1982 in country music

This is a list of notable events in country music that took place in the year 1982.

Events

 * October 30 — Hank Williams, Jr. has nine albums simultaneously on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.
 * December 8 — The death of Marty Robbins at age 57 stuns the country music world and leaves a huge void among fans. He is inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame just weeks earlier.

No dates

 * Drake-Chenault syndicates The History of Country Music, a 52-hour country music version of the radio syndicator's successful The History of Rock and Roll (which had three editions issued, the last in 1981). Produced in 1981 and early 1982 before syndicating to radio stations, the radio documentary was hosted by Ralph Emery. Like its rock and roll forebear, the program featured artist interviews, outtakes from notable radio and television broadcasts; spotlights on notable artists, styles and trends, along with songs that helped illustrate the subject; and time sweeps of individual years through 1981, with a montage of the biggest and most noteworthy hits of each year played. The final hour, Hour 52, was a time sweep of all of the country No. 1 songs from 1944 to the then-present, or approximately 650 individual songs that had topped the Billboard country charts. The special was structured much like the Rock and Roll program, allowing radio programmers to air it as a one-time "marathon" special (such as over holiday weekends), in multiple parts over a period of time, or as one-hour weekly programs.

 * July 5 — Dave Haywood, member of Lady Antebellum.

1984 in country music

This is a list of notable events in country music that took place in the year 1984.

Events

 * June 22 — The movie Rhinestone, starring Dolly Parton and Sylvester Stallone, is released to universally negative reviews. The much-hyped movie – about a singer's effort to transform a New York City taxicab driver into a country star within two weeks – flops, but still produces several hit singles, most notably the No. 1 hit "Tennessee Homesick Blues".
 * July 28 — With his No. 1 hit "Angel in Disguise", Earl Thomas Conley becomes the first artist in any genre to have four Billboard chart-topping songs from the same album. The album in question is Don't Make it Easy For Me, and in addition to "Angel in Disguise" and the title track, Conley also hit with 1983's "Your Love's on the Line" and "Holding Her and Loving You". The feat is part of Conley's impressive 1980s streak, where he enjoyed 16 No. 1 hits through 1989.

1986 in country music

This is a list of notable events in country music that took place in the year 1986.

Events

 * January 18 — "American Country Countdown" with Bob Kingsley expands from three to four hours. Several new features — including a chronological playback of songs reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and a calendar feature (highlighting a birthday, or anniversary of a notable song or event in country music) — are added.
 * June 25 — Jenifer Strait, the 13-year-old daughter of George Strait (who by now is one of country music's top performers) is killed in a car accident in San Marcos, Texas. Her father still refuses to talk about his daughter's death to this day.
 * July 19 — Columbia Records drops Johnny Cash from the label's roster after 28 years.

No dates

 * For the first time in its 42-year history, there is a new No. 1 song for each week of the year, according to Billboard magazine's Hot Country Singles Chart.
 * 1986 was a renaissance year in country music, with a host of "A New Traditionalist"-minded artists reinvigorating a genre that critics were saying had grown increasingly stagnant and pop-oriented. Among the most successful new artists: Holly Dunn, Judy Rodman, Ricky Van Shelton, Randy Travis and Dwight Yoakam. Keith Whitley, another artist who had been around for a few years, has his first major hit early in the year. They – along with popular newcomers from earlier in the decade such as Alabama, George Strait and Reba McEntire, and longtime artists like George Jones, Merle Haggard and Conway Twitty – proved not only that country music was the music of the people, but also that the genre had real resiliency.
 * After 17 years of playing co-host to Roy Clark, Buck Owens announces his departure from the still-popular "Hee Haw." Clark would soldier on alone for the next six years, with rotating guest stars each week.

Talk:Elaine of Astolat

Untitled
I'm coming back to finish this, electrical storm out so I have to shut down my computer Sherurcij 01:08, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

Painting . ..
The painting "Elaine" captioned "as painted by Waterhouse" is actually "The Lady of Shalott" from 1888 (see: http://www.jwwaterhouse.com/paintings/index.cfm?decade=188 ... also note that the Lady in the painting is very much alive). I don't have a better illustration, but ... thought it should be noted.

