Country Music Star Buck Owens Dies at 76 Mar 26, 2006 12:06 pm 295 Views Sun Mar 26, 3:19 AM ET Singer Buck Owens, the flashy rhinestone cowboy who shaped the sound of country music with hits like "Act Naturally" and brought the genre to TV on the long-running "Hee Haw," died Saturday. He was 76. Owens died at his home in Bakersfield, said family spokesman Jim Shaw. The cause of death was not immediately known. Owens had undergone throat cancer surgery in 1993 and was hospitalized with pneumonia in 1997. His career was one of the most phenomenal in country music, with a string of more than 20 No. 1 records, most released from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s. They were recorded with a honky-tonk twang that came to be known throughout California as the "Bakersfield Sound," named for the town 100 miles north of Los Angeles that Owens called home. "I think the reason he was so well known and respected by a younger generation of country musicians was because he was an innovator and rebel," said Shaw, who played keyboards in Owens' band, the Buckaroos. "He did it out of the Nashville establishment. He had a raw edge." Owens, elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1996, was modest when describing his aspirations. "I'd like to be remembered as a guy that came along and did his music, did his best and showed up on time, clean and ready to do the job, wrote a few songs and had a hell of a time," he said in 1992. An indefatigable performer, Owens played a red, white and blue guitar with fireball fervor. He and the Buckaroos wore flashy rhinestone suits in an era when flash was as important to country music as fiddles. "When people start looking back on his career, they are going to be surprised by the number of things he did first," said guitarist Roy Clark, who worked with Owens on "Hee Haw." "He left a great legacy in country music." Among his biggest hits were "Together Again" (also recorded by Emmylou Harris), "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail," "Love's Gonna Live Here," "My Heart Skips a Beat" and "Waitin' in Your Welfare Line." And he was the answer to this music trivia question: What country star had a hit record that was later done by the Beatles? "Those guys were phenomenal," Owens once said. Ringo Starr recorded "Act Naturally" twice, singing lead on the Beatles' 1965 version and recording it as a duet with Owens in 1989. The song, by Johnny Russell and Voni Morrison, tells of a poor soul who foresees a movie career playing "a man who's sad and lonely, and all I gotta do is act naturally. ... Might win an Oscar, you can never tell." In addition to music, Owens had a highly visible TV career as co-host of "Hee Haw" from 1969 to 1986. With Clark, he led viewers through a potpourri of country music and hayseed humor. "It's an honest show," Owens told The Associated Press in 1995. "There's no social message no crusade. It's fun and simple." Owens himself could be rebellious, choosing among other things to label what he did "American music" rather than country. "I took a little heat," he once said. "People asked me, `Isn't country music good enough for you?' " He also criticized the syrupy arrangements of some country singers, saying "assembly-line, robot music turns me off." After his string of hits, Owens stayed away from the recording scene for a decade, returning in 1988 to record another No. 1 record, "Streets of Bakersfield," with Dwight Yoakam. Yoakam said he saw Owens just days before his death. "Even though he seemed in a somewhat fragile physical state, he was emotionally exuberant and still living life in a forward motion, discussing a variety of plans for his future," Yoakam said in a statement. "I will cherish, forever, the musical moments he graciously shared with me during his life. I will be eternally grateful for his fatherly chastisements, encouragement and, ultimately, his friendship and love." He spent much of his time away concentrating on his business interests, which included a Bakersfield TV station and radio stations in Bakersfield and Phoenix. "I never wanted to hang around like the punch-drunk fighter," he told The Associated Press in 1992. He had moved to Bakersfield in 1951, hoping to find work in the thriving juke joints of what in the years before suburban sprawl was a truck-stop town on Highway 99, between Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay area. "We played rhumbas and tangos and sambas, and we played Bob Wills music, lots of Bob Wills music," he said, referring to the bandleader who was the king of Western swing. "And lots of rock 'n' roll," he added. Owens started recording in the mid-1950s, but gained little success until 1963 with "Act Naturally," his first No. 1 single. Alvis Edgar Owens Jr. was born in 1929 outside Sherman, Texas, the son of a sharecropper. With opportunities scarce during the Depression, the family moved to Arizona when he was 8. He dropped out of school at age 13 to haul produce and harvest crops, and by 16 he was playing music in taverns. He once told an audience, "When I was a little bitty kid, I used to dream about playing the guitar and singing like some of those great people that we had the old, thick records of." Owens' first wife, Bonnie Owens, sometimes performed with him and went on to become a leading backup singer after their divorce in 1955. She had occasional solo hits in the '60s, as well as successful duets with her second husband, Merle Haggard. One of her two sons with Owens also became a singer, using the name Buddy Alan. He had a Top 10 hit in 1968, "Let the World Keep on a-Turnin'," and recorded a number of duets with his father. In addition to Buddy, he is survived by two other sons, Michael and John. 6 Comments

