Garth goes to great lengths to portray her in a neutral light as she's the girls mother, but she's a nightmare. And the studio is being used by other artists beside Garth. :) Actually LOS he had no choice but to come full stop; his ex wife was insistent on the retirement or she’d drag everything in to court for years to try to make sure he didn’t get to see his daughters.

Artists - famous and otherwise - reduce their career commitments, sometimes to the point of giving up performance altogether, for extended periods because of family reasons all the time.

It always seemed to me that Garth was trapped by his own success--that after hitting the top and then seeing his sales start to decline, he was afraid to put out new albums that might "only" go platinum or might even fail to hit #1. It just doesn't make sense to me that the reason he hasn't been making albums is because he needs to be with his daughters. He'd be the only artist in history who had to take an 18-year-break for that reason. “once his youngest is off to uni I strongly suss Garth will back full force.”

Sidenote: my friend Takara took that video. Dierks thanked her personally for capturing the moment so perfectly. :) David Nail and Gavin Degraw? Interesting. That pairing might actually work...

You just never know who might show up on that program! (lol) I disagree with the idea people in San Francisco have an aversion to guys wearing cowboy hats! Wasn't one of the Village People a cowboy? That Wanda Jackson video is great! Its so nice that Jack White wasn't there to screw it up! Yay! As far as Dylan covers go Elana James' version of "One More Night" on her one and only solo album is top shelf. I wish they would have a Micro-Festival here in Los Angeles featuring Sunny Sweeney, Amber Digby, and Miss Leslie! That would get things off to a good start...

Ray Benson wore his when he lived and played there, and other Stetson-wearing residents have included Peter Rowan, Elvin Bishop, John Fogerty when he started the Blue Ridge Rangers...I'm sure there's more. Of course, around the time punk music started, Nashville was in a period when few of its stars were wearing cowboy hats. Benson once told me that the first time he attended the CMA Awards, the only people in cowboy hats were him, Hank Jr., Willie Nelson and Charlie Daniels, and they were all considered longhaired hippies by the Music Row establishment of the time.