 * Much of the article treats Elaine of Astolat and the Lady of Shalott as the same character. Though the latter was undoubtedly based on the former, I think they should be treated as distinct literary entities.  --Trystan 15:33, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

not Malory"s version
The article currently wrongly attributes a synopsis of the story to Malory. In Malory, Elaine seduces Lancelot by deceit, Galahad is conceived and is later born, which not possible if Elaine dies 10 days after the tournament. It is possible the story on this page has origins in Tennyson not Malory. RichardJ Christie (talk)

 * Galahad's mother was Elaine of Corbenic. Mannanan51 (talk) 22:51, 24 June 2012 (UTC)mannanan51

External links modified
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Elaine of Astolat. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
 * Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20070728134700/http://ltl22.exp.sis.pitt.edu/lancelot/TheStory.htm to http://ltl22.exp.sis.pitt.edu/lancelot/TheStory.htm

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Tennyson's source
The section on Tennyson has a rather confusing sentence suggesting that his source for "Lady of Shalott" was the 13th century Mort Artu rather than an Italian source. I suspect Tennyson was working from Malory (speaking as a medievalist, not a Victorianist-- could someone verify this?), who himself got the character of Elaine from the Mort Artu. The sentence on Tennyson's source should be edited to more clearly reflect this.

1987 in country music

This is a list of notable events in country music that took place in the year 1987.

Events

 * June 13 — Randy Travis' "Forever and Ever, Amen" spends three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. It is the first multi-week chart-topping song since "Lost in the Fifties Tonight (In the Still of the Night)" by Ronnie Milsap spent two weeks atop the chart in September 1985; in that time span, 85 other songs had been No. 1. Only three other songs during the 1980s — all of them in 1980 — would spend more than two weeks at No. 1, owing much to how Billboard compiled the chart data at the time.
 * September — Dolly Parton's TV variety series, Dolly, premieres on ABC in September. Despite strong ratings in its early weeks, the show was panned by critics and viewership declined. The series was cancelled at the end of the 1987–1988 season.

 * 46-year-old singer-songwriter K.T. Oslin becomes the success story of the year with her hit "80s Ladies", a Grammy Award-winner which tells the story of three childhood friends who stay together through an era of social change. The song spawns an award-winning video and, despite only reaching No. 7 on the Hot Country Singles chart, was one of the most played songs of the year. Oslin's rise to fame in her mid-40s came at a time when mainstream country radio was beginning to shun older female artists for younger, more attractive stars.

Gaël

Gaël (Gallo: Gaèu, Breton: Gwazel) is a commune in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in Brittany in northwestern France.

It lies southwest of Rennes between Saint-Méen-le-Grand and Mauron. In the 18th century, a fair was held twice a year in August and October.

Toponymy
Old versions of the place-name include Guadel in 799, Wadel in 816, Vadel in 851, Wael in 1096, Gael as soon as 1112.

Its Breton name is Gwazel, that comes directly from Wadel > Gwadel > Gwazel, in Breton intervocalic [d] becomes [z], like in mezo ″drunk″, Welsh meddw ″drunk″. In French intervocalic [d] disappears totally : Wadel > Wael (Latin cadena > French chaine > English chain) and initial Germanic w- became gu- [gʷ] (+ -a) before becoming simply [g] : Guadel > Gael (cf. Old French guarder > French garder, English guard). The symbol ë means in Modern French that the preceding a has to be pronounced : Ga-el [gaɛl] (not [gɛʲl])

Nevertherless the place-name is not from Breton but from Gallo-Romance Wadellu(m), derived of Old Low Franconian *wad ″ford″ > French gué ″ford″ (Old Norman wei > Norman vey, Picard, Walloon wez). There were always Gallo-Romance speaking communities east of Saint-Brieuc and the Breton languages disappears totally around Gaël in the Middle Ages to be replaced by Gallo.

A main ford allowed to cross the Meu stream.

History
It is best known to English historians as being the ancestral seat of Ralph de Guader the first earl of Norfolk and Suffolk in post-Conquest England circa 1070 A.D.

This is an ancient Breton parish to the west of Rennes, whose boundaries formerly stretched to include the territories of Bran, Muel, Saint-Onen, Crouais, Saint-Méen-le-Grand, Concoret and Loscouët-sur-Meu. The parish of Gaël (Guadel) was a dependency of the Archbishopric of Saint-Malo. In the 6th and 7th centuries, Gaël was a major town in the kingdom of Domnonia.

