For sportswriters, Knievel was a big dilemma. Many agreed with Los Angeles Times columnist Jim Murray when he wrote that “Knievel was selling … Death!

Craziness! Sick fun!”

But the American public could not get enough of what Knievel was selling. The daredevil reflected the values of his society at large. Reason enough to study and understand the “man of the moment,” as Montville calls him. He concludes: “Perfect. Evel Knievel wasn’t selling success!

He was selling failure! Perfect. That was what America loved, the danger of it all.”

Bob Knievel, of course, was perfectly aware of what he was doing and the controversy his act stirred up, and he wanted it that way. Just prior to his attempt to jump the Snake River Canyon, he told a crowd of supporters, “I don’t know if I’m an athlete, a daredevil, a hoax, or just a nut … But when I make that jump, I’ll be competing against the toughest opponent of all — and that’s death.”

In Montville’s final analysis, he concludes that Knievel “was a red-whiteand-blue American capitalist hero surrounded by noise and gasoline fumes, strength and power. He was not counter to the culture, he was the culture, front and center.”

Montville does not, or cannot, answer whether Evel Knievel was a true athlete and what he did was a real sport, or whether he was only a showman performing a very dangerous and thrilling carnival act. Reason enough to read Montville’s book and decide for yourself.

Chesney, McGraw team up for stadium tour

By Chris Talbott Associated Press

Special to The Star

Singer Julie Gribble to perform two shows at Peerless Saloon Brett Buckner Special to The Star

Julie Gribble was born to be on stage.

Since she was 8 years old, the Atlanta native wanted to be an actress, eventually moving to Los Angeles to pursue those hard-won dreams and landing roles in a variety movies and TV shows.

But with all the hard work and stress of chasing down auditions, Gribble was often left feeling empty and uninspired.

It was time for a break.

“It just wasn’t feeding my soul,” said Gribble, who will be performing at the Peerless Saloon in Anniston Nov. 23 and 24. “I figured there was no better time to give it a try. I went into it with the attitude of ‘If I suck, then I suck but at least I tried.’”

Gribble did more than try. She started going to open mic nights at clubs and bars around L.A., writing down guitar chords on beer napkins and practicing on the guitar she’d had since she was 16 years old. With her passion rekindled,

Gribble learned to play the guitar that had gone mostly unused for years.

“I was terrible at first,” she said with a laugh. “But I’ve always been really selfmotivated. I just fell in love with music, so I sat down with that guitar for two hours every day … it hurt, but was still a great feeling.”

During one open mic performance, Gribble caught the attention of Dan Lavery, bass player for the rock group Tonic, who started helping her with both her playing and songwriting. A poet since her early teens, Gribble learned to take her personal stories and phrasing and turn them into something more universal.

These tutorials, plus a natural tenacity to succeed, eventually paid off in 2003 when she released her first CD (under the name Jules) Back Inside of Me. Gribble has since released three additional CDs — her latest being Letting Go — toured relentlessly across the United States and Canada, performed on The Late Late Show with Craig Fergu-

son and the Tyra Banks Show. Her songs have been featured on the Lifetime movie Dive at Clauson’s Pier, popular Nickelodeon shows Zoey 101, Drake and Josh and Smallville.

“I’ve worked my ass off to make all this happen,” Gribble said. “I think the music was always inside of me, I just never had the guts to go for it.”

With a sound that blends the crooning of Natalie Merchant with the country twang and tenderness of Emmylou Harris, Gribble has carved a unique niche for herself. Given that she’s still relatively new to the music scene, Gribble’s performances are all the more sincere and in the moment. Plus, she’s the first to admit that she’s still learning.

“That’s the beauty of songwriting,” she said. “You’re constantly reinventing yourself and rediscovering a new voice. And I think that’s what’s different about me. I don’t know what the hell I’m doing. I’m just going with my gut.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Oh, the stories Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney could tell you from their early days together in Music City. And they’re about to make more, joining forces on an ambitious stadiums-only tour next summer.

Chesney and McGraw got to know each other living in the same apartment complex 20 years ago, cemented their friendship opening for George Strait, and joined forces in 2001 when McGraw invited Chesney on the road at a pivotal moment in his career. They’re teaming again from the pinnacle of country music.

