Hicks’ latest tells story of Gen. Hood A Separate Country by Robert Hicks, 432 pages; Grand Central, $25.99

BY charlene harris Special to The Star

A Separate Country by Robert Hicks is a fictional look at the life of a very real Confederate general — John Bell Hood.

The novel is set in post war New Orleans where Hood, his wife, Anna Marie Hennen, and their 11 children resided. Hood was promoted to general by Robert E. Lee after the battle of Antietam. He walked away from the Civil War with his life, but left a right arm and left leg behind in the fracas.

Never winning a battle under his command, Hood spent a great deal of time trying to pass the buck. Schooled at West Point, he was well-liked by his superiors more for his bravado than academics.

His larger assets were his beautiful wife and his ability to read political situations, which he used to his advantage for advancements. Hood spent much of time self-promoting.

There are two sets of diaries in A Separate Country. The first is Hood’s and the second belonged to his wife, Anna.

In Hood’s diary, he laments the loss of men’s lives under his watch as general.

He was constantly obsessed by the horrifying battles he endured. And like many troops today, he probably suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

He was the son of a doctor in Kentucky.

But, it was through his uncle, who was in the House of Representatives, that Hood made his way into West Point. Gen. William Hardee did not share the same affection for Hood that others did. Hood had tried to blame two of his losses on Hardee. In 1856, Hardee made a notation in one of his reports that said, “It is well known that I felt unwilling to serve under General Hood upon his succession to the command of the Army of Tennessee, because I believed him, though a tried and gallant officer, to be unequal in both experience and natural ability to so important a command.”

New Orleans didn’t look any more favorably on Hood. Business attempt after business attempt failed. Yet, Anna was determined in her support for her

husband. She had taught him how to be loved and how to love in return.

Though he remained arrogant the rest of his life, Hood learned to be more open and honest about his emotions, which was sorely needed.

To the day, his name is well-known at Fort Hood, Texas. But, his final battle came in the form of a yellow fever outbreak in New Orleans. This was one battle he could not find a scapegoat for, and another battle he would not defeat. Gen. Hood died in 1879, leaving behind nine orphaned children and a small grave where Anna was buried.

Robert Hicks is well-known for skillful and passionate writing about Civil War history. This one is no different. It is an interesting take on one of many Southern generals. In 1881, Anna’s family made the decision to “unearth them both and entombed them together in the Hennen plot,” a fitting place for these two lovers and friends.

Some have said the dialogue is authentic and the voices of the characters are right on the money. Others have reviewed it as a tough read. This reader discovered a little of both. The poverty that surrounds the characters is real, including the pushing of drugs. The players are also real, and what you

would expect from a forgotten area in New York.

Burgess does not cut corners with his descriptive prose.

His characters can be real at times, and then there are times when it seems manipulated.

There should never be necessary to tell someone not to read a book. This one was just not my cup of tea. It dragged in places where it should have kicked into high gear. But, like any other literature, Dogfight has its audience. Matt Burgess has been heralded by the New York Times as “a brilliant new voice in contemporary literature.”

Maybe. But, this reader will take a pass on Dogfight, A Love Story.

CAST revives ‘Boomers’ for storm victims

By Erin Williams Special to The Star

An evening of song, dance and relief is coming to Anniston Performing Arts Center for one night only.

The Community Actors Studio Theater, better known as CAST, is bringing back the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s musical-themed hit Boomers, The Musical Experience for a special benefit performance Aug. 27. The show is being performed in conjunction with the night’s overall event, titled “AFTER” (Actors for Tornado Emergency Relief). This special production is co-produced by Knox Concert Series, with all proceeds benefiting tornado victims from the April 27 storms that hit Calhoun County.

CAST artistic director Kim Dobbs created Boomers as a tribute to the music that she and other baby boomers grew up on.

“Many of the songs still have a life,” she said.

The show features several blasts from the past, including The Beach Boys, Motown, the British invasion and television standouts like I Love Lucy and Sonny and Cher.

“It’s just a tribute to what made us who we are today,” said Dobbs, who, at 64, is a boomer herself. “A lot of

great, great music.”

Those who are familiar with the show will be happy to see that nearly all of the principal actors from the last run — which closed out the 2010-2011 season — are back, including actress Valerie Payton, who will reprise her role as Aretha Franklin.

“I got really lucky that I could bring in what I call ‘the best,’” Dobbs said.

