Project In Southern U.S. Promotes ‘Music Triangle’

Blues. Jazz. Country music. Rock n’ roll. Gospel. Southern Gospel. Cajun-zydeco. Soul/ R&B. Bluegrass.

Nine of America’s most well-known music genres now have their own road map, states souixcityjournal.com.

The initiative was led by Nashville preservationist Aubrey Preston along with a group of historians and music lovers.  They have come up with the “Americana Music Triangle.”

Stretching from Nashville to Memphis to New Orleans, the triangle includes locations in the South that contributed to the birth of the musical genres, from Clarksdale, Mississippi, the home of blues masters Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker, to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, the site of the famed music studio where Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones and many others recorded songs.

Like other small towns in the triangle, Clarksdale, Mississippi – a city of about 17,200 about 1 ½ hours’ drive south of Memphis – has seen its share of population loss, poverty, troubled schools and blight.  They are now looking to earn more tourist dollars.

Destinations are connected by the so-called “Gold Record Road,” a 1,500-mile stretch of highway made up of Interstate 40 from Nashville to Memphis, Highway 61 —the “Blues Trail” — from Memphis to New Orleans, and the Natchez Trace Parkway from Nashville to Natchez, Mississippi.

Travelers planning road trips can use a flashy website, or “web guide,” that gives destinations in the triangle and describes points of interest in more than 30 communities in Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas.

The online driving trail map is at americanamusictriangle.com.

Authorities responded to a 911 call at the school at 8:34 a.m. and found Jillian Jacobson, of Anaheim, in full cardiac arrest.

It was an apparent suicide, according to CNN.

Rep. Duncan Hunter Makes Absurd Claim That ISIS Has Crossed The Southern Border

Earlier this month, Rep. Duncan Hunter made the assertion on Fox News that “ISIS is coming across the southern border.”

He claimed that “at least 10 ISIS fighters have been caught coming across the Mexican border…”  He gave no names, nationalities, or specifics. No dates, photographs, mug-shots or videos, or other evidence.

When asked how he knows they are coming across the border, he just said, “because I’ve asked the border patrol…”  Again, no names of agents or commanders, and no specifics.

Local news will usually give some specifics or evidence about local criminals, such as their name, a photograph or mug-shot, the date when they were last seen or video footage. So far, there has been no such evidence of these “ISIS fighters coming across the border.”  If it is true, wouldn’t it be all over every news channel?

Why was only Fox News covering the story?

Below is the show with Greta Van Susteren:

Here is a take on it by the TYT Network:

Politifact gave the claim a rating of “pants on fire” – in other words, the statement is not accurate and makes a ridiculous claim.

Last month, Rep. Jason Chaffetz made a similar “blanket assertions” about people crossing the border with “ties to known terrorist organizations in the Middle East.” Later Chaffetz diluted the accusation to people with “known ties to a terrorist country” or “known ties from a Middle Eastern country.”

Chaffetz also gave no names, no specifics.