“It’s two artists who’ve known each other for 20 years, who’ve been friends for 20 years ... at the top of our game to be able to go out and do this together,” McGraw said. “To get two artists to agree on anything is pretty spectacular. But to agree to go out together, do a tour together and just have a great time together and play music together is a pretty unique and remarkable thing. And I think that can only happen with guys who are as good of friends as we are.”

The tour, dubbed the Brothers of the Sun Tour, will kick off June 2 in Tampa, Fla., and wrap Aug. 25 in Foxboro, Mass. Along the way there will be stops in many of the nation’s largest cities, including East Rutherford, N.J., where Chesney set a record this summer for paid attendance to a live country show in the New York City area.

“It seemed time,” Chesney said. “There was no other reason than that. It just seemed like it was time for us to play at home again. It’s a really ironic place for us to play because we played in the shadows of that place for so long, right downtown in all these bars ... for tips. Now all we have to do is go across the river.”

It’s the kind of moment both daydreamed about while living on the outskirts of Nashville. They played hot dog stands and dive bars, places like The Turf and Skull’s Rainbow Room.

They have so many stories, though few they’re willing to tell publicly.

“We’ve got our own demons, we’ve got our own fun, we’ve got a lot of friendship going into next summer,” Chesney said.

“There is one story I can tell about Tim. ...

I remember vividly a girl knocking out a windshield of his car with a baseball bat. I remember that.”

Apple launches iTunes Match a couple weeks late

Country to the core

CUPERTINO, Calif. — Apple has turned on its iTunes Match service — although it’s two weeks late.

The $25-a-year subscription promises to match every song on a person’s computer and store the tunes in an online account on distant servers known as the “cloud.”

The songs can then be downloaded or streamed to other Apple devices without needing to physically connect them to the computer.

Songs that are not recognized can be uploaded automatically. The service promises to function with multiple computers used by the same person by eliminating duplicates.

Apple Inc. declined to comment on the delay.

Earlier it had said iTunes Match would be available by the end of October.

An earlier message on iTunes saying new accounts were not being accepted was posted in error and has since been removed.

Special to The Star

Hokes Bluff native to perform at Brother’s

By Brett Buckner Special to The Star

Drake White is a self-professed “old soul;” a 27-year-old country music singer/songwriter who draws inspiration from his hometown roots growing up in Hokes Bluff. White will be playing something of a homecoming show with a pair of performances at Brother’s in Jacksonville — first tonight and again on Dec. 16.

“I write what I know,” White said.

“It’s no great mystery. I’m a smalltown guy, writing about small-town life.”

Such lyrical sincerity brought White to the attention of Universal Records. On the first single, “50 Years Too Late,” off his self-titled debut album, White sings of the things that make life worth living, “spring and dogs and rusty screen doors/candlelight on creaky wood floors/a good sunrise and fireflies.”

But it’s in concert that White’s songs take on a life of their own as he often freestyles lyrics and re-writes songs on the fly, all the while commanding the stage with a gritty,

Rap kings: Jay-Z and Kanye West on The Throne

By Glenn Gamboa Newsday

NEW YORK — Kings aren’t known for their cooperation.

They’re known for their battles.

It’s a phenomenon as old as the ages, extending from military campaigns to big business and even the music industry. But have things really changed that drastically? Trying to determine that is why everyone is watching The Throne.

Jay-Z and Kanye West, two of hip-hop’s reigning monarchs, have fostered a new spirit of collaboration with their new group The Throne and a massive, extravagant tour that launched last month.

It goes well beyond the teamwork seen in joint but mostly separate packages like Billy Joel and Elton John’s “Face to Face” tours or the annual summer outings for Chicago and Earth, Wind and Fire. Jay-Z and West’s joining forces as equals would be like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones performing together in the same band in the ’60s or Prince and Michael Jackson teaming up in the ’80s. In other words, seemingly impossible — yet, here they are.

Jay-Z has had more No. 1 albums than any other solo artist in history, outpacing both Jackson and Elvis Presley. West has been the most critically acclaimed rapper of the decade, as well as the most controversial, taking on everything from President George W. Bush’s handling of Hurricane Katrina to Taylor Swift’s MTV Video Music Awards win for best female video.