Laura Bush lauds pioneering role of Kuwaiti women Mar 25, 2006 7:10 am 355 Views Laura Bush lauds pioneering role of Kuwaiti women; Brave write a new chapter WASHINGTON (KUNA): US First Lady Laura Bush said on Friday the women in Kuwait, preparing for the first time in the political history of Kuwait to join their fellow countrymen fully and equally in next year’s Parliamentary elections after they gained their political rights last year, serve as role models and examples for other countries. She added that gains have helped other struggling women in the region to increase pressure until their demands are answered. In an exclusive interview with KUNA, Laura Bush said women in Kuwait along with others in both the Middle East and internationally whom she described as “brave” have written a “new chapter” in the political history that is leading to wider participation in government decision-making. “Chile, Germany and Liberia have all elected women for the first time to serve as the leaders of their countries. These women, as well as the women of Kuwait, serve as role models and examples of achievement in leadership for young girls worldwide,” she said in reference to the victory of the leaders of the three countries. After decades of struggle and political demand, women in Kuwait have succeeded in obtaining their full political rights the Kuwaiti Parliament last year voted for allowing women to join their fellow men in both running and voting in the elections, paving the way for their first participation in the 2007 parliamentary elections. Such a struggle, the First Lady said, is fully known by the women by America who themselves fought for many decades until they won their political rights. “The people of the United States share your goal, and the women of the United States know your struggle. It was only in the last century, 150 years after our declarations of independence, that women attained the vote in the United States,” she said, describing such a struggle as worthy. She added that such political gains for women in Kuwait along with the elections in Iraq and the Palestinian territories have helped others who are struggling to gain similar rights to enforce, enhance and apply more pressure to win their demands. “Brave men and women across the Middle East are writing a new chapter in the story of self-government. They have gone to the polls in Afghanistan, in Iraq and in the Palestinian territories. “All people, men and women, want to contribute to the success of their country. And all people, men and women, must have the opportunity to do so. Women who have not yet won these rights are watching. They are calling on the conscience of their countrymen, making it clear that if the right to vote is to have any meaning, it cannot be limited only to men,” she said. The First Lady made it clear that a nation can only achieve its best future and its brightest potential when all of its citizens, men and women, participate in the government and in decision-making. But Laura Bush stressed that women in Kuwait should not celebrate their rights without planning to prepare the ground of leadership for the young generation of girls, saying her message to women in Kuwait is “education” as it remains the best tool to prepare the younger generation for the leadership of the future. “A key way we nurture the development of the next generation of women leaders is through education. Education is the foundation of a happy and healthy life. Educated children grow up to be adults who have more opportunities to work, to support their families, and to fully participate in the life of their communities. It’s so important to educate boys and girls, because boys and girls can make important contributions to our world,” she said. Laura Bush, a key advocate of quality education worldwide, was the first American first Lady ever to attend two Kuwaiti functions in Washington as a guest of honor in reflection of appreciation of Kuwait’s continued support for education and other humanitarian issues worldwide. Last month, she attended a fundraising ceremony hosted by Kuwait’s Embassy to support education in Afghanistan and offered her profound appreciation to Kuwait for its continuous support for quality education worldwide. Asked to elaborate more on her husband, President George Bush’s strategy to support education in the Middle East, the First Lady pointed to the Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEP, a program established by the US President with the aim of improving education, democracy, understanding between the people of the United States and the Middle East and defending the rights of all citizens. 15 Comments

CANCER HOAX Mar 25, 2006 6:46 am 332 Views cancer hoax Woman gets probation for cancer hoax Ohioan must return donations made by community members. URBANA, Ohio - A woman who accepted $6,400 in donations after shaving her head and dyeing her skin to make it appear she had cancer has been sentenced to three days in jail and three years of probation. Katrina Combs’ ruse went on for about three years before a co-worker raised concerns to police, said Mindy Baily, Combs’ former boss at a nursing facility. “We had a community-wide chili supper in 2001, and we were having bake sales every week and giving her the proceeds,” Bailey said. Combs, 31, said she felt she couldn’t come clean after taking the money. “I only took money once, and after that, I felt like I couldn’t tell them,” Combs said at her sentencing Thursday. “I used the money for bills, but I never bought anything for myself or my family.” Under her sentence, she must return the donations, pay a $500 fine and also serve 400 hours of community service. In a similar case in the same small central Ohio town, a woman pleaded guilty in August to theft and endangering a child for receiving $31,000 in donations after she shaved her daughter’s hair and gave her sleeping pills to make it appear that the girl was receiving chemotherapy. Teresa Milbrandt was sentenced to 6½ years in prison. Her husband, Robert Milbrandt, received four years and 11 months, though he didn’t admit a role in the hoax. Urbana, 50 miles west of Columbus, has about 11,500 residents. (AP Associated press] 10 Comments