The last time Boomers was presented, however, Dobbs was dealing with the aftermath of the natural disaster herself, as the preview night for the show was the day after the storms rolled through.

“Several of my people hadn’t been to bed at all,” she said. Many members of the cast, including a sheriff’s deputy, were dealing with the aftermath of the storm, and several of the cast members were volunteers as well, Dobbs said.

Because of that, she came prepared.

“I had plan A, plan B, plan AB, plan BA, plan C, plan D and plan E,” she said. “I had to implement many of those plans during the course of the show.”

But the run ultimately was a success. “We did our job,” she said.

Dobbs is “ecstatic” to bring the show back, and feels honored to do it

for such a deserving cause.

“I’m delighted to have the opportunity to do something for the victims … that hopefully will lift the spirit and also assist them in the recovery of their lives,” she said. “I’m just wanting to have a big, big audience so that we can do something great for the members of our community who have suffered.”

For first-time Boomers, the show promises to be both reminiscent and engaging.

“It’s an exciting, moving and fun journey that we take [the audience] on,” Dobbs said. “We try to revive memories [of] those who were there, and create new memories for those who weren’t there.”

Individual tickets for the AFTER event are $20 and can be purchased by calling 256-820-CAST, visiting castalabama.org, and at local businesses. For more information, visit calhouncountytornadorelief.org.

CAST will open the 2011-2012 season with the off-Broadway hit I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, Sept.

21–26.

Outdoor concerts look to amp up safety concerns

By Sophia Tareen Associated Press

Richard Drew/Associated Press

The band KISS was dropped from the Michael Jackson tribute concert after rumors that Gene Simmons had been critical of Jackson.

Kiss removed from tribute concert lineup

By Anthony Mccartney Associated Press

Organizers of a Michael Jackson tribute concert dropped Kiss from the lineup after receiving widespread criticism for booking the band despite critical comments toward the late pop singer by bassist Gene Simmons.

The announcement Tuesday came a day after Global Live Events announced Kiss would join the show planned for Oct. 8 in Cardiff, Wales.

Fans, media and the singer’s estate quickly noted that Simmons has said in recent years that he was convinced Jackson molested children. Some of the critical comments came within days of Jackson’s June 2009 death.

Jackson was acquitted of molestation charges after a 2005 trial in California.

Some of Simmons’ harshest comments came last year in an interview with Classic Rock magazine. “Well, you know, where there’s smoke there’s fire,” Simmons said regarding accusations that Jackson abused young boys.

“There’s no question in my mind he molested those kids. Not a doubt.”

Global Events Live CEO Chris Hunt accepted blame, calling Kiss’ booking an “oversight.”

“Under the circumstances, we fully agree that even though Kiss is a band Michael admired, we have no choice but to rescind our invitation to them to appear in our tribute concert,” Hunt wrote in a statement.

A spokeswoman for the band was not immediately available for comment.

It is the latest stumble for a show that is endorsed by Jackson’s mother and several siblings but is opposed by brothers Jermaine and Randy.

The brothers have noted that the show is scheduled to happen during the involuntary manslaughter trial of a doctor charged in Michael Jackson’s death.

Fans have protested ticket prices —which start at nearly $100 — the lineup and the show’s faraway location since “Michael Forever — The Tribute Concert” was announced last month.

Howard Weitzman, an attorney for Jackson’s estate, questioned the show in a letter sent to Hunt on Tuesday, questioning whether any of the show’s proceeds would be going to charity, as promoters have claimed.

Kiss’ departure leaves Smokey Robinson, Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green as the show’s superstars.

When thunderstorms slammed New York’s Central Park before this summer’s highly anticipated Black Eyed Peas concert, officials made the rare decision to call off the event. Tens of thousands of fans were livid, but safety experts praise the decision for bucking the industry’s aversion to such last-minute cancellations.

As the multi-billion-dollar outdoor concert business has evolved from little more than shows under a canopied stage to productions featuring up to 20 tons of lighting and video equipment, experts point to the Indiana State Fair’s fatal stage collapse and several similar accidents as evidence of the necessity for caution — and regulation.

“It’s the Wild West when it comes to standards and guidance and consistency,” said Paul Wertheimer, founder of the consulting service Crowd Management Strategies.