Their collaboration is even more remarkable because it comes in hip-hop, an art form that has battling built into it and a business that has used beefing between rappers as a marketing strategy. However, their friendship and mutual respect has apparently made this unlikely union possible.

Matt Sayles/Associated Press

Jay-Z, left, and Kanye West perform at the MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 28, 2011, in Los Angeles.

“He’s really like a brother to me,” Jay-Z says in a documentary on the making of The Throne’s debut album Watch The Throne (Roc-a-Fella), which hit No. 1 in August and set the record for most-downloaded album on iTunes in one week. “I’ve seen him from the beginning to where he is now. ... To see how he’s grown as a producer and an artist, for me on another level, is enjoyable. I’m watching a guy I pretty much minted become his own guy with his own opinion.

It’s fantastic.”

West is equally deferential.

“Sitting in here in the studio two hours out of London, it’s really setting in on me that I’m actually

doing a rap album with Jay-Z,” he wrote last year on Twitter, the main way he communicates with his audience now that he has essentially stopped doing interviews. “I was in the audience at Hard Knock Life Tour!!!!!!!”

The Watch the Throne album did not disappoint, proving itself as a true collaboration, with both

Jay and ‘Ye pushing each other to do better. Their talks during the recording of the album about striving to do their best, the way Jackson did during the recording sessions for Thriller, seemed to pay off.

The tour, according to early accounts, is just as ambitious.

It has an impressive 41-song

set list, a massive stage set that includes giant video cubes and reportedly requires 27 trucks to haul around, and a whole lot of interplay between Jay-Z and West — both on The Throne songs and on their own songs — that matches their intricate rhyme schemes on their album.

“When they blended their formidable talents, as on Otis ... Jay-Z and West were a rather dynamic duo,” wrote Melissa Ruggieri in the Atlanta JournalConstitution. “Their enjoyment sharing the stage was obvious as they led the crowd through the refrain of ‘Run This Town’ and chanted over the heavy, chestrattling bass in ‘Monster’ as more video of wild animals played behind them.”

Enjoyment goes a long way in explaining how this unusual partnership has stuck together, even after there were rumors swirling about behind-thescenes arguments and a delay in the tour.

Jay-Z has acknowledged the arguments, but denied any problems. “Yes, we get on each other’s nerves,” he said in a radio interview this summer. “We push each other to be greater.

Of course, there are times when we’re in the studio and we’re yelling.”

It’s the kind of disagreement that would be expected when two superstars used to getting their way run into each other.

However, it seems that Jay and ‘Ye have pushed beyond that.

So does the success of The Throne signal a drop in artistic competition and the start of widespread superstar collaboration in the name of greater music? Or is this project simply a savvy business proposition, a way for two stars to guarantee a successful outcome in increasingly unsuccessful times?

We’ll have to keep watching The Throne to see how it turns out.

David Nail hits it on the head on new CD

By Michael Mccall For The Associated Press

David Nail, The Sound Of A Million Dreams (MCA Nashville) David Nail owns a soulful voice custom-made for heart-tugging narratives, which is what he continues to concentrate on for his second album, The Sound Of A Million Dreams.

The album’s first hit, “Let It Rain,” mines the same reflective melodrama found in his previous country radio favorites “Red Light” and “Turning Home.” Most of The Sound Of A Million Dreams stays in that comfort zone, portraying Nail as a thoughtful guy who sings about mature relationships, whether it’s hoping to reveal his feelings to someone he just met (“Catch You While I Can”) or discovering he hasn’t revealed enough to someone who has been in his life for years (“I Thought You Knew”).

Working with producers Frank Liddell, Chuck Ainley and Glenn Worf — the same team behind Miranda Lambert’s Four The Record — Nail leans on arrangements resembling the blend of pianos and orchestral strings that works so well for Lady Antebellum.

In the personal testimony of the ballad “Catherine” and the tender break-up song “That’s How I’ll Remember You,” Nail brings out emotions with subtle expressiveness. At a time when country music overflows with macho bluster and vocal overkill, Nail is a restrained romantic — and that may be enough to set him apart.

