Here's something to look forward to. Randy Owen's autobiography is coming out this fall on the same day as his new CD. Look for the book Born Country and the CD One on One on November 11th.

Around the web:
Willie Nelson's theatre is going to open next week in Texas. Willie's Place Theater will feature his BioWillie premium biodiesel fuel and other amenities for truckers and travelers. Rissi Palmer has signed with IMG Models for global endorsement opportunities. And John Rich is producing the next Kenny Rogers album.

And finally, a follow up to the story about the fan ejected from the Tim McGraw concert. A man claiming to be the manhandled fan, Marcus Nirschl, called his local radio station yesterday to explain his side of the story. Basically, he doesn't know why he was pulled on stage and roughed up. But he's still a fan of Tim's music. The fan claims that he was being jostled around while trying to get to his third row seat. His hat fell off in the process, and when he bent down to pick it up, he heard Tim say to "get rid of this guy." When Tim began reaching for his hand, the fan thought that Tim recognized him from the many previous concerts he had attended and was going to pull him up on stage for some dancing. The fan claims to have jumped up onto a chair to make it easier to get onstage, but soon enough Tim was dragging him up by his belt and throwing him across the stage, at which point he still thought that he was picked as the dancing fan. That idea changed when he alleges to have seen Tim pull back his fist right before he was escorted off the stage. The fan claims to have been questioned by police and refused re-entry into the concert. No charges have been filed in connection with the incident.