Concert mayhem is neither new nor unique. Eleven people died as crowds pushed their way into a 1979 The Who concert in Cincinnati. The Indiana collapse that killed five people and injured dozens of others Saturday, when powerful winds toppled a huge stage onto an audience awaiting Sugarland show, was among several more recent incidents.

Academy of Country Music CEO Bob Romeo remembers when the first stage tops were built simply to provide shade from the sun. Now, as productions expand to include massive video equipment and up to 40,000 pounds of lights, Romeo says he has to balance safety concerns with putting on the best possible show.

Darron Cummings/Associated Press

After high winds toppled a huge outdoor stage in Indiana, killing five people and injuring at least four dozen, questions about whether the fair did enough to anticipate a storm have loomed over the event.

Romeo said he decided last year, when the televised ACM Awards found it needed to accommodate more than its MGM Grand event space in Las Vegas could hold, to go with additional indoor space at Mandalay Bay. “Whenever you’re outside, there’s a risk. It just is.

It’s an inherent risk. It’s been in the fair and festival business from day one,” he said.

With album sales dwindling and record companies struggling, artists depend on concert ticket sales and merchandising to boost their bottom line more than ever.

Revenues for the 100 topselling North American tours were $1.1 billion for the first half of 2011, a rise of 16 percent following lackluster sales in 2010.

“There’s an expectation,” said Jacob Worek, who runs Portland, Ore.,-based Event Safety Consultants. “If you’re going to spend that money, you’re going to be given a bigger show.”

Safety regulations, experts say, haven’t kept up

the pace in part because they aren’t standard. No single government agency oversees or sets rules for outdoor concerts, leaving a range of guidelines across events.

Indiana State Fair officials acknowledged Wednesday that the fair did not follow its one-page severe weather emergency plan before Saturday’s collapse and that fans should have been told that the National Weather Service had issued a severe thunderstorm warning.

Alan Morgenstern, who owns Morningstar Productions, a Southern California-based company that has provided stages for musicians said more attention needs to be focused on keeping people on or near stages safe as they continue to grow.

“The guys who work for me are extremely careful and take time to go the extra mile for safety, and I think that’s the key,” he said.

“You really have to think that when you’re putting something over people’s heads, it’s got to be safe.”

Beyonce showcases her dominance at concert

By Nekesa Mumbi Moody Associated Press

With 16 Grammys, millions of records sold, several defining hits and a superstar husband among her accomplishments, Beyonce has nothing to prove.

But sometimes, even queens need to show what it means to be royalty. And on Sunday night, Beyonce arrived at the Roseland Ballroom to give fans and critics alike a reminder that despite chatter that might try to suggest otherwise, she remains the head diva in the music world, and she made her case to a select group of fans, one rump-shaking move at a time.

But she clearly had more on her agenda for this concert, the first of a four-night stand at the

famed concert hall. While she usually performs for audiences of around 20,000, she downsized at Roseland for a sold-out crowd of about 3,000 to promote her new album 4, which has received critical acclaim and gone gold since its June release but has not dominated sales and radio charts like her previous three solo albums, all multiplatinum successes with multiple hits.

The album’s release came at a critical time for Beyonce, with the 29-year-old firing her father and longtime manager Matthew Knowles and taking Charles Sykes/Associated Press control of her own career, amid Beyonce performs on ‘Good Morning America.’ With 16 Gramthe increasing chart dominance mys, millions of records sold, Beyonce has nothing to prove. of competing acts like Lady discussion about whether her Backed by her all-female Gaga and Rihanna.

A barbaric bore Lionsgate/Associated Press

Jason Momoa portrays Conan in a scene from ‘Conan the Barbarian.’

‘Conan’ remake has very little that’s pleasurable

By Christy Lemire Associated Press

No one ever turns into a giant snake in the new Conan the Barbarian.

That, in a nutshell, is what’s wrong with this remake: The knowing sense of big, ridiculous fun that marked the 1982 original is gone, and in its place we get a selfserious series of generic sword battles and expository conversations.

Fight, talk, fight, talk, fight, talk, then an enormous throwdown followed by a denouement that dangles the possibility of a sequel (dear God, no) — that’s the basic structure here. And yet, despite seeming so simplistic, director Marcus Nispel’s film is mind-numbingly convoluted. The fact that it’s been converted to a murky, smudgy, barely-used 3-D doesn’t help matters. At one point, I scrawled in my notes: “Incomprehensible underwater serpent attack.”

