In its nearly 100-year history, few events have stopped the Grand Ole Opry broadcasts. And while each calendar year is different, the Opry’s weekend shows, now on Friday and Saturday nights, have more than a few times, including this year, fallen on Christmas Eve and/or Christmas Day. Back on Christmas Eve 1960, as Nashville was recovering from three days of snowfall and bitter cold, the Opry presented a jubilant show with Patsy Cline, Hank Snow, Archie Campbell, and Minnie Pearl.

Dolphin Tale in 3D
Directed by: Charles Martin Smith
Cast: Nathan Gamble, Harry Connick Jr., Ashley Judd, Morgan Freeman
Running Time: 1 hr 53 mins
Rating: PG
Release Date: September 23, 2011
Plot: A boy (Gamble) makes a strong connection with a dolphin named Winter, whose tail was lost.
Who’S It For? Kids with a love of dolphins are the obvious audience for this family-friendly, slow-paced film.
Expectations: I do most of my crying in the movie theater, and I figured even though this film looked a little cheesy it could work for me. Plus, having Freeman in this flick couldn’t hurt, right?
Scorecard (0-10)
Actors:
Nathan Gamble as Sawyer Nelson: First things first, while there are many adults in this film, the first two leads are 11-year-old children. Sawyer has father issues, so he’s looking for a fish to replace that lost affection. Ok, he’s not exactly looking, but he definitely finds it.

- The Scorecard Review
The first part of Bob Dylan's autobiography, "Chronicles: Volume One" spent a long time on the New York Times non-fiction best seller list in 2004 and fans have since been waiting for more. EW reports that Bob Dylan is returning to writing again, and rumored to have signed a six book deal with Simon & Schuster, his publisher for "Chronicles."
Dylan has yet to confirm the report himself, and he'd have to stop touring for the love of God, but the deal is rumored to include two more volumes of his Chronicles memoirs, and a book based on his Xm satellite radio show, "Theme Time Radio Hour." The subjects of the three remaining books are unknown.
Read this masterful excerpt from "Chronicles: Volume One," courtesy of NPR from a piece that included an interview with Dylan from the time of it's release in '04.
Lou introduced me to Jack Dempsey, the great boxer.
