I saw Little Big Town again last night. They opened for Keith Urban at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. It was the last show of the tour, and LBT did a 12-song set. It was basically the Tornado album, but they started with "Little White Church" and ended with "Boondocks." Karen talked about how they used to play at 3rd & Lindsley. Kimberly teased the crowd about "motorboatin'. I was there for Little Big Town, but I have to give Keith Urban credit. He gives you everything he's got. Keith brought Karen Fairchild back for a duet.

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2014/01/14/country-star-luke-bryan-making-jump-to-stadiums-on-tour-this-summer/[/url] Three years ago, Luke Bryan was a promising down-bill opening act. This summer he'll join the touring elite with three stadium dates planned as part of his That's My Kinda Night Tour. The country music star during a Tuesday morning news conference announced the stadium shows in Pittsburgh in June and Philadelphia and Chicago in August. Bryan said he's stepping everything up as he heads into just his second headlining tour of about 80 dates. "My main thing is more lights, more speakers, more video, more camera guys, more things to make it a very special, interactive experience with the fans," Bryan said. Bryan has invited Dierks Bentley to join him as a special guest for two of the stadium dates. Lee Brice and Cole Swindell will be openers on the full tour. Very few acts have the power to sell out stadiums — usually older rock 'n' roll acts who've built their touring fan base up over decades. Bryan is joining a growing number of country acts with sales large enough to fill stadiums in the right markets. Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw wrapped a successful stadium tour two summers ago and Chesney usually hits a few each year. Taylor Swift has been selling out stadiums around the world recently. And Bryan's good friend, Jason Aldean, played his first stadiums last year — with Bryan serving as his opening act at Sanford Stadium at the University of Georgia — and just announced a tour of Major League Baseball parks. Pollstar editor-in-chief Gary Bongiovanni says Bryan is following a path already laid down by those artists. "He is following the same successful model used by other rising country artists," Bongiovanni said. "That means mixing in a handful of stadium dates in your strongest markets during an arena tour. Jason Aldean, Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney all did it that way."