There you have it.

The script is credited to three writers, based on Robert E. Howard’s Conan char-

acter, but everyone involved would probably prefer that you not think of this as a remake.

Remakes have become Nispel’s bread and butter in recent years. The longtime music-video director also made the 2003 version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the 2009 version of Friday the 13th.

But while the original Conan — the movie that signaled the arrival of Arnold Schwarzenegger as a bona fide movie star — looks extremely dated nearly 30 years later, it still functions just fine as both an epic adventure tale and an admitted guilty pleasure.

There’s very little that’s pleasurable in this new Conan, aside from allowing us to ogle the muscular, 6-foot-5 physique of upand-coming action star Jason Momoa. If you’re into that kind of thing, that is — he is a spectacle to behold, albeit in a romancenovel cover-model kind of way.

“I live. I love. I slay ... I am content,” Conan says to the innocent Tamara (Rachel Nichols), whom he’s been tasked with protecting. Not quite as poetic as one of

rating: R for strong bloody violence, some sexuality and nudity Running time: 1:42 Starring: Jason Momoa, Rachel Nichols, Stephen Lang, Rose McGowan, Ron Perlman Directed by: Marcus Nispel Schwarzenegger’s most famous lines: “To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women,” but at least we know he’s confident enough to avoid suffering an existential crisis. Good for him. He also doesn’t evolve, though, which doesn’t make him terribly compelling. It didn’t seem possible for there to be even less characterization than there was in the original Conan, but voila.

Once again, the Cimmerian warrior is on a mission to avenge the deaths of his

father (Ron Perlman, who’s in no way being put to his best use) and the rest of his village. He’s after the evil warlord Khalar Zym (Stephen Lang), who’s after the Mask of Acheron, which resembles a dried-up octopus. But it can spring to life and provide unlimited power to the wearer with the help of some drops of pure blood — which Tamara has. Hence, she’s in demand.

Khalar Zym is aided in his quest by his half-witch daughter Marique, played by an over-the-top Rose McGowan in the kind of daring, skin-baring outfits she used to wear on the red carpet when she was still dating Marilyn Manson. Marique tries out her burgeoning supernatural powers in a battle with Conan himself, but when it comes time to fight Tamara as part of the film’s climax, it’s all mano-a-mano. Why? Because it’s sexier for them to be writhing around on the ground with each other.

If only the rest of the movie had such an unabashed sense of camp, we might have been onto something.

‘Fright Night’: A tale of two Jerrys

Review | Movie

Farrell’s fantastic in ‘Fright Night’

By Rick Bentley McClatchy Newspapers

DreamWorks/MCT

Charley Brewster’s (Anton Yelchin, left) defenses are useless against a powerful vampire like Jerry (Colin Farrell) in ‘Fright Night.’

By Roger Moore The Orlando Sentinel

Can a 3-D horror movie be a thing of beauty? In the case of the remake of Fright Night, the answer is “Yes!” This violent and violently funny vampire tale covers no new ground, sporting the same jokey tone as the original. But there’s a quirky sensibility that we might attribute to director Craig Gillespie, who gave us the gently twisted Lars and the Real Girl. Fright Night can also boast of having the best vampire-villain in ages: The bushybrowed Colin Farrell was BORN to wear fangs.

But hiring Javier Aguirresarobe, who shot Goya’s Ghosts, New Moon and Vicky Cristina Barcelona, also was a coup. His 3-D camera sweeps into smoky, shadowy rooms, lit only by candles or a flickering TV screen, through the empty streets of a Vegas suburb and into the garish neon of Las Vegas itself.

Yeah, the screen hurls blood, guts, shattered glass, arrows and crucifixes right in our face. It is a 3-D horror movie, after all. But the look here is as striking as any film to use 3-D. The story? Kids and adults are disappearing. But the economy’s bad and foreclosed houses are everywhere. And besides, as Charley (Anton

FRIGHT NIGHT HHH

LOS ANGELES — Jerry.

Who ever heard of a vampire named Jerry?

They’re supposed to have names like Barnabas, Angelus, Spike or Count.

Fans of the 1985 horror classic Fright Night know Jerry was the name of the blood-sucking neighbor, played by Chris Sarandon, who made life miserable for those on his block, especially the teen-aged Charley (played by William Ragsdale). Jerry remains the name of the vampire in the remake starring Colin Farrell, as he also becomes the bane of Charley’s (Anton Yelchin) life.