The name is alleged to derive from the word for a ford, river-crossing or river (see Guad- and Guadal-). In local myths there was a 6th-century king Hoël (possible link to King Coel) known as the forest king or "Rex Arboretanus". It is a fact that the town is situated amidst the vast forests of Poutrecouët. A royal castle from this era was sited at Meu, not far from Gaël. This later became the seat of the De Montfort family. The emplacement was captured and dismantled by De Guesclin in 1372.

During World War II, the German Luftwaffe occupied an airfield near Gaël in 1941. The Allied Air Forces based in England attacked the airfield on several occasions in 1943 and 1944 before it was seized by the United States Army in June 1944. Known as Advanced Landing Ground "A-31", the 354th Fighter Group based P-51 Mustang fighters at the airfield from 13 August through 17 September 1944 before moving east to Orconte in the Marne département along with the advancing Allied armies.

After the war, the airfield was dismantled and the land returned to agricultural use.

Geography
The village lies on the left bank of the Meu, which flows southeastward through the commune.

Population
Inhabitants of Gaël are called Gaëlites.

1988 in country music

This is a list of notable events in country music that took place in the year 1988.

Events

 * May 21 – Country music stars highlight a concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Featured: Alabama, The Judds, George Strait and Randy Travis.
 * December –
 * Record producer Jimmy Bowen establishes the Universal Records label.
 * LS Records releases "Spelling on the Stone", a song about Elvis Presley without an artist credit. The song's lyrics, which call the singer's 1977 death into question, are sung by a vocalist whom many believe to be Presley himself.

No dates

 * Time-Life Records releases the first volume of its "Country USA" series. The series, which would eventually include 23 volumes, each chronicles one year per volume – 1950 through 1972. Each volume – offered on two record albums, or one cassette or compact disc – contains liner notes from some of country music's most respected historians. In many cases, the songs offered on each volume represented the first time they had ever been re-released on compact disc. "Country USA" was offered through television and magazine advertisements.
 * The Country Music Association Awards introduced a new award, Vocal Event of the Year, awarding collaborative efforts by two or more artists who normally don't work together (previously such efforts had to be included with Best Duo or Group nominations). The first recipient was the group of Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, and Linda Ronstadt for their Trio album.
 * MTM Records is sold and disestablished after four years. During its short stay in the music business, two songs released by MTM will top the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart: Judy Rodman's "Until I Met You" (1986) and S-K-O's "Baby's Got a New Baby" (1987).
 * Real Country, a 24-hour satellite music network focusing on classic country and neotraditional country, is planned for a 1989 launch by country star Buck Owens out of his Phoenix Arizona radio studios and carried by the Satellite Music Network. It is heard primarily in smaller- and medium-sized markets. Real Country was later sold to ABC Disney which then moved the operations to its radio headquarters in Dallas, Texas. Real Country was later sold to Citadel and is now owned and distributed by Cumulus Media.

Talk:Mixtape

Rapidly getting out of date
Much of this article seems anachronistic, and sometimes even trying to push certain topics.

"The CD-R disc is currently the most common medium for homemade mixes" - really? Still? Most computers are sold without optical drives these days. Surely the USB stick is more dominant now.

I'm also suspicious of the entire "ctape" section. There's no wiki article for it and Googling for that term doesn't turn up anything about mixtapes.

--David G (talk) 00:44, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

 * I am also suspicious of the "ctape" section; the grammar and syntax was off, and Google couldn't provide any information about what a ctape even is. Should this section possibly be removed? BandW2011 (talk) 21:55, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Dubious
The statement in the article, that copyright owners have no recourse if infringing material is given away without profit, is simply not true (at least, not in the United States). Under US copyright law, the copyright owner can argue that their financial interests have been diminished by the very existence of the unauthorized copies. The law also recognizes that the infringer can receive non-financial benefit simply by using the material to advertise himself. Thus, copyright owners most certainly can take legal action against the infringer, and that action can result in the payment of damages to the copyright owner. The statement needs to be removed. NewYorkActuary (talk) 21:53, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

