“We Are The World” Remake Includes Big Country Music Names

wearetheworld

Just like 25 years ago, when musicians came together for the original “We Are the World,” country stars are in the mix this time, too.

Here are the singers with country ties who took part in the new recording last night: Miley Cyrus, Sugarland, Zac Brown, Julianne Hough and Jeff Bridges. Jeff Bridges has been singing country because of the movie, “Crazy Heart.” They joined dozens of others like Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand, Natalie Cole, the Jonas Brothers, Kanye West, Tony Bennett and Jennifer Hudson.

The original included Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kenny Rogers, which was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie. That first recording raised millions of dollars for famine relief in Africa. Money raised from this new recording is to help the people of Haiti.

Willie Nelson Cancels Show for Bum Hand-Band Cited for Pot & Moon Shine

Willie Nelson

Willie Nelson canceled his North Carolina show on Friday because of a “bum hand” ironically only an hour after his band was issued citations for possession of marijuana and moonshine. Sixty-year old bass player Dan Edward “Bee” Spears, and five others were charged with possession of non-tax-paid alcohol, and two of the six were also charged with marijuana possession.

Police searched the bus after smelling the jonga…

Way to go Willie, stay true to yourself….Don’t let the man get you down.

Thieves Steal More of Country’s Autographed Items Meant for Charity

I guess the economy is really hitting a new low with people breaking into and stealing things that simply don’t belong to them.  First the Charlie Daniels Band Museum in Nashville was hit with more than $200 being stole from a cash register and now a storage unit in Dallas was hit hard.

On Christmas Eve burglars broke into Uncle Bob’s Self Storage in Dallas and took more than 60 celebrity-autographed guitars that were to benefit Friends of Purtis Creek State Park.

Taylor Swift, Trace Adkins, Willie Nelson, Brad Paisley,” Brian Hughes ticked off the names of the stars who had signed his guitars. “Everyone was willing to help; the retailers where I got the guitars and all the artists were willing to sign.”  “The guitars are one of the main sources of income for the Friends of the Park,” he said. “There’s a lot of equipment that we have here that was funded by the Friends.”

Now a guitar autographed by members of the band Rascal Flatts is all that’s left. Hughes had it at his home when the storage unit was picked clean. 

You can find out  more about Friends of Purtis Creek State Park by clicking here.  Anyone with information about the burglary or the whereabouts of the guitars is asked to call Garland police at 972-205-4845.