The name’s the same but the actors play the role differently.

Farrell, who was 11 years old when he saw Sarandon’s version, remains a huge fan of the original, and says that’s why he opted to play Jerry with a darker edge where he’s driven savagely by his blood lust.

“Chris was so dignified and so elegant,” Farrell says. “I would have been so concerned about walking in his shadow if the film had not been designed in a very different way. I think Chris Sarandon’s vampire had some human attributes as well. He kind of has a sense of compassion for Charley in the original.

“He wants to be very diplomatic with Charley when he tells him if we just stay away from each other, things don’t have to be nasty.”

Farrell’s version of that scene is far more of a stern warning than a friendly suggestion. His Jerry is the kind of guy who looks at humans the same way a child looks at a butterfly before tearing off its wings. The difference proved liberating to Farrell, easing his walk in Jerry’s shoes.

Sarandon says he was excited when he heard about the remake but was worried they’d mess it up (his words were a little more colorful). Those fears were calmed when he saw that the new version has the right chills and thrills for a contemporary audience without pandering to the current trend of vampire movies as “bodice-ripping romances.”

Sarandon is jealous that Farrell got to do “the smell thing” — Jerry sniffing the air, animal-like, for his victims. Sarandon says that, while very creepy, it accents the sexual nature of Farrell’s Jerry. In the original, Jerry was less sexual and more of an equal opportunity killer.

Director Craig Gillespie turned his Fright Night into a tale of two Jerrys by bringing Sarandon in for a cameo role. He says Sarandon’s willingness to be part of the update was a real endorsement of the project.

As for working with his Jerry counterpart, Farrell says, “It was cool.”

‘Spy Kids’ adds smell with ‘4-D’ Aroma-Scope

By David Germain Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Robert Rodriguez deliberately tried to make his latest Spy Kids adventure a bit of a stinker.

Rodriguez, who helped usher in the new age of 3-D movies with the franchise’s third installment in 2003, is billing Spy Kids: All the Time in the World as a 4-D flick, adding scent cards so audiences can follow along on the action with their noses.

Here’s how it works: Viewers are given scratch-and-sniff cards with circles numbered 1 to 8. When a number appears on screen, they rub the corresponding circle on their cards, which give off a whiff matching what the characters are smelling.

Rodriguez calls his gimmick “Aroma-Scope.” He tried it out at test screenings and found that children and parents had a good time with it.

“When it came time to do Spy Kids 4, I couldn’t just go back and do 3-D like everybody else is now.

I had to bring something extra,” Rodriguez said. “Just watching my own kids with interactive gaming, you ask them to watch a movie, it just feels so passive to them. I thought, this helps bridge the gap. It’s an interactive thing, almost like playing a game while you’re watching the movie.”

The idea dates back to John Waters’ 1981 suburban satire Polyester, released in “Odorama,” with viewers given similar scratch-and-sniff cards. The 2003 animated tale Rugrats Go Wild also used cards to add scent to the picture.

The new Spy Kids, opening today and playing in both 2-D and 3-D versions, uses its odors (offered in both formats) to complement the story as a retired operative (Jessica Alba) is called back to service to fight a villain who has speeded up time, threatening to bring about a quick end to the world.

Mason Cook is shown in a scene from ‘Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D.’ Filmmaker Robert Rodriguez is using ‘AromaScope,’ to add scents to the new ‘Spy Kids.’ Viewers are given scratch-and-sniff cards with circles numbered 1 to 8. When a number appears on screen, they rub the corresponding circle on their cards, which give off a whiff matching what the characters are smelling.

The smells from the scratchand-sniff cards are mostly pleasant. However, with a bit of raunchy humor, including gags about a spy baby’s diapers, viewers should expect at least one off odor.

“Originally, we didn’t have any really rancid smells, but kids wanted something really stinky in there,” Rodriguez said. “It really doesn’t smell that bad. No one’s going to get sick in the theater.”

Rodriguez’s Aroma-Scope fol-

Filmmakers began trying gimmicks to hang onto audiences as television eroded movie attendance in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Most were short-lived or one-time tricks, such as early tries at 3-D cinema or such odor-adding processes as Smell-O-Vision, in which scents were piped into theaters.

ors or high action.

