Wednesday Morning News Roundup
- If your family is anything like mine, you’ll be watching the Dallas Cowboys tomorrow after you eat your Thanksgiving meal. If so, you’ll see Carrie Underwood kicking off the halftime show for the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Christmas fundraising campaign. This will be the tenth consecutive year that the fundraiser is held.
- After being on the shelves for only one week, George Strait’s Fresh Cut Christmas has been certified platinum, selling over one million copies. What strikes me as impressive about this whole thing is that the CD is only sold in Hallmark Gold Crown stores.
- Brad Paisley is a busy man, but not too busy to stay on top of the current movies. After preforming three sold out shows he wanted to see Borat in the theater. One particular theater kept a screen open late just for Paisley, so he invited everyone he was touring with to come see the movie with him, which included six tours buses.
- Jason Boland and the Stragglers are offering a reward up to $1000 for any information that leads to the recovery of their stolen equipment. They have also reported that the State of Texas has officially issued a warrant for the arrest of Boyd Newman Matthews in regards to the theft of their trailer. Keep your eyes peeled people.
- On the 27th Ray Benson and the Austin mayor will unveil GuitarTown, a public arts projects featuring ten-foot tall Gibson Guitar sculptures and Showcase guitars. The project will benefit four designated Austin based charities.
