The ringtones are now available

My network is Nextel, so we have only been able to get a few polyphonics, songs from the River in Reverse and When I Was Cruel. Here are the new ringtones, do not know if they vary from carrier to carrier. I Dont Want to Go to Chelsea Red Shoes Accidents Will Happen Alison (music not just polyphonic...

Im a ringtone junkie, whenever my ex calls or texts I have "Episode of Blonde" "The Sharpest Thorn" is text messages, calls are divided between "Pump it Up" for friends, "A Certain Girl" for prospective girlfriends.

Usually, when Elvis and the Imposters play Atlanta without any special guests, they play the Tabernacle - much better venue than Chastain and much more involved crowd. I've seen EC with Allen and Emmylou at Chastain the past two summers and the audience is just downright embarassing in their lack o...

No southeast dates announced. With the exception of the people that go to Chastain Park in Atlanta I bet it is a great place to see EC on a cool spring night. Ryman in Nashville perhaps, Memphis in May music fest possibly.

Anyway excited to see what dates will pop up in the Nashville area.

Elvis deserves to get paid as well, look at all the other artists who have 1% of the talent and songwriting ability as E.C. and see where he lies on the wealth chart. N'Sync, Poison, Colin Farrell, David Beckham, Britney Spears, and any shortstop who hits .215 or above are celebrities who make way m...

Why is it that when asked for a (ie singular) killer line we end up with people putting in verses, couplets or verses? :? Maybe I'm just being too literal. Or it could be that I'm right and everyone else is wrong. That'll be it! :lol: A few years ago the answer would have been the quick witty one l...

At the 9:30 show last night John Conley was talking about his son who was a Marine stationed in Iraq. People applauded, as we should always applaud our servicemen and women. He then sang some hokey song about the service that sounded like a sequel to any number of Toby Keith songs. I mentioned that ...

For those of you that can not make it, you can go to http://www.wsmonline.com and listen to the show in its entirety. WSM radio in Nashville plays the Grand Ole Opry shows live. Nashville is on Central Standard Time.