CHECK OUT THIS TRACK: Nail lets loose only once on his new album, and that’s on the bluesy roadhouse rocker “Grandpa’s Farm.” Reminiscent of classic Gulf Coast funk by Delbert McClinton or Little Feat, the song proves Nail sounds great on R&B-inflected tunes, a trait he ought to show more often.

Ellington, he composes for individual members of his band. For example the funky “Brother Mister” is a showcase for alto saxophonist Steve Wilson. His smooth arrangement of the bluesy 1950s tune “Broadway” sounds like it could have belonged to the Count Basie Orchestra’s repertoire. And the Basie links are also evident in McBride’s arrangement of the standard “The More I See You,” evoking the Basie-Sinatra collaborations, with brassy bursts punctuating vocals

With these two CDs, McBride ventures into new territory, cementing his reputation as a bassist for all seasons.

the character in the original) have a tyke of their own, whose identity issues seem too pat a repetition of those his dad once faced.

Young Erik (adorably voiced

by Ava Acres) hasn’t got rhythm, you see, an embarrassment for the son of the local lord of the dance. Running away with a couple of friends as they chase after Mumble’s buddy Ramon (Williams) on the return to his own penguin colony, Erik meets the amazing “flying penguin” Sven (Hank Azaria), whose cando attitude makes him the idol of the youngster, to Mumble’s detriment.

Miller again shovels on an eco message as a colossal iceberg cast adrift by climate change endangers the entire colony of emperor penguins. Once the crisis arrives,

the action bogs down a bit, the movie lingering a long while on its penguins-on-the-precipice menace without a whole lot happening.

But with its interspecies collaboration, as birds, elephant seals and even the little krill contribute to a happy ending, the movie is a stirring, if kind of sappy, endorsement for the good that can result when everyone rows together.

The best addition of Happy Feet Two are Pitt’s Will the Krill and Damon’s Bill the Krill, who are so engaging they deserve their own buddy-comedy spinoff.

When Will decides to swim out on his own to see the world beyond the teeming krill swarm, skittish Bill tags along. They discover to their horror that krill are just munchies for other aquatic life, sending Will on a comic quest to move up the food chain and become a predator himself.

The krill interludes are delightful, and the dark, quiet depths through which they swim make a lovely contrast to the bright world of the penguins above.

The camaraderie of Pitt and Damon, co-stars in the Ocean’s

Eleven movies, comes through loudly in their goofy banter, making them highlights of an already stellar voice cast.

Williams again does double duty in two breathlessly manic roles, voicing both Ramon and Lovelace, the colorful penguin who becomes a key disciple of Sven. Azaria, one of the vocal masters behind The Simpsons, extends his reputation as one of Hollywood’s top voice stars, giving Sven a gurgling Scandinavian accent that’s an absolute hoot.

Pink belts out pop songs old and new, co-writing one number, too. Williams, Azaria, co-star Common and even Pitt and Damon get in on the singing, the tunes woven cleverly into the themes and action.

You have to applaud a group of filmmakers that can take millions of disparate creatures — plus songs as different as Queen and David Bowie’s “Under Pressure” and the theme from Rawhide — and unite them in a rousing, harmonic climax where for one brief Hollywood moment, predators and prey have a common cause.

Oxford GameStop mastering the art of the midnight release For many lined up at the GameStop at the Oxford Exchange on Nov. 10, the wait for Bethesda’s highly anticipated game “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim” had been excruciatingly longer than the six hours some spent waiting in line to buy Bobby the game Bozeman at midnight.

Pop That Cultured wait was officially kicked off in December 2010 when Todd Howard, Skyrim’s director and the general face of Bethesda, announced Skyrim along with showing a teaser for the game.

However, unofficially, the wait had begun as early as March 2006 when the fourth game in the series, “The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion” was released. “Oblivion,” which won many Game of the Year awards in 2006, was seen as both a step forward and a step back for “The Elder Scrolls” series, and speculation had been running rampant as to both the setting and style of the next installment.

Anticipation was heightened even more after the release of the critically acclaimed “Fallout 3,” one of the few non-“Elder Scrolls” games developed by Bethesda since the release of “The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.”

