... has been one of our bedrock institutions for over 200 years. Judith A. Guilbeaux, Frisco. Price will be judged in court. Re: "Blacks' view of Price trial is gray - Lens splits between unfair treatment, desire for new leader," Monday news story. This article blatantly confirms that a great number of folks support John Wiley Price based upon the color of his skin and not as to whether he is innocent or guilty based upon the evidence. They even go so far as to say, and I quote your article, "even if there is evidence that he committed a crime.". I feel no individual deserves this kind of support regardless of race, religion, sex or position in society. For my part, I will depend on the justice system to blindly decide his fate and will accept the verdict from that process - whether I like it or not. Duane Smith, Malakoff. A Trump-free front page. Just a quick thank you for making my morning ...

Tragic Willie Nelson Fighting To Breathe

... is so ill, he can’t muster the breath to sing — and his desperate battle for life has forced the Red Headed Stranger singer to cancel two shows at Las Vegas’ glitzy Venetian Resort, says a source. The 83-year-old pothead has been ravaged by emphysema and pneumonia in recent years, now sources say he’s weak as a baby. “Willie’s been so frail and gaunt… a pale shadow of the man he used to be,” a source tells Radar. “He’s never fully recovered from the last time when he was deathly ill, more than a year ago. It’s now come back to hit him like a ton of bricks. PHOTOS: Flirting With Disaster! Selena’s Fling With The Weeknd Leaves Closest Friends ‘Worried’. “If he can’t get a deep breath in and his voice is a croak — there’s no way he can sing.”. The music icon’s reps ­apologized for his no-shows on his Facebook page, ­sending regrets for axing performances “due to recent illness” and announcing the shows “will not be rescheduled.”.

Watch Willie Nelson's Latest Video, 'it Gets Easier,' From 'god's Problem Child' Album

... which The Times is premiering. It was written by Nelson with another longtime collaborator, songwriter-producer Buddy Cannon, who has steered the proceedings on the new album. The black-and-white video opens with a shot of blades of grass gently blowing in the wind and the sun on the horizon. Nelson channels a sense of freedom that comes with advancing years and the inevitability of certain regrets as he continues, “I don’t have to do/ One damn thing I don’t want to do/ Except for missing you/ And that won’t go away.”. The outdoor scenes are interwoven with footage of Nelson seated in a recording studio before a microphone, gently singing the song using his signature elastic phrasing, no unnecessary frills in his wispy-around-the-edges vocal. “We weren’t planning on making a concept record or anything,” Cannon told music journalist Mikal Gilmore in an essay about the album that’s expected to be posted on Nelson’s website , “but it kind of turned out like that.”. Along with “It Gets Easier,” Nelson and Cannon wrote eight other songs for the collection, the most Nelson has composed for an album in ...

... so cutting back on secret concerts from A-listers and showcases sponsored by brand-name products could help SXSW regain some of its cool cache. (That being said, there are still plenty of recognizable names at the venerable Austin festival this year, whether they're performing, giving a keynote speech or sitting on a panel.). Below, Billboard's on-the-scene reporters share standout moments from Day 1 of the music portion of SXSW, from the dive bars to the industry panels. 3:43 p.m. -  Kesha took the stage in Ballroom D for her keynote interview with Refinery 29 chief content editor Amy Emmerich, clad in a Gram Parsons -esque nudie suit, starting out the talk by discussing how nervous she was to just chat for an hour in front of a room full of people, rather than perform. Her anxiety quickly lifted, though, for an often-moving, often-funny discussion about online bullying and how to stop it, clearly a topic close to the performer's heart. - Jeff Miller. ...

Yes, Caroline, There Is A Willie Nelson

... been. The most real things in all of Texas are those that neither roughnecks nor cowpokes can see. Did you ever see the lights dancing on the desert in Marfa? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. You may tear apart a snake's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there's a Stetson covering the unseen world that neither the toughest cowboy, nor even the strength of all the cowboys that ever rode through Texas, could lift. It takes faith, pride, love and a guitar named Trigger to reveal the world of sublime, beautiful things that come together to make a true Texan. Is it all real? Pshaw, Caroline, in all the Lone Star State there is nothing else quite as real. Introducing Texana, a Facebook group for Lone Star stories. No Willie Nelson?! B'God!

A few thousand years from now, Caroline, naw, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make every boot scoot deep in the heart of Texas.
