Notes for Wednesday May 22, 2019
We
visit with Grammy Award winner and Country Music Hall of Famer Randy
Travis and his wife Mary about the new book “Forever
and Ever, Amen: A Memoir of Music, Faith, and Braving the Storms of
Life” written with Ken
Abraham, a New York Times best-selling author known around the world
for his collaborations with high-profile public figures.
The
long-awaited, deeply personal story of one of American music's
greatest icons, a remarkable tale of the utmost heights of fame and
success, the deepest lows of life's sorrows, and a miraculous return
from the brink of death—told as only Randy Travis can.
Beloved
around the world, Randy Travis has sold more than 25 million albums
in both country and gospel and is considered one of the finest
performers of his generation, admired by superstars across the
musical landscape, from Garth Brooks to Mick Jagger.
From
a working-class background in North Carolina to a job as a cook and
club singer in Nashville to his "overnight success" with
his smash 1986 album Storms of Life--which launched the
neotraditional movement in country music--Randy’s first three
decades are a true rags-to-riches story.

A
Colorado man who burglarized a polygamous compound in southwestern
South Dakota has been sentenced to three years of probation. The
Rapid City Journal reported that 29-year-old Wade Bird pleaded guilty
to drug, burglary, and theft conspiracy charges. Authorities allege
Bird and another man in January 2018 tried to steal trailers and
other items from the compound in rural Custer County. The compound is
run by members of a Mormon splinter group known as the Fundamentalist
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, or FLDS. The second
suspect is in Colorado facing prosecution for allegedly violating a
protection order and being a fugitive from justice.

Ulysses Was Once Banned in Four Countries. Though now considered one of the greatest books of English literature ever written, James Joyce‘s Ulysses was once banned in the United States, Canada, Ireland, and England, due to its sexually explicit content, leading to the British Director of Public Prosecutions to call it a “filthy book.”

After allegedly yelling at a group of school children and fighting a tree, a shirtless Florida man was arrested in Milton on May 5th. 32-year-old George Ammons was charged with disturbing the peace and booked into the Santa Rosa County Jail with a $100 bond. As of Tuesday, he remained in custody. According to an arrest report, a police officer was dispatched to Russell Harber Landing Park about a suspicious person who was upsetting a field trip of over 300 students on May 5th. A teacher advised law enforcement that a white, shirtless man wearing blue jeans and a pair of glasses was “hanging around” the children. Ammons told the police that he’d walked from “East Milton to Burger King” to see his children and believed that they might be in the park. The officer told Ammons to leave the park until the field trip had left. Upon hearing this, the report stated, Ammons “walked a few feet and refused to leave and began fighting a tree.” (https://bit.ly/2EcYANo)

A
man in Marlow, England, has been fined and had his license suspended
by the police for driving with a “dangerous” amount of fast-food
wrappers and sundry trash in his car. Police said he was so inundated
that there was even “rubbish under the floor pedals,” potentially
obstructing the car’s braking function. The man was pulled over —
and eventually arrested — by the Thames Valley Roads Policing Unit
for reasons that were not shared by authorities, but quickly learned
there was a much more alarming issue at hand. In an image obtained by
cops, McDonald’s wrappers and cups, Styrofoam containers, receipts,
documents, and various other indiscernible pieces of garbage can be
seen spilling out of the driver’s side door, on the dash, and
behind the driver pedals. (https://nyp.st/2Yybc9S)THESE