Article http://www.littlebigtown.com/story/news/chicago-tribune-arrived-courtesy-of-a-boat-sort-of Pontoon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0O0nzkESTI The song that changed Little Big Town's life wasn't really much of anything, just a tiny little slip of a thing, "a silly song about a boat," is how singer Karen Fairchild puts it, that turned into a monster. Little Big Town had been together for fourteen years when "Pontoon," a goofy Jello shot of a song, landed in 2012, and they soon discovered that the difference between being a well-respected veteran act with a handful of decent-sized hits and being a well-respected veteran act with a crossover No. 1 summer smash was all the difference in the world. The quartet's members, all of whom are also lead vocalists, have been friends forever, and are hopelessly intertwined in just about every way possible: Fairchild and Kimberly Schlapman have been friends since college; Fairchild and Jimi Westbrook are married. They no longer tour together in one bus ("thank the Lord," says Fairchild), but the members of Little Big Town are famously tight. Having their first No. 1 hit didn't change them much as a band, but "it makes us happy, I can tell you that," says Fairchild, on a day off from the band's tour with Keith Urban (they play the United Center on Friday). "You have to love all the music you make the same. They're all your babies. But when one of them gets so much attention and love and takes your career to a whole new level, it's so exciting. It brings us so much joy, and so many opportunities. That's been the biggest surprise of all." The members of Little Big Town didn't write "Pontoon," but they knew a careermaker when they heard one, and in the days before the song was released, the air around them felt different. "Pontoon" might not elevate them to the ranks of Urbans, Chesneys and Swifts, the thinking went, but if it didn't, nothing would. "I think on some songs you know, you know? But you still don't know," is the best way Fairchild can explain it. "When we heard 'Pontoon,' we went in the studio and cut it first on purpose, because we knew it was gonna lead the record. But if you could figure out (how to have a hit), you would do it over and over. You can have a gut feeling, and we did, that if we could get country radio to play it, it would be a big moment." "Pontoon" was released in April 2012, but it wasn't until the band's performance at CMT awards in June (they performed in an actual boat that had been brought onstage) that the song began to make an impact. "We knew that was going to be a pivotal performance, that it was gonna punch that song to a different level, or it wasn't," Fairchild remembers. "Looking out at our artist friends (in the audience) standing up and starting to sing, I though, Gosh, this song could really be something. The next morning, we got some great feedback and it kind of snowballed. It really started for us that night." By the time "Pontoon" exploded, the band had been together since the late '90s, their story one of almost textbook Nashville hardships: death (Schlapman's husband), divorces (band member Phillip Sweet's, and Fairchild's first marriage), failed label deals and humiliating day jobs. By the time "Tornado," the band's fifth studio disc and the birthplace of "Pontoon," was released, Little Big Town had earned a comfortable berth as one of country music's more reliable makers of modest hits, their albums solid mixes of bluegrass harmonies and poppy melodies, "though we do love things that have a little bit of grit and swampiness, that feel a little raw and dirty as well." It took almost a decade and a half for the band to land its first truly outsized hit, but Fairchild feels lucky merely to have survived that long. Having their first blockbuster mid-career means "it's sweeter now," she says. "There's a lot to navigate as a new artist … knowing whose advice you should take and whose you should not take. How can you know the scope of it? You can make a decision that dictates that you only get to make one record or a couple of singles, maybe you make a wrong choice on a song. It's just sad to think that someone who has a gift to share, that it can be over so quickly." "Tornado" seems to have an infinite number of potential singles, including "Your Side of the Bed," a mournful and intimate song about the dissolution of a relationship, sung George-and-Tammy-style by Fairchild and Westbrook. Because the more famous Little Big Town gets the more fans feel as if they personally know the band's members, the song has caused no end of concern. "Some of the fans are like, 'Is this song about y'all?'" Fairchild says. "We didn't write it from our perspective. It's funny, in the live show they'll yell, 'Kiss her! Kiss her!' It's like they get worried." Little Big Town are already "headlong into the process" of making a new album, though they must first finish the winter leg of their tour with Urban, with whom the band has toured and collaborated for years. "We went on the first arena tour Keith ever did," Fairchild says. "It was a real exciting time. He's got such a beautiful family and we love his crew and his band." The group sometimes hangs out with Urban and wife Nicole Kidman, Fairchild says, though they mostly run into each other backstage at catering. That Little Big Town may be headlining arenas themselves next time isn't lost on them, but they're trying not to think about it too much. "We know how to appreciate (things), and we know how hard we've worked to get here," says Fairchild. "We try to really soak it in and be in the moment, because it might not always be here."

[url]http://jimcolyer.com/papers/entry?id=463;fa=4[/url] The theory that our universe may be one of an infinite number of universes has gained popularity. The idea was put forth by Alan Guth (gooth) at Sanford University in 1979. Two Russian cosmologists, Andrei Linde and Alexander Vilenkin, also take the theory seriously. According to multiverse theory, there are countless Big Bangs before and after ours. New universes are always coming into existence. Big Bangs are caused by "repulsive gravity" as energy and space-time move outward. Expansion begins with inflation, a period during which universes expand faster than light. If we could turn off all stars and galaxies, we would see a sea of radiation left over from our own Big Bang. In fact, the COBE and WMAP spacecrafts have detected and mapped this cosmic background radiation. Alan Guth put the multiverse idea on the shelf for a while. Linde continued to publish. Multiverse proponents contend that "eternal inflation" and dark energy point to a multiverse. Each universe has a different value of dark energy. String theory, too, lends credence to a multiverse. String theory suggests that there may be more dimensions than height, width and depth. At least that is what Guth and Linde think. There may be exact duplicates of ourselves in parallel universes. Naturally, there are scoffers, scientists who believe the multiverse is science fiction. Still, there are those who think the multiverse may be the next Copernican Revolution. Max Tegmark is a Swedish cosmologist at MIT. He thinks there are at least 4 different kinds of parallel universes and has published articles about them. High-level physics can be pretty speculative.
