I Want to Live You found out about me and you're feeling scared You're thinking I'm a big mistake The man upstairs says be prepared Says I may not see the light of day Well, I didn't ask to be here But now that I am Chorus: Mama I want to live Mama I want to breathe Just give me the chance To be all I can be Mama I want to grow Mama I want to see And I want you to know I can feel your heart beat Just give me a chance I've got so much to...

Can you sway the electorate with a song? In campaign 2004, a lot of people seem to be trying. On Tuesday, John Mellencamp and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds will at the Riverside Theatre as part of the pro-John Kerry "Vote for Change" drive that includes such enlistees as Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, the Dixie Chicks, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Keb' Mo' and R.E.M. On the other side, President Bush has garnered support from figures in country, Christian and pop music, including Brooks & Dunn, Michael W. Smith, Travis Tritt, Jessica Simpson, Sara Evans and, somewhat surrealistically, Kid Rock. Yet even if...

Two Nashville songwriters have sold a few thousand albums titled "For My Country" anchored by the song "Hey Hollywood," which received 15,000 downloads in its first 72 hours of posting on the conservative activist Web site, www.rightmarch.com. Aaron Sain and Frank Highland are best friends, local songwriters and political conservatives who've become the Music Row voice of the Republican Party. "We like to call it country music with politically based lyrics and a modern flare," Sain says. What started as a political conversation between two friends more than a year ago has blossomed into a mini-music genre that folks in...

The following is a picture of the cover of the Nashville City Paper. Notice the lead story and unfortunate picture placement next to it.

There is a new force in the music industry, a dynamic duo whose passion is writing and music; they are both from Florence and their time is now. Aaron Sain and Frank Highland are the Right Brothers and their first CD , “For My Country” has just been released for public consumption. It is more than appropriate that these two writer/musicians call the Renaissance City home considering our city’s richly diverse musical heritage. Aaron moved to Florence with his family in the fifth grade and remained here until he began college at Freed Hardeman University. Aaron still calls Florence...

CRI PERSPECTIVE CP0103 EVIDENCE FOR CREATION? The idea that God created the world and life is often thought to have been disproved by evolutionary theory. Is there any scientific evidence for creation? The truth is that the scientific evidence overwhelmingly supports creation. Let me attempt to point out just some of this evidence here. First, the scientific community is now almost unanimous in affirming that the universe had a beginning. This is usually referred to in scientific terms as “The Big Bang Theory.” Of course, this implies that someone or something brought the universe into existence. Secondly, the universe...

From Andy Rooney: Most of the reporting from Iraq is about death and destruction. We don't learn much about what our soldiers in Iraq are thinking or doing. There's no Ernie Pyle to tell us, and, if there were, the military would make it difficult or impossible for him to let us know. It would be interesting to have a reporter ask a group of our soldiers in Iraq to answer five questions and see the results: 1. Do you think your country did the right thing sending you into Iraq? 2. Are you doing what America set out to...

But, first, Mel Gibson keeps breaking box office records and Hollywood is not happy about it. It‘s time for tonight‘s “Real Deal.” You know, Hollywood insiders are growing more enraged every day at the success Mel Gibson‘s movie “The Passion” is enjoying at the box office. Most troubling to the barons of Beverly Hills is the fact they can‘t do anything about it. You know, America has chosen sides. And the winner is clearly Mel Gibson in a rout. Academy Award-winning actor Jon Voight entered SCARBOROUGH COUNTRY and blasted the movie, saying it was a dangerous work that breeds hatred...

The war in Iraq and our former top U.S. weapons inspector in Iraq, David Kay, have been hot topics in the news for months now. There have been opinions regarding the U.S. participation in the war, and questions on whether or not we had the right to be there. We have grieved with our neighbors over their fallen loved ones. We have shared the joy of the Iraqi-American community with the fall of Saddam Hussein, and shared their despair and grief over the deaths of the friends and relatives they left behind. Throughout everything, I think I can say that...