And looking ahead, there’s been industry buzz about equipping theaters with advanced “3-D” audio systems that would create the effect of sound that seems as if it’s moving completely around a viewer.

For now, though, Rodriguez has no plans to venture beyond his 4-D scratch-and-sniff filmmaking and might consider doing it again on a movie down the road.

“Watching the kids do it is the best part. Just seeing them so glued to the screen as if they’ve been doing it all their lives,” Rodriguez said. “Plus it’s a souvenir they can take home.”

Netf lix gets kid-friendly as it raises U.S. prices

By Michael Liedtke Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Netflix Inc. is giving kids and their parents a new reason to embrace its Internet video subscription service as it raises prices to the dismay of many customers.

A “Just For Kids” tab has been added to subscribers’ accounts on Netflix’s website. Clicking on the feature will pull up a list of kid-friendly recommendations drawn from about 1,000 movies and TV shows in Netflix’s Internet video streaming library.

It won’t suggest titles that are only available as DVD rentals delivered through the mail. That’s an option that Netflix is trying to make less enticing to subscribers so it can save postage and spend more money expanding its selection of video streaming options.

As part of its de-emphasis on DVDs, Netflix last month announced that it will unbundle the unlimited video streaming option from its most popular plans with disc rentals.

Beginning Sept. 1, Netflix’s 24.6 million U.S. subscribers who want DVDs and unlimited streaming will have to buy the plans separately.

The children’s feature grew out of Netflix’s recognition that its video streaming service is making it easier for kids to watch movies on a variety of devices at almost any time and any place with a high-speed Internet connection. The video can be streamed through video game consoles, the iPad tablet computer and smartphones. Netflix makes it even easier by allowing several people from the same household to stream through the same account.

That convenience and affordable pricing has established Netflix has a major provider of children’s entertainment. The company says about half its subscribers have watched at least two movies or TV shows made for kids within the past 90 days.

Country star to perform at Center Stage in Rainbow City

By Brett Buckner Special to The Star

His rough Texas-worn voice brings to life the bourbon-soaked tales of heartbreak and loss, hard-livin’ and the redemptive power of love and has influenced everyone from Dwight Yoakam and Blake Shelton to the Drive-By Truckers. His life of hell raisin’ and self-destruction is the thing of legend, threatening to not only end his career but overshadow the brilliance of a country music superstar.

It’s been a long, hard road, but through it all, George Jones — like the timeless songs he’s created — has endured. And now, sober since 1998 following the car accident that nearly killed him (documented by the Drive-By Truckers track, “George Jones”), this country music star ain’t lookin’ to slow down any time soon.

The artist who once sang “I don’t need your rockin’ chair,” is proving just that, as he and The Jones Boys are pulling into Rainbow City’s Center

Stage at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 26.

This summer tour is in support of Jones’ latest release, A Collection of My Recollection, which features some of his greatest hits — “White Lightning,” “The Race Is On,” “Why Baby, Why” and what is considered by most to be the greatest country song ever written, “He Stopped Lovin’ Her Today.”

After some 60 years of touring, one thing keeps Jones on the road.

“The main motivation is my fans,” Jones said via e-mail.

“They are the most loyal fans in the world, and I appreciate them continuing to come to see me and support my music.”

And his audience is actually getting younger.

“I am amazed at the wide age range of people at my shows ... amazed and thrilled to look out and see kids my grandchildren’s age singing along and knowing every word to every song,” he said.

“It is a great feeling.”

When he was little, Jones’ daddy bought him a Gene

Autry guitar, and he learned to play chords by practicing in Sunday school. At age 11, he played his first concert on the sidewalk of Beaumont, Texas, where passing strangers gave him some $25. By age 24, he had been married twice, served in the Marines and was a veteran of the Texas honky-tonk circuit. On a recording session in 1955 for Starday Records, producer Pappy Dailey suggested he quit singing like his idols, Lefty Frizzell, Roy Acuff and Hank Williams, and try singing like George Jones. The result was “Why Baby, Why,” his first Top Five hit. That rich, warm voice eventually put 167 songs in the country music charts, including 14 No. 1 singles.