 * The statement in the article is definitely untrue. I'm removing it. Wendy Day and Deborah Mannis-Gardner discuss the issue in the following video for a couple of minutes : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GtC6z7dRjE&t=4m33s . Wirty Inc. (talk) 21:30, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

beginnings of mix tapes
Mix tapes were popular in the 1970s. The article indicates that they didn't become popular until the 1980s, but that just isn't so. The earliest I remember mix tapes being all-over-the-place popular was 1978, but I grew up in a small town in North Carolina. I imagine the mix tape phenomena happened even earlier in places more attuned to music than my small town in NC was. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1004:B0B5:57E6:7C8B:97E:C7AD:BA (talk) 02:52, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

Two Concepts in One Article
I see this article as trying to combine two rather distinct concepts that share only a name. Mixtapes in the original sense have been replaced by playlists, and I would honestly argue that that conception could be merged into that page, because that's really what people were trying to do for each other previously but when everything was on one format. Perhaps a note at the top with a redirect if one comes to the "Mixtape" entry looking for this former conception.

Personally, I would like significantly more information about the current and future uses of the concept of a mixtape, which mostly seems to be an album that an artist wants to classify differently for whatever reason. I'm very curious why no one seems to talk about mixtapes when they can sometimes represent more of the artist's output than traditional albums, like 12 mixtapes to 5 albums or something. Thanks. 130.45.43.153 (talk) 19:53, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I have long meant to split this article because of this. -Lopifalko (talk) 09:49, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree. I have tried a few times to find out just what artists mean now when they call one thing an "album" and another thing a "mixtape" and I can't find anything that explains it. It does seem to me to be that a mixtape is a mixtape just because the artist decided to call it that and not because of any other criteria. Also, Kendrick Lamar put out something he called an "EP" despite it having 14 tracks and being over an hour long. It seems like what something is and what artists decide to call it might not be the same thing at all anymore. 159.2.34.252 (talk) 19:23, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

1989 in country music

This is a list of notable events in country music that took place in the year 1989.

Events

 * May 9 – Rising country star Keith Whitley is found dead at his home, a victim of alcohol poisoning. News of his death sent shockwaves through the industry, given that he had been hailed as a future superstar who helped bring neotraditionalism to the forefront during the 1980s. His widow, Lorrie Morgan, would become a major superstar after his death.

No dates

 * 1989 was one of two years during the 1980s which sprouted the most prolific class of newcomers in country music history (1986 being the other), a trend that had not been seen since the mid-1950s (when artists such as Elvis Presley, George Jones and Johnny Cash first rose to fame). Clint Black was at the head of the class early on, given that he had two of the year's most memorable singles – "A Better Man" and "Killin' Time" – and one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the year (Killin' Time), and was already selling out shows nationwide. Garth Brooks, however, proved to be the 1989 newcomer that stood head and shoulders above everyone else, eventually selling millions of albums, taking worldwide tours and creating some of the most influential music of the 1990s and beyond. Another newcomer, Alan Jackson, had a minor hit with his first release in the autumn of that year with "Blue Blooded Woman;" future singles – all featuring the neotraditional style, would do considerably better, to say the least. Travis Tritt contributed with his brand of rock-influenced country, while Lorrie Morgan (daughter of Grand Ole Opry legend George Morgan) became a star in her own right following the alcohol-poisoning death of her husband, Keith Whitley.
 * Other top newcomers of the year were Suzy Bogguss, and Lionel Cartwright.

Regular series

 * Hee Haw (1969–1993, syndicated)

Births

 * January 30 - Devin Dawson, country singer-songwriter known for his 2018 hit "All on Me".
 * March 10 – Rachel Reinert, member of Gloriana.
 * March 20 – Lindsay Ell, Canadian country singer of the 2010s.
 * August 28 – Cassadee Pope, lead singer of pop rock band Hey Monday, turned country singer; winner of the third season of The Voice
 * December 13 – Taylor Swift, teen star who quickly enjoyed major crossover success by the end of the 2000s decade.

