been spotted out and about in Nashville recently, but he's not on vacation.

on a duets project with country and bluegrass star Alison Krauss. There's
no word on how far along the sessions are or when it might be released,

Attacks Babs |
pr-inside reports: BARBRA STREISAND was shocked
when a concertgoer disagreed with her political views and pelted her with
ice while she was performing in south Florida on Monday night (30OCT06).
The music legend was on stage at the BankAtlantic
Center in Fort Lauderdale and brought out a GEORGE W BUSH impersonator
during one part of her show. The phony US president jokingly asked her
if they could sing a song together, to which Streisand replied, "How about
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?", referring to her 1970s disco duet with DONNA SUMMER.
At that point a disgruntled fan threw ice at the 64-year-old star, according
to website TMZ.com.
Both the heckler and the ice thrower were escorted
out of the venue, which caused Streisand to quip, "If you want to hear
my songs, buy my albums and stay at home," [Yeah why would you go to a
concert and expect someone to sing
in other words don't get bilked by
her ridiculous ticket prices
guess these aren't really concerts, they
are political events.. maybe some fans will sue for false advertising?