Nicknamed “Possum” — because two radio jocks, Ralph Emery and Tommy T. Cutrer, decided his nose from the side looked like a possum — Jones’s battles with drugs and alcohol nearly killed him and only added to the legend of the hard-drinkin’, fast-livin’ country music outlaw. Things got so of control he became known as “No-Show” Jones because he missed so many concerts. Of all the stories of Jones’ destructive ways, none is more famous than the time he rode the lawnmower to the liquor store, as Jones describes in his autobiography, I Lived to Tell It All. Once, when I had been drunk for several days, Shirley decided she would make it physically impossible for me to buy liquor. I lived about eight miles from Beaumont and the nearest liquor store.

She knew I wouldn’t walk that far to get booze, so she hid the keys to every car we owned and left. But she forgot about the lawn mower.

I can vaguely remember my anger at not being able to find keys to anything that moved and looking longingly out a window at a light that shone over our property.

There, gleaming in the glow, was that ten-horsepower rotary engine under a seat. A key glistening in the ignition.

I imagine the top speed for that old mower was five miles per hour.

It might have taken an hour and a half or more for me to get to the liquor store, but get there I did.

While they may be fun stories to tell, now that he is sober, Jones has no desire to revisit those wilder days.

“No doubt anyone who ever paid for a ticket to a George Jones show and I didn’t show want to see the return of ‘No-Show Jones,’ ” he said. “That was not a shining moment in my career. My life and my music is so much better in so many ways now that I am sober.”

Given the death of rock stars like Amy Winehouse and Michael Jackson, Jones understands the pain of addiction and knows how easily it can ruin lives, but it’s not a burden that the famous face alone.

“I don’t know that it is fame that breeds self-destruction,” he said. “I just think because of their fame, they are the ones that people talk about. Many, many people go down the path of self-destruction and no one can really know

what causes a person to do that.”

With a set list that promises to cram in as many fan favorites as time will allow, Jones is promising a memorable show.

“It will be the best show me and The Jones Boys can possibly perform with lots of my hits performed,” he said. “There are so many, I have to do a medley of several songs just to fit in as many as possible.”

Taking a walk in their shoes

Hulu/Associated Press

Billionaire Richard Branson is shown in a scene from the first episode of the Hulu series ‘A Day in the Life,’ which premiered Wednesday.

Filmmaker starts an original series on Hulu

By Jake Coyle Associated Press

To jump-start its original content business, Hulu has turned to documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, the industrious red head whose engaging excitability can turn things like a McDonald’s diet or hidden ads in movies into entertaining feature length documentaries.

On Wednesday, Hulu is premiering the first episode of Spurlock’s A Day in the Life, a sixepisode documentary series that follows a notable person around for 24 hours.

The debut 22-minute episode features British billionaire Richard Branson; subsequent subjects will include Black Eyed Peas front man will.i.am, Canadian stand-up comedian Russell Peters, indie musician Gregg Gillis (better known as Girl Talk) and ballet dancer

Misty Copeland.

It’s a cautious step into original content. Netflix, which many consider Hulu’s chief competitor in the business of streaming quality programming, made the far bolder move by successfully biding for House of Cards, a flashy remake of the British series starring Kevin Spacey and produced by David Fincher.

But Hulu’s more humble approach has its charm. Seeing life through another set of eyes is certainly a ready-made concept for the Internet, where behindthe-scenes videos populate with rabbit-like frequency.

A Day in the Life, which will run on both the free Hulu site and on its $8-a-month subscription plan Hulu Plus, is unlike many of Spurlock’s productions, in that he plays a minimal role in it. Spurlock (Pom Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, Super Size Me) isn’t on

screen, and the series instead takes a fly-on-the-wall approach to documenting relatively typical days for its subjects.

In his day, Branson does an exceptional amount of jet-setting while promoting a new route for Virgin Airlines, one of the many companies under Branson’s Virgin umbrella. He’s a willing salesman, donning a boxing robe and gloves for a press event.

“If I have to make a fool of myself and put my boxing gloves on, I will do so,” he says, grinning.

In one day, he shakes more hands than most politicians do in a week. His go-to jokes usually involve making puns on his company’s name.

There’s nothing particularly distinct about A Day in the Life.

It’s an old idea of Spurlock’s that he pitched earlier, but was turned down. One could easily

imagine it appearing on at least a dozen different cable networks, alongside similar reality programming.

What comes across in the Branson episode and in clips previewed from the rest of the series is that these are driven people, working hard.

Most of the hours in their days are unglamorous and sleepdeprived. That makes A Day in the Life a small but winning gambit.