Deaths

 * February 4 – Kenneth C. "Jethro" Burns, 68, of the Homer and Jethro comedy duo.
 * March 8 – Stuart Hamblen, 80, one of radio's first country music superstars, whose later works reflected his religious convictions.
 * May 9 – Keith Whitley, 33, honky tonk-styled singer who rose to fame in the mid-1980s (alcohol poisoning)
 * August 25 – Al Cherney, 56, Albertan fiddler
 * September 23 – Bradley Kincaid, 94, Singer and Guitarist who started his career in 1927 in Chicago over WLS Radio, performing the traditional mountain ballads he had learned during his boyhood in Kentucky, he soon became the genre's first Multimedia superstar. He collected, recorded, and published many of the old Folk ballads, thereby preserving them for posterity. (Automobile Accident).

Nine Elms

Nine Elms is an area of south-west London, England, within the London Borough of Wandsworth. It lies on the River Thames, with Battersea to the west, South Lambeth to the south and Vauxhall to the east. Across the Thames is Pimlico.

The area was formerly mainly industrial but has become more residential and commercial in character. It is dominated by Battersea Power Station, various railway lines and New Covent Garden Market. The Battersea Dogs & Cats Home is also in the area.

Nine Elms has residential developments along the riverside, including Chelsea Bridge Wharf and Embassy Gardens, and also three large council estates: Carey Gardens, the Patmore Estate and the Savona.

History
Nine Elms Lane was named around the year 1645, from a row of elm trees bordering the road, though a path probably existed between York House and Vauxhall from the 1200s. In 1838, at the time of construction of the London and Southampton Railway, the area was described as "a low swampy district occasionally overflowed by the River Thames [whose] osier beds, pollards and windmille and the river give it a Dutch effect".

Nine Elms railway station opened on 21 May 1838 as the first London terminus of the London & South Western Railway, (LSWR) which that day changed its name from the London & Southampton Railway. The neo-classical building was designed by William Tite. The station was connected to points between Vauxhall and London Bridge by Thames steam boats. It closed in 1848 when the railway was extended via the Nine Elms to Waterloo Viaduct to a new terminus at Waterloo (then called Waterloo Bridge). The redundant station and the adjacent area, to the north of the new main line, became the LSWR's carriage and wagon works and main locomotive works until their relocation to Eastleigh in 1909. The company's largest locomotive depot was located on the south side of the main line. The buildings were damaged by bombs in World War II, and closed in 1967. They were demolished in 1968 and replaced by the flower section of the New Covent Garden Market.

Gasworks were established in 1853, close to the existing waterworks of the Southwark and Vauxhall Waterworks Company. Later Battersea Power Station was built on the site.

Vauxhall Motors was formed in 1857 by Scottish engineer Alexander Wilson at Nine Elms, originally as Alex Wilson and Company, before moving to Luton in 1907. There was a plaque commemorating the site of the original factory at the Sainsbury's Nine Elms petrol station on Wandsworth Road which has now been demolished and replaced with a new Sainsbury's superstore and high rise apartments as part of the current Nine Elms regeneration.

In October 2008, the United States Embassy in London announced that it would relocate to the area, moving from Grosvenor Square, Mayfair; the new embassy was completed in December 2017, and began operating in January 2018.

On 16 February 2012, Wandsworth Council approved Ballymore Group's plans for a 15-acre development. Embassy Gardens is set to provide "up to 1,982 new homes alongside shops, cafes, bars, restaurants, business space, a 100 bed hotel, a health centre, children's playgrounds and sports pitches". In 2014, it was reported that Ballymore had engaged Lazard and CBRE Group to raise about €2.5bn to fund the Embassy Gardens development.

Regeneration of the area around Battersea Power Station started in 2013, with the power station structure secured by 2016. The Power Station building opened in October 2022. It contains shopping and leisure facilities, office space and housing. To service the area, Nine Elms tube station, on the London Underground, opened in September 2021, as part of an extension of the Northern line from Kennington.

Governance
Previously a part of Queenstown Ward, in 2022 Nine Elms ward was created, represented on Wandsworth Council by two councillors. The next local election is scheduled to take place in May 2026.

The Labour Member of Parliament for Battersea is Marsha de Cordova. She represented Larkhall ward, adjacent to Nine Elms, on Lambeth Council from 2014 to 2018.

Events

The song is also the only #1 for Alison Krauss and Billy Dean, who are credited as guest vocalists.

Daniel Franzese

Daniel Franzese (born May 9, 1978) is an American actor best known for his roles in the films Bully and Mean Girls. Franzese is the creator of several live comedy shows, including the 2011 rock opera Jersey Shoresical: A Frickin' Rock Opera! and his one-man stand-up performance I've Never Really Made the Kind of Money to Become a Mess in 2013.