And with just over an hour left to wait, the “Elder Scrolls” and Bethesda faithful in Calhoun County had crammed into GameStop.

But then again, this was already the second time that week the store had been opened for a midnight release.

“We’ve always done the midnight releases on huge

titles,” said Chad Blakemore, the store manager at the GameStop in Oxford. “I can remember back as far as when ‘Halo 2’ released. I was working at the (GameStop) in the Quintard Mall.

It was a huge event, much larger than this, but it was ‘Halo 2.’ We’ve been doing midnight releases ever since, but this year has had more midnight releases than any year I’ve ever seen.”

Just a few days prior, Blakemore had the store’s doors open again as the rest of the shopping center was quiet and all but abandoned. That time it was for another highly anticipated game, “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.”

“Most titles we get around 20-30 people. This is actually probably not going to be anywhere near what we’re going to have,” Blakemore said while motioning toward the already cramped GameStop store. “Most people will show up around 11:30 to 12. We’ll have a few stragglers afterwards.

For ‘Modern Warfare 3,’ we actually had over 200 people.

“If this gets much larger, I’m going to have to ask people to step outside.

‘Modern Warfare 3’s’ was actually lined up to the end of the building and wrapped around the building.”

There is more to do than just wait. Many fans discussed strategies and play styles they planned on using for the game’s wide-open world where you are literally set free to do what you will.

There is a main quest line in Bethesda’s games, but following it is strictly optional, and it’s the little quests and various competing joinable factions that really breathe life into the huge worlds of “Fallout’s” Wasteland and “The Elder Scrolls’” Tamriel.

Other fans said they had purposefully avoided any news about the game other than the trailer and general

Blakemore had even set up a trivia game to keep patrons entertained while they waited on the clock to strike midnight. The first correct answer to each “Elder Scrolls”-based question was rewarded with a Skyrim sticker. “‘Halo 2’ was just the start,” said Blakemore. “‘Black Ops,’ ‘Modern Warfare 2,’ ‘Halo 3,’ ‘Gears of War 3.’ I mean massive, massive events. I mean, for ‘Modern Warfare 3,’ we had laser tag out in the parking lot.

“Me and the assistant manager even faced off against the guys who were running the laser tag and ended up beating them. We had five TVs set up in here where people could play the multiplayer before the game actually released.”

the opportunity to bring a character — “particularly one like George Bailey, that most people know from the movie” — and his raw reactions to the stage.

“When you’re taking a real human being ... taking real emotions and trying to put them on stage where the audience can get it is a real challenge,” Garlick said. “In this role, you have to be real.”

Garlick’s hope is that theater-goers come into the show “with an open heart” and are able to draw from George Bailey’s experiences and apply them to their own lives.

“That’s a good message for anybody who’s living a life that they may have lots of regrets.”

“We are where we’re supposed to be, whether we like it or not, and sometimes it takes a big event — like George Bailey losing $8,000 dollars and having to suffer through that — to realize that ‘You know what? I am exactly where I’m supposed to be, doing what I’m supposed to be doing, and, shucks, it is a wonderful life.’”

NBC’s prime-time woes may be spreading

By David Bauder Associated Press

NEW YORK — Despite the slow, seemingly bottomless decline of NBC’s prime-time lineup over the past decade, the network’s other programming remained unaffected. Now there are signs that that is changing.

NBC’s Today show, Tonight show, Nightly News and Meet the Press have long led their time slots on broadcast television.

Each is seeing rivals chip away at that supremacy and although different factors are at play, there are worries that prime-time problems also play a role.

“Performing this poorly in prime time year after year does have an impact on other (parts of the day),” said Brad Adgate, an analyst for Horizon Media.

NBC is averaging 6.9 million viewers in prime time this season, fourth behind CBS, Fox and ABC — nearly 2 million behind third-place ABC, the Nielsen Co. said. That’s down 32 percent from NBC’s average five years ago and a whopping 55 percent off the 15.4 million people who watched NBC on a typical evening during the must-see TV era in 1996-97.

