• Will Racing Soon Be Over at the Nashville Speedway?

  In his post "50 Complaining Neighbors 1, Nashville and History 0," Glen Harness argues that the Nashville Speedway's days are numbered. He believes an incompetent and disinterested Fair Board, coupled with contract problems and the possibility of major code violations, have made 2008 the final season of racing at the speedway. Harness' prediction: "So what will happen is sometime in 2009 the Mayor will make a big announcement about the Fair moving to another place and they're going to buy the ne

• Warped Tour Goes Country?

  D. Ricky Rodriguez According to this Billboard article (via Reuters) Vans Warped Tour co-founder Kevin Lyman has decided to apply his summer-fest savvy business model to country music with a "multi-act, multistage, sponsor-driven and conservatively priced" roadshow that will make its inaugural run in the summer of 2010. To put the tour together, Lyman has opened an office of his 4fini Productions in Nashville. His company's team visited Nashville in January to meet with labels, managers and a

• Kyle Busch Smashes Guitar Trophy: Rock 'n' Roll or Just a Dick Move?

  AP PhotoAccording to various reports, NASCAR driver Kyle Busch, after winning a race in Nashville, was handed the customary trophy: a custom hand-painted Gibson Les Paul guitar. Which he proceeded to smash--or at least attempt to smash--on the ground before tossing it to his crew. According to Sam Bass, the guy who hand-painted the guitar and "put a lot of heart and soul" into it, Busch acted in "the spirit of rock 'n' roll." Did he?

And remember how lots of folks responded with something along the lines of "That was a real dick move, buddy!" Well all the "dick move" jeers must have made it back to Busch's publicist, because Fox 17 reports that he's just made a hefty donation ($30,000) to two Metro schools for the purchase of 162 Gibson guitars--20 of them electri

What were the criteria for the artists we selected? They're from Nashville, they've got artistic merit according to the writer selected for the profile, and they plan on doing stuff in 2010. You know how a lot of bands want to be covered, but they won't, you know, do stuff? These guys all definitely have stuff in the works. So Dani