After coming out as gay in 2014, Franzese became more active in the fight for civil and human rights in the LGBTQ community; and through his portrayal of the HIV-positive character Eddie in the second season of the HBO series Looking, and its subsequent series finale television film, Looking: The Movie, he has become a well known AIDS activist in the United States. In 2020, Franzese began hosting a weekly comedy and faith podcast, Yass, Jesus! with former Trinity Broadcasting Network host Azariah Southworth.

Early life
Franzese was born in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, New York, the son of Denise, a cafeteria worker, and Ralph "R. J." Franzese, a lounge singer. Franzese attended Piper High School in Sunrise, Florida from 1992 to 1996. After high school, he attended Florida School of the Arts in Palatka, Florida. He is of Italian descent.

Acting
Franzese portrayed high school student Damian Leigh in the teen comedy film Mean Girls (2004). Mean Girls grossed $130.1 million worldwide and has become a cult classic. In 2018, he was set to reprise his role as Damian in Ariana Grande's music video for the song "Thank U, Next", but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts. He was doing a comedy tour at the time.

He has appeared in numerous feature films, including Bully, Party Monster, Bristol Boys and War of the Worlds. He has also guest starred on several television series, including The Comeback, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Burn Notice, Party Down, and the web series Foodies. He had a main role in the 2010 film I Spit on Your Grave.

In 2015, he was cast as Eddie in HBO's comedy-drama television series Looking; and in 2016, he landed the main role of Vern Testaverde in ABC Family's teen drama series Recovery Road. In 2016 and early 2017, he portrayed Jackson Morrison in ABC's legal drama series Conviction. In November 2023, he appeared in a Mean Girls-themed Black Friday commercial for Walmart alongside his original Mean Girls co-stars Lindsay Lohan, Lacey Chabert, Amanda Seyfried and Rajiv Surendra. He portrayed his original Mean Girls character Damian Leigh in a second commercial for Walmart titled "Cady's Wednesday", released on November 15, 2023.

Comedy
Franzese has written, directed and performed several live comedy productions, including his one-man Off-Broadway show, I've Never Really Made the Kind of Money to Become a Mess, which premiered in New York in 2013 at The Players Theater, and his 2011 rock opera Jersey Shoresical: A Frickin Rock Opera!, which also premiered in New York at The Fringe Festival  before its run in Los Angeles at the Hayworth Theatre. Franzese is also an emerging stand-up comedian, and has performed on stages across America at clubs like Stand Up Live in Phoenix and the Comedy Store in Hollywood.

Franzese has been a guest panelist on the Logo TV comedy game show Gay for Play Starring RuPaul and was the host of Gay Skit Happens, a comedy sketch show, also on Logo TV.

Franzese's stand-up comedy tour, Yass You're Amazing!, found success at colleges, clubs and theaters. He has also headlined The Burbank Comedy Festival, The Ruby LA Queer Comedy Festival. In 2019, Franzese performed his hit New York comedy show Danny Franzese and The House Of Glen Coco at SF Sketchfest featuring his pick of the best and brightest in queer comedy.

Personal life
In 2016, Franzese proposed to his boyfriend of two years, stylist Joseph Bradley Phillips, at a Starbucks in North Hollywood, California. They called off their engagement in July 2018.

Activism
After penning a coming out letter to his Mean Girls character Damian in 2014, in which the actor spoke of his admiration for the courage Damian displayed as an openly gay teenager and referring to him as an icon for gay youth, Franzese became an influential voice in the LGBTQ community. When he became an official ambassador for the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, organizations such as GLAAD invited Franzese to host their 2015 gala in San Francisco. He also presented the GLAAD playbook on HIV and AIDS to MSNBC on behalf of the organization. His reputation as an activist grew after he was awarded the role of Eddie, an HIV-positive activist for a non-profit organization, in the HBO series Looking. During his time on the series, Franzese used his celebrity to promote messages of acceptance and understanding for people living with HIV at special events, through media appearances, and a speeches at college campuses, including the University of Wisconsin in April 2016.

