arrive only to deal with a Power tripping Immigration lady who is pissed
about an incorrectly filled out form. The promotor tries to reason with
her and her boss for an hour be she won't budge.
She files papers to have you removed from
Canada or go to jail! She also informs you that you are banned from Canada
for 1 year under penalty of arrest and a $5,000 fine if you try to return.[They

| Buckingham
Nicks DVD |
Noble PR reports: lack Hill Pictures in association
with Warner Home Video (WHV) invite you to share the magic of an intimate
concert performance from the multi-platinum enigma, 'Lindsey Buckingham
with Special Guest Stevie Nicks'. Hailing from the hugely successful super-group,
Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey Buckingham's productive and storied solo career
has continued to evolve 18 years after his departure from the band. Released
on DVD on 24th April 2006, this classic Soundstage performance was captured
on eleven high def cameras, mediating a close concert feeling, and with
a recording in 5.1 Surround Sound, this is essential viewing for fans of
Fleetwood Mac and Buckingham's unique style and sound. Having reunited
with Fleetwood Mac in 2003 to embark on a world-wide tour for the album
Say You Will, Buckingham's Soundstage performance spans the various eras
of his career. Whether performing Rumours hits "Never Going Back Again"
and "Go Your Own Way", "Red Rover" and "Peacekeeper" from Say You Will,
or 1981's Law and Order single "Trouble" and the title song from Go Insane,
Buckingham seamlessly ties the decades together with reverent detail. [see

| Hawthorne
Heights No Chickens |
Peta reports: With their forthcoming album,
If Only You Were Lonely, hitting shelves and three months of touring still
ahead of them, Hawthorne Heights is one very busy quintet. That's why the
folks at peta2�PETA's Youth Division�were thrilled when Hawthorne Heights
guitarist and veteran vegetarian Casey Calvert offered to narrate a brand-new
TV public service announcement (PSA) urging fans to boycott KFC.
Says Casey in the PSA, "Did you know that
many of the 850 million chickens killed for KFC's buckets each year have
their wings and legs broken and are scalded to death while they're still
conscious? Probably not, because KFC doesn't want you to know." The PSA
is part of PETA's international "Kentucky Fried Cruelty" Campaign.[see

Can't Make it Here |
conqueroo reports: "We Can't Make it Here,"
James McMurtry's musical commentary on the current state of the union,
is creating a stir with critics, radio programmers, and politicians around
the country. "I've always been a little put off by activists. So you know
it's a dire situation when I have to become one myself," says McMurtry.
McMurtry made the song available as a free download on his website during
the 2004 presidential election. The response to the track was immediate,
overwhelming, and prompted McMurtry to set up an online discussion board
on his website where fans could share their thoughts on the song. Author
Stephen King named "We Can't Make It Here" the number two single of the
year in his influential Entertainment Weekly music column (Childish Things
was his number two album of the year). Robert Christgau, the "Dean of American
Rock Critics," also declared it the second best single of the year in the
Village Voice's Annual Pazz and Jop Poll. Entertainment Weekly declared
it the "protest song of the decade." The disc became available for the
first time without FCC censorship on McMurtry's latest album, 2005's Childish
Things.
Radio stations across the country are making
a bold move by adding the single (which clocks in at over seven minutes)
into regular rotation.[see full story for more]- Click
