Clad in vintage black suits, narrow ties, fedoras, and omnipresent wraparound shades, the Blues Brothers delivered spirited renditions of classic soul hits in the tradition of the signature Stax-Volt sound; purists may noneffervescent flinch, just if postal code else the grouping deserves credit for introducing whatever number of individual and blues classics to a newfangled propagation of listeners piece as well allowing some of the virtually talented sitting work force in the stage business a prospect to smoothen onstage and screen. According to "Don Kirshner" (actually Saturday Night Live bandleader Paul Shaffer in disguise), the Blues Brothers' history was as follows: "In 1969, Marshall Checker, of the fabled Checkers Records, called me on a modern vapors act that had been playacting in the little, funky clubs on Chicago's South Side....Today they are no longer an reliable blues act, but have managed to become a practicable commercial-grade product." In realism, however, vocalist Jake and harpist Elwood Blues were music lovers John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, deuce of SNL's brightest stars world Health Organization created their respective aliases in early 1976 to quick up crowds ahead performances of the hit series. The Blues Brothers made their national TV debut with Belushi and Aykroyd outfitted in the bee costumes they often wore for another sketch, playacting (of course enough) Slim Harpo's "I'm a King Bee," and in the months to follow they grew in popularity, appearance on the computer program with increasing regularity. The Blues Brothers' band included cover Memphis school term hands like guitarist Steve Cropper and bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn, world Health Organization together appeared on many of the original Stax label recordings of songs in the group's repertoire; later incarnations too featured notables like bluesman Matt "Guitar" Murphy. While opening for comedian Steve Martin in Los Angeles in 1978, the Blues Brothers recorded their debut live LP, Briefcase Full of Blues; the album chop-chop went platinum, launching Top 40 hit covers of "Soul Man" and "Gum elastic Biscuit." They also toured in 1980 to promote their feature-length picture show, The Blues Brothers, a sprawling musical clowning featuring cameos by everyone from Cab Calloway to Aretha Franklin, as well as their irregular LP, Made in America; 2 more Top 40 hits -- "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "Who's Making Love" -- appeared that same class. In 1981, The Best of the Blues Brothers was released, farther solidifying their massive popularity; even so, on March 5, 1982, Belushi died in Hollywood of an accidental drug o.d., and the Blues Brothers' saga was effectively over. Or so it seemed; as the picture show remained a religious cult favourite and old Saturday Night Live sketches continued to run in syndication, the group's "fable" continued to grow, and, in 1988, Cropper, Dunn, Murphy, and other players re-formed the Blues Brothers Band for a world go, often funding vocalizer Eddie Floyd. In 1992, they even cut a new LP, Redness White and Blues, which featured a guest show from Aykroyd/Elwood. Around the same time, Aykroyd also mounted his House of Blues franchise, an outside chain of upscale blues joints; he, worker John Goodman, and Belushi's crony Jim also appeared on occasion in a new Blues Brothers batting order. Finally, in 1998 a second motion-picture show, Megrims Brothers 2000, was released to negative reviews and poor boxwood office returns.

R. Kelly addresses judge in child porn trial

R&B star says he decided not to testify





CHICAGO -- R. Kelly told the judge in his child pornography trial Tuesday that he doesn't plan to testify in his own defense.
After Judge Vincent Gaughan told Kelly he had a right to not testify, the R&B singer leaned forward at the defense table with his hands folded and -- speaking for the first time at the trial -- responded: "I decided not to testify."
The jury wasn't in the room at the time.
Kelly, 41, has pleaded not guilty to charges that he videotaped himself having sex with an underage girl. Both Kelly and the alleged victim, now 23, have denied being on the tape.
Also Tuesday, the judge ruled that jurors can view the sex tape when they begin deliberating.
Kelly's lawyers had asked the judge to bar jurors from reviewing the graphic video, saying they worried jurors would overemphasize one piece of evidence. But prosecutors argued that the tape is the primary subject of the trial and couldn't be kept from jurors.
Prosecutors are scheduled to call two rebuttal witnesses. Closing arguments are likely to be delivered Thursday.
Kelly's attorneys surprised courtroom observers by resting their case Monday. Over two days, Kelly's lawyers called 12 witnesses. One was a forensics expert who testified there didn't appear to be a mole on the back of a man in a sex tape.
Defense attorneys say Kelly has a mole on his back, so the man on the tape can't be him. But a prosecution witness who'll take the stand for a second time is expected to challenge that claim.

Paltrow's Traumatic Haircut

Gwyneth Paltrow's new shorter haircut was an emotional transition for the star, because it involved cutting off hair she has had since before her father died. The actress began growing her hair before film maker Bruce Paltrow died in 2002, and she has since married Coldplay rocker Chris Martin and given birth to their two children. Paltrow tells the July issue of Harper's Bazaar, "I was very, very attached to my hair. I grew it when I was pregnant. I still had hair from when my father was alive. I made it like a talisman. And then I was ready to let go of it, and so I chopped it off and ... aaah!"

Pop, country fight frequency grab

MTV, Grand Ole Opry urge regulators on wireless issue





WASHINGTON -- The Grand Ole Opry and MTV may be at opposite ends of the music spectrum, but they are part of a coalition urging federal regulators to stand up to a frequency grab by Microsoft and Google that could render wireless microphones useless.
In papers filed at the FCC Tuesday, a coalition that includes the Opry, Country Music Television, the Country Music Assn. and MTV Networks contends that allowing millions of wireless devices to use the same frequencies as wireless microphones would be a "catastrophe."
"We know all too well that there is no 'second chance' to redo a live performance," said Opry music director and broadcast producer Steve Gibson. "The white spaces proposals being considered by the FCC could turn 'Music City' into a silent city unless they get it right. As it stands, these proposals will not provide critical protection to the wireless microphone systems that are integral to every show."
While the fight over the use of so-called "white spaces" -- the vacant areas between broadcast channels -- has been raging between broadcasters and the high-technology companies, the live music industry has been quietly concerned over the problem the new unlicensed devices could cause.
Tuesday's filing marks the first time the Opry, CMT, CMA, MTVN, Fitzgerald Hartley (management for Vince Gill and LeAnn Rimes), SGTV (producer for the Dove Awards) and SeisMic Sound (audio engineers for the CMT Video Music Awards and the Dove Awards) have raised their voices in unison to oppose the development.
A coalition of high-tech companies, including Microsoft, Intel, Google and Dell, want to use white spaces as a way to connect such products as digital cameras and music players to the Web.
Proponents of the technology argue that TV-spectrum-based Internet service could be less expensive and more accessible than current phone and fiber-optic lines, forcing other high-speed Web service providers to lower their prices.
But broadcasters have argued that the devices being tested that are supposed to seek out the white spaces simply don't work. Their arguments have been backed up by tests at the FCC, though the companies keep trying.