SPARTANBURG, SC (Talon News) -- A member of the conservative group RightMarch.com has recorded a new country song responding to the leftist attacks against President George W. Bush and America coming from country music artists such as the Dixie Chicks and Willie Nelson as well as liberal Hollywood actors. "Country music fans -- like so many of us -- are proud Americans, and don't take kindly to people taking unfair potshots at our Commander-In-Chief when our country is at war," RightMarch.com said in an e-mail to supporters on Monday. "That goes for anyone, from country 'stars' to Hollywood 'stars' --...

In this edition of Frontpage Interview, we have the privilege of being joined by Dr. Laurie Mylroie, one of the foremost American scholars on Iraq and Saddam Hussein. In her book Study of Revenge: Saddam Hussein´s Unfinished War against America, Dr. Mylroie provided substantial evidence implicating Saddam's involvement in four terrorist attacks: the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing; the 1995 bombing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the 1996 attack on the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, and the 1998 bombings of two African embassies. The author of the new book, Bush vs. the Beltway: How the CIA and the State Department...

LONDON (Reuters) - Pop star Elton John (news) is selling off the contents of his London home as he goes minimalist after a lifetime of flamboyant extravagance, auctioning everything from Elizabethan paintings to Art Deco beds. The sale next week is expected to raise more than $1.3 million, with prices ranging from $66 to $66,000 for items of furniture, paintings, baubles and even a pair of stone poodles. "We are selling the entire contents of his London home. He wanted a complete change," Alexandra Reece of auction house Sotheby's, told reporters Wednesday. But in contrast to the 1988 sale of...

Mr. McBride, in your "Open Letter to the Open Source Community" your offer to negotiate with us comes at the end of a farrago of falsehoods, half-truths, evasions, slanders, and misrepresentations. You must do better than this. We will not attempt to erect a compromise with you on a foundation of dishonesty. Your statement that Eric Raymond was "contacted by the perpetrator" of the DDoS attack on SCO begins the falsehoods. Mr. Raymond made very clear when volunteering his information and calling for the attack to cease that he was contacted by a third-party associate of the perpetrator and does...

TOLEDO, Ohio -- Now that the majors are over, Phil Mickelson wants a shot at the minors -- in baseball. Mickelson is scheduled to have a tryout Friday with Toledo, the Triple-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, with hopes of pitching for the Mud Hens this weekend. ''This is a lifetime dream of mine, and I'm extremely grateful to the Toledo organization for giving me the chance to live it,'' Mickelson said in a statement. Mickelson, whose 21 victories on the PGA Tour are the most of any player in the modern era to have never won a major, threw...

<p>Here's the thing about the human heart: You can't legislate it. You can't make laws requiring people to like broccoli. You can't force people into theaters to see "Gigli."</p> <p>And it's the reason the NFL's minority hiring policy is seriously flawed.</p>

<p>HOWELL TOWNSHIP -- They've come late at night, holding flashlights, their beams cutting the dark in the middle of 1,000 acres of wheat fields. They've come in the afternoon under blue sky to lift their arms and pray.</p> <p>One group wanted to camp. Others want to take pictures.</p>

BALTIMORE -- Chicago Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa has at least one high-profile supporter who has endured his share of media scrutiny while leading an entire country. Former president Bill Clinton told Sosa to hang in there. Sosa had his eight-game suspension reduced by one game by Major League Baseball on Wednesday, a day after having a hearing that included Sosa's agent, Tom Reich, and Cubs president Andy MacPhail speaking on Sosa's behalf. Sosa spoke candidly before playing Tuesday against the Baltimore Orioles about the fallout he expects from using a corked bat last week in a game against the Tampa...

Peter Jennings interviewing Hans Blix doesn't ask Blix about missiles already fired by Iraq. He does ask Blix if he thinks Iraq has wmd's. Blix says yes.