Whereas Netflix purchased a distribution window to House of Cards, Hulu is producing A Day in the Life.

Hulu has distributed original content before, such as the 2010 reality series If I Can Dream, but Hulu describes A Day in the Life as part of a “new initiative designed to support creatively and financially the work of independent storytellers.” Earlier this summer, Hulu debuted

three British series new to American viewers.

It’s a subtle but important shift for Hulu, which since its launch in 2008, has primarily shown reruns of TV programs provided by ABC, Fox and NBC, the broadcasters owned by Hulu’s media company parents: The Walt Disney Co., News Corp. and Comcast Corp.

Hulu’s future is murky. Its owners, which also include Providence Equity Partners, have had discussions with companies including Apple Inc., Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc. about selling Hulu.

This new chapter of original programming sets Hulu on a course of semi-independence, where it can produce shows outside of its parent companies’ content. A Day in the Life may be slight, but it hints at a bright new day for Hulu — provided its life isn’t cut short.

Pop culture Q&A

Lizabeth Scott got her start on stage and starred in films

By Rich Heldenfels Akron Beacon Journal

Q: I enjoy watching movies from the 1940s and 1950s on TCM. My favorite actress is Lizabeth Scott. What can you tell us about her?

A: Born Emma Matzo in 1922 in Scranton, Pa., Scott was a sultry, deepvoiced star of numerous films noir, although — as she herself pointed out — she also worked with Elvis Presley and Jerry Lewis. Before the movies, she was a stage actress (understudying Tallulah Bankhead, to whom she was sometimes compared) and a model. Producer Hal Wallis put her in movies where, as The Film Encyclopedia says, she was promoted as similar to Lauren Bacall and Veronica Lake.

She made a strong impression; a 1948 Associated Press writer said, “She charms you and knocks you out at the same time.”

Notable films include The Strange Love of Martha Ivers, Dead Reckoning and Dark City.

She did not marry — although there were rumors of a relationship with Wallis — and speculation arose that

she preferred women. The scandal-seeking (and gayobsessed) Confidential magazine in 1955 implied Scott was one of Hollywood’s “baritone babes.”

Scott sued the magazine for $2.5 million. Writer Samuel Bernstein says Scott’s suit was dropped “on the technicality that since the magazine was based in New York she couldn’t bring suit in California.” But Scott did not refile in New York.

The Turner Classic Movies site says publicity about the suit “was devastating to Scott’s career,” although it may simply have killed her interest in a high-profile Hollywood life.

In any case, after the Presley movie Loving You in 1957, she made a few TV appearances but did not work on the big screen until the 1972 movie Pulp.

Nor has she acted onscreen since. She reportedly lent her voice to cat-food commercials, but for the most part has stayed out of the public eye. Which is too bad, considering what a good and charismatic actress she was.

Q: What city is the show Flashpoint supposed to depict?

Harris-McKay Realty 123 So. Quintard Avenue • Anniston, AL 36201 www.harrismckay.com Each Office Is Independently Owned

FX/Associated Press

Charlie Hunnam is shown in a scene from ‘Sons of Anarchy,’ set to start its fourth season on Sept. 6.

A: The city is never specified on the show.

But there’s a widespread assumption that it is Toronto since the series is made in Canada and the police unit is based on one in Toronto.

Many shows like to tie themselves to specific cities; think of the way most Law & Order shows have been in New York City, Body of Proof’s Philadelphia, Grey’s Anatomy’s Seattle, The Chicago Code and, of course, Hot in Cleveland. But others like to have the flexibility of a fantasy land, like Desperate Housewives’ Fairview.

Q: Every season I purchase the DVD for the previous season of Sons of Anarchy. For some reason the third season has not been made available yet.

Please tell me why and/or

when. Also, please tell me their plans for future seasons.

A: The third season will be on DVD and Blu-ray on Aug. 30. The fourth season begins Sept. 6 on FX. Q: I’ve noticed that on the walls of the courtrooms in the Law & Order series that they always have the phrase “In God We Trust.” With the courts continuously ordering the removal of such phrases off the walls of courthouses, is producer Dick Wolf making a statement?

A: He’s just reflecting the real world in which his lawyers and police officers function. A report by New York radio station WNYC not long ago referred to “the phrase ‘In God We Trust’ embossed above the judge’s chair in Manhattan Criminal Court.