Franzese is also an ambassador for LAMBDA Legal, which is dedicated to decreasing the stigma associated with people living with HIV, and changing current HIV-related laws.

In September 2019, Franzese was an ambassador and the host for the AIDS Walk Atlanta & 5K Run, a fundraising and awareness campaign that raises funds to help prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and to provide critical social services and healthcare for people living with HIV. He was also the captain of his team for the event: Team Glen Coco.

In addition to his advocacy on behalf of HIV patients, on March 22, 2019, Franzese partnered with Lonely Whale and Bacardi in their efforts to stop pollution of the oceans with discarded plastic. They generated #thefuturedoesntsuck campaign to persuade the Unicode Consortium to remove all single-use plastic straws, which endanger marine wildlife, from drink icons in its emoji catalog.

2003 in country music

This is a list of notable events in country music that took place in the year 2003.

Events

 * March 10 – During a concert in London, England, Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines said that the band was "ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas" (referring to Maines' hometown of Lubbock and President Bush hailing from the same state). The comment sparked intense controversy and outrage among Americans, including a large share of country music fans. Those who took offense to Maines' comments based their feelings on a number of grounds, including that the country was then on the verge of declaring war on Iraq (which happened less than two weeks later) and that Maines made the comments on foreign soil. Chicks' supporters, meanwhile, cited their right to free speech. Radio stations – perhaps riding the wave of fan sentiment – refuse to play their music on the air, including their then-current hit, "Travelin' Soldier" (which ironically was about a soldier who is about to go to war); some even sponsor anti-Dixie Chicks promotional events, such as disposing and destroying Chicks' compact discs and other merchandise. Maines, meanwhile, defended her stance during a televised interview with Diane Sawyer. Maines and her bandmates – Emily Robison and Martie Maguire – appeared nude (with private parts strategically covered) on the May 2 cover of Entertainment Weekly. Their bodies were covered with words such as "Saddam's Angels" and "Traitor."
 * June - Ashley Gearing charts with "Can You Hear Me When I Talk to You?" at the age of twelve years and one month, breaks a record set by Brenda Lee in 1957 as the youngest female artist to have a single on the country charts.
 * June 11 – Country Music magazine announces that it will cease publication, effective with the August/September 2003 issue. The final issue's cover artist was Martina McBride, as part of a salute to women in country music. The magazine's sister publication, Country Weekly, which had largely taken over the market for country music-related journalism, picks up part of the slack left by the closure of Country Music, both of which were published by American Media Inc.
 * July – The Rascal Flatts video, "I Melt," comes under fire by conservative groups because it contains brief scenes of nudity, in particular lovemaking scenes featuring band member Joe Don Rooney and model Christina Auria. Groups called for the video to be banned from airplay on CMT and Great American Country. Eventually, Rascal Flatts released an edited version of the video, which aired during daytime hours on the two country music-oriented networks.
 * December – The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts honors Loretta Lynn for her lifetime contributions to the arts.

No dates

 * Throughout the year, country music was beset by the deaths of notable figures, including Johnny Cash, whose vastly influential musicianship transcended genres. His wife of 35 years (and longtime singing partner), June Carter Cash, had died four months earlier. Both had appeared in a CMT-aired interview, discussing their lives and careers; it was taped earlier in the year. Other notables that died during the year: Johnny Paycheck, Felice Bryant, Floyd Tillman, Wilma Burgess, Don Gibson, Dave Dudley and Gary Stewart.

Talk:O Clone

Does anyone know if O Clon is available in DVD format anywhere? I first discovered this while living in Paraguay, and my wife fell in love with it. We even met the actress who played the Clone's mother, and she was treated like royalty everywhere we went in Sao Paulo. Unfortunately, we didn't see the end (we moved) and if anyone can help us find a legal way to see the end, we'd appreciate it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.235.6.111 (talk • contribs) 15 June 2005

Outrage
Why is there no mention of the outrage of many Muslim groups in Latin America over this telenovela? They potrayed Muslims in a terrible inaccurate and offensive light prompting cases of discrimination and hate crimes throughout South America. Negative stereotypes aside, the levels of ineptitude in the culture and faith would almost be laughable if it wasnt a cause for so much violence. I don't think I can find any English sources for it, but there should at least be a mention of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.88.134.38 (talk • contribs) 27 February 2006
