First of all, yours truly (MaryAnne) is super frosted because I just spent a good hour or so yesterday working on this update and my cursed computer froze up before I could save the file!!! Had it all done! Ready to roll!! It was beautiful and smarmy! Now I can’t remember what the heck I wrote and I gotta try an’ make it all beautiful and smarmy again! You can’t recreate spontaneous stuff like this! One shot deal folks!! I HATE AOL!!!!
There, now that I got that out of my system…. thank you very much. LOL
Well now, it ain’t been all that quiet on the southern front. LOL. We just haven’t gotten around to posting some news! (Aren’t you glad we don’t run a 24 hour news network? “Ahh…tune in next hour, maybe we’ll have something.”
First, in the Musical Notes and Nonesense Department…
Jessica Simpsons video for “These Boots are Made for Walking” is getting a lot of attention since it’s release a little over a week or so ago. We knew featuring the General would bring in the crowd! What’s that? Oh yeah, that bikini….well, ya can’t please everybody. Despite the General’s presense in the video it should be noted that at least one of the doors was opened at some point during the video (I have not seen the video with my own eyes yet, this is being reported by other folks). I gotta lodge a protest tho’….the doors are supposed to be welded shut! It’s a race car!! What part of this does Hollywood not understand?!?!
Anyway….moving on…coming to a town near you….
July is shaping up to be a busy month for Dukes related events! Check out the websites of your favorite DOH personalties to see where they’ll be at! Their sites are listed in our links section. (We’re not responsible for sites that have no appearance listing. Please don’t email us asking why there’s no appearance listing for a particular cast member!)
(Note from Meadowmufn: Or you can check our Cast Appearances page, which we actually do sometimes update… occasionally. Ok, rarely, but I just updated it today!)
Meanwhile, the Museum of Television and Radio is currently running an exhibit called “TV Goes Hollywood” from June 10 to August 21. From their website…
The Museum of Television and Radio couldn’t help but notice that many of this summer’s cinematic offerings have a somewhat…familar quality. We invite you to reacquaint yourself with the television incarnations of these newly minted movie versions for a refresher course in what makes these pop culture icons such irresistible fair-weather fare.
Obviously the Dukes of Hazzard is part of the exhibit (yes there’s a movie being made for all y’all that have been under a rock for the past 6 to 8 months. LOL). More specifically, Katie at the Museum tells us…From July 22nd through August 4th on Tuesdays to Sundays at 12:30 p.m., the Museum of Television and Radio will be having a screening of an original Dukes of Hazzard episode!
We’ve chosen “Daisy’s Song” in which Daisy realizes that she has been the victim of a scam. A record company that published her song didn’t pay her royalties, so Bo and Luke devise a plan to expose the shady operation by having Daisy seduce the record producer while they follow her to the studio and raise a ruckus.
Come, check it out and help us notify other great Dukes of Hazzard fans!!
25 West 52nd Street (between 5th and 6th)
New York, NY 10019
It should be noted that Daisy doesn’t seduce the record producer (at least, not in my definition of seduce!). But she quite effectively shucks and jives him and frankly any fella with a proper amount of hormones is gonna fall for that anyway. =)So! All you Dukes fans in the NYC area, git your posteriors over to the above address and check it out!
