Music Trivia

     During the early 1980s, Waylon Jennings claimed to have spent $1,500 daily to satisfy his cocaine addiction, draining his personal finances and leaving him bankrupt with debt of up to $2.5 million.

   Kris Kristofferson had a job sweeping floors at the Columbia Studios in Nashville. While there he met Johnny Cash, who initially accepted some songs of Kristofferson's, but never did use them.

     When John Denver was announced as the 1975 CMA Entertainer of the Year, a drunk Charlie Rich set fire to the piece of paper naming his fellow singer the winner. The incident was part of an on-going feud between the two singers.

Weekly Horoscope: For Jan. 18, 2015 by Georgia Nicols
This is for the week of Jan. 18th thru Jan. 24th
All Signs; Since 2012, unpredictable Uranus and deadly Pluto have locked heads six times, triggering power grabs, violence and revolutions. The seventh (and final) clash will be in March this year. The energy of these planets uses surprise and violence to trigger revolution and reforms. This week, however, we deal with minor changes. (Whew.) The Sun enters Aquarius on Tuesday, the same day as the New Moon. And the following day, Wednesday, Mercury goes retrograde until February 11. This poses an interesting challenge because Aquarius initiates modern, futuristic energy; whereas Mercury retrograde wants to stall everything to return to the past. Who will win? Mercury retrograde will trump the Sun. Friends from the past will be back in the picture; and hopefully, they owe you money.
