three years to get through their latest donation.Staff at the Oxfam charity shop in Tavistock announced yesterday they had received a collection of more than 4,000 classical LPs - the largest ever gift of its kind. The collection rivals library archives, providing a near-comprehensive record of four decades' worth of recorded classical music.










"It's amazing. I can't think of a classical genre that's missing," said Terry Hyde, an Oxfam volunteer who values music for the shop. "It's all there: all your big figures from the 18th and 19th century, your 20th century unlistenable nightmares by Stockhausen, avant garde, opera, unaccompanied violin - virtually every genre is covered."The music spans the ages, from Mozart and Haydn to Stravinsky and Ligeti. "When I looked at the records they looked virtually unplayed," said Hyde. "With 4,000 records, how often could they really be played? You'd have to listen to them non-stop for years to get through them."Not much is known about the anonymous widow in her 50s who made the gift. Jacky Theobald, the store manager, said: "We had a phone call from a lady, after what I understand was a bereavement. She was ready to move on with her life, as she put it, and we arranged for the records to be collected - as you can imagine it caused an awful lot of logistical issues." The donor is believed to have kept a further collection of 900 CDs at home.The huge collection - much of it temporarily stored in boxes in Hyde's daughter's room - came with an accompanying spreadsheet listing each LP by composer, orchestra, record label, conductor and catalogue number. Many of the records are in boxed sets, including a complete collection of 34 boxes of Bach cantatas."He [the late-owner] had detailed records such as people have with stamps and books. They were all carefully stored alphabetically, so he must have been an avid collector."A few records from the collection went on sale this week, and prices are expected to range from £1.99 to £150. Theobald said records would only be sold online after locals have had an opportunity to buy them. "It is important for people who donate to actually see their gifts in the shop," she said. But selling the huge collection in a shop measuring 4.5m by 6m will not be easy. "It's a small shop, I don't think we'll fit the whole collection in one go. We'll do a Chopin week, a Mozart week, that sort of thing - we'll find a way around it."Oxfam makes around £5m from the sale of film and music each year. The charity has recently received and sold a rare Rolling Stones demo single, a sheet of music signed by Vaughan Williams and a Handel musical score from 1786. Next month a score by Andre Campa will be sold by the charity at a Bonhams auction.For musical cognoscenti, trawling through vintage vinyl collections can reap financial rewards. Experts say that the prevalence of digital music has increased the market value of rare vinyl. The most sought after, Paul McCartney's copy of That'll be the Day, a record by the Quarrymen, the band that later became the Beatles, is thought to be worth more than £100,000.For his part, Hyde has valued the Tavistock collection at around £25,000, a modest estimate based on the fact that the crucial "pressing" dates for the records have not been established. Sorting through the collection while on the phone yesterday, he had already uncovered some gems."These are collectible records, I tell you," he said, rifling through the sleeves."I've got here what are called 'private recordings'. They're white labels; a plain white sleeve that says 'Private Recording Not For Sale'. Some of them are by a very desirable conductor, Wilhelm Furtwängler. These are private recordings from the late 1940s! I don't know - are they worth anything?"

Foxy Brown - Brown Parts With Manager

Rapper FOXY BROWN has parted ways with her manager CHAZ WILLIAMS, accusing him of compiling her new album "without her approval" during her time in jail.

The star - real name Inga Marchand - was sent to prison in September last year (07) for violating her probation, stemming from a 2006 assault conviction for attacking two manicurists in 2004. She was released from New York's Rikers Prison last month (Apr08).

Marchand claims she had no control over the content of Brooklyn Don Diva which was compiled during her eight-month spell behind bars and is due for release next month (Jun08).

And she blames Williams for going ahead with the LP without her and has decided to terminate their working relationship. She insists she would normally have filed legal action but her recent legal woes have put her off spending any more time in court.

She tells Allhiphop.com, "I heard this CD in its entirety for the first time just days ago and was devastated. Riddled with grief over an album that was seemingly so carelessly orchestrated, I sat down with the president of Koch (records) to come to a decision on how to make the best of this situation.

"In another phase of my life and career, I would have dealt with this situation with litigation, but for the benefit of my fans and in the wake of the profound spiritual cleansing I recently underwent in prison, I made the decision to settle our creative differences amicably. My fans have waited seven years for an in-store release and deserve my very best."

Following Marchand's release from prison she was sentenced to three years probation after pleading guilty to attacking a woman with her cellphone last year (Jul07).