To some degree, there is an out-of-sight, out-of-mind factor at play. If you’re not watching an NBC prime-time show, that means fewer opportunities to see a promo for the Jay Leno line-up that night, or who might talk to Matt Lauer the next morning. And because you haven’t seen the ads for upcoming shows, you’re less likely to tune in.

The Today show is still the industry leader, but its morning competition with ABC’s Good Morning America is significantly tighter than it was last year.

Through six weeks of this season, Today has averaged 5.23 million viewers, Nielsen said. That’s actually up slightly from last season, an achievement since it indicates that the replacement of Meredith Vieira with Ann Curry as co-host was pulled off without a hiccup.

Yet Good Morning America, with 4.78 million viewers, has

NBC/Associated Press

Co-host Ann Curry, left, talks with actor Robert Pattinson about his new film ‘Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1,’ on the ‘Today’ show, Nov. 10, 2011, in New York. The morning talk show has long been the leader in ratings, but other networks’ shows are starting to catch up. gained more than a half million viewers this season, closing the gap with Today, going from 22 percent to 9 percent. Today has kept its loyal fans but new people are going to ABC. GMA sees the numbers as evidence that the addition of Josh Elliott and Lara Spencer to the team of Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos has clicked.

“You’re going to get all the news and information you need and have a royally grand time,” said James Goldston, Good Morning America executive producer.

The trend raises the possibility that ABC can seriously threaten NBC’s vaunted winning streak, which would be huge psychologically and financially for NBC. Today hasn’t lost a single week in the ratings since December 1995, a stretch of 828 weeks.

The last time ABC pulled close — in one week of May 2005 Today won by only 43,000 viewers — it resulted in a management

turnover that put current Today executive producer Jim Bell in his job and then NBC pulled away again. Today is NBC’s most profitable program, and doesn’t want to show any sense of vulnerability. NBC notes that last season Today had its biggest advantage over ABC in seven years in the 25to-54-year-old demographic on which it bases ad sales.

A positive impact of prime time for ABC: Good Morning America does particularly well on mornings that it features interviews with ousted Dancing With the Stars contenders.

Executives at NBC News don’t want to point fingers at colleagues in charge of the prime-time lineup, where viewership is down 11 percent just from last season.

Still, the situation forces them to look for different ways to get the word out about their material with fewer viewers available to see the evening promotions.

That lack of visibility may have

hurt Brian Williams’ new Rock Center newsmagazine, which premiered last week before 4.1 million viewers, or less than a third of what 60 Minutes gets for a typical telecast.

“Everybody is pulling for prime time to improve,” said David Corvo, senior executive producer at NBC News. “These are men and women that we know and they put an awful lot of work into it.”

Williams’ Nightly News remains the clear ratings leader in the evening news category.

Although ABC’s World News pulled closer earlier this fall, NBC has stretched out its lead in recent weeks. While still far behind in third place, the CBS Evening News has become more competitive since Scott Pelley took over as anchor.

NBC’s Meet the Press was long the dominant player in the Sunday morning political chat shows, but those days have changed.

Much of that was due to the death of longtime host Tim Russert in June 2008.

The real growth on Sunday morning is on CBS, where Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer has significantly improved its standing against Meet the Press and new anchor David Gregory and Christiane Amanpour of ABC’s This Week.

So far this season Meet the Press holds a narrow lead among all viewers, but there’s been a big turnaround among 25-to-54year-olds. Schieffer is now ahead in that category, while Gregory’s broadcast has dropped 17 percent over the past year, according to Nielsen.

Jay Leno was the king of latenight TV for more than a decade, but that’s not the case anymore.

Leno has never really recovered from the failed experiment to put him in prime time.

ABC’s Nightline leads the latenight ratings now, and this season has increased its small advantage over Leno’s Tonight show and CBS’s Late Show with David Letterman. The Tonight show is essentially flat, while Letterman is losing viewers.

Despite this trend, Letterman has taken a slight lead over Leno among the demographically prized 18-to-49-year-old viewers. That means Leno’s audience, with a median age of 57, is getting older and less valuable in the eyes of the TV industry.

For NBC, these non-primetime programs have essentially defied television gravity by staying strong as the rest of the network crumbled around them.

New corporate owner Comcast Corp. seems to realize that prime time is where most of NBC’s energy should be centered.
