Countrified reader SJ noticed the full-color treatment Bishop receives in the February 12 issue. According to SJ the article “talks some about his work in politics, the disbanding of the Bishops, his return to SG music, and his Grammy nomination. It is a pretty generic article. The thing that is interesting to me is that […]

Hawkeyed reader Tom comes up with the catch of the day:
It took awhile, but the Hoppers finally made a lowkey but nonetheless public statement about the situation with Denice in their fairly recent biography. At the end of a fairly long chapter about Dean & Kim, the chapter ends with a brief passage under the […]

Um, this bio of Charlotte and Greg Ritchie should really be updated. Not only is it written as if Doug Riley is still alive, but in paragraph three beneath a big ole photo of Greg, Charlotte, and their child, the text reads “The [sic] don’t have any children yet but hopefully one day that will […]

Bonus: Try making their name […]

Three sets of photos to help you kill time before work is done: Reader BC sends along this link to some wonderful Hoppers photos from all over time and space (don’t miss the Festival of Hair shots, one of Kim Hopper and one of Connie). NM recommends shots from the Crabbs/Ball Brothers/Bowlings/Bishop taping here and […]

Sogospelnews.com’s SGN Music Awards nominees were announced yesterday. Normally I would let this go unremarked upon, as these awards tend to function mostly as an index of the people with whom the Unthanks, SGN’s family of owners and staffers, are currently attempting to curry favor or do business. And I hate to break the cold […]
