         <title>Want some more Jonas Brothers?</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Well, get prepared for 3-D Jonas Bothers next year: Disney's planning a 3-D movie featuring footage from their upcoming "Burning Up" tour.</p>

<p>The 3-D arena isn't new to the group. After all, they appeared in Miley Cyrus' 3-D concert film earlier this year.</p>

<p>Here's my question: Do you get special Jonas Brothers-emblazoned glasses to take home after the event?</p>

<p>Do you get a themed pillow should the 3-D experience prove to make you faint?</p>

<p>From an Associated Press notice on the story: </p>

<blockquote>In a statement, brothers Kevin, Joe and Nick said: "We can't wait to start working on this film for our fans. It's going to be awesome and we really want to bring a totally unique and different movie experience to everyone whether they've seen us live or not."</blockquote>

<p>So, I guess I was woefully incorrect in my extreme feeling that 3-D movies are just a fad.</p>

<p>How do you think the Jonas Brothers' movie will be?</p>

<p>The boys are playing at Wango Tango in Irvine on May 10, and will be back in Irvine on July 12. For more concert info, check <a href="http://www.jonasbrothers.com/site.php">their site</a>.</p>]]></description>

         <title>The end of the festivals</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Whew, I am finally back from two long weekends in the desert for Coachella and Stagecoach, but I am leaving again today. </p>

<p>Thank you so much for following our coverage and commenting. It's been a crazy couple of weekends. </p>

<p>If you missed it, just scroll down.</p>

<p>I'm going to be out of town this week for family things, including my sister's college graduation.</p>

<p>I have a few tidbits I'm pre-writing to keep you entertained while I'm gone, but I'll be back and up to full blogging force on May 12.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Murphey misses CD signing</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Michael Martin Murphey won the affection of his audience in an hourlong solo set that included his signature song, "Wildfire." Then he lost a little of it by failing to show up to a scheduled autograph session.</p>

<p>It was supposed to be at 7:30 p.m., a half-hour after he finished at the Mustang Stage. At 8 p.m., the staff at the Borders booth turned away a dwindling line of 30 people, offering them refunds on their CD purchases.</p>

         <title>Big &amp; Rich bring out a special guest</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>During Big & Rich's "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy," they broke it down to invite the "pint-sized member of the music mafia" and introduced Two-Foot Fred, while they sang Justin Timberlake's "Sexyback."</p>

<p>Fred had a message for the fans about Big & Rich:</p>

<p>"These guys rock!"</p>]]></description>

         <title>Best cover song</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Big & Rich take the award for best cover song. </p>

<p>They're performing a Western swing cover of AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long."</p>

<p>Bucky Covington, this is how you do a cover!</p>

<p>And they've got the crowd singing one final chorus. </p>

<p>Kudos to you Big & Rich, you guys are working the crowd.</p>

<p>"Looks like 50,000 people out there shaking to me, John," "Big" Kenny Alphin said to John Rich.</p>

<p>We haven't gotten the official tally today, but there were 35,000 people here Friday and 35,000 people here today, according to the festival's publicists. </p>

<p>We are still waiting on Coachella numbers.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Spreading the love</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>John Rich of Big & Rich took the time to give a shout out to friend Gretchen Wilson and to "the best man in country music," Trace Atkins.</p>

<p>Half-way through his set he became much more recognizable, switching out a University of Texas Longhorn hat for the black cowboy hat fans know and love.</p>]]></description>

         <title>I just saw Carrie!</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>I was wandering around the backstage area when I ended up in this line and then I realized Carrie Underwood's trailer wasn't too far away and that she was going to get in this van standing right in front of me.</p>

<p>So about 15 minutes later she walked by, stopping to take a few photos with little kids and security kept pushing us to the fence.</p>

<p>Then she got in a van and presumably went backstage.</p>

<p>The artist compound is pretty cool. Everyone has a brightly colored homemade sign saying which trailer they're in.</p>

<p>Crazy cameraphone photo to follow soon.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Gretchen Wilson rocks out</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Gretchen WIlson has been sounding great on the Mane Stage, playing hits like "Here For the Party" and "Homewrecker."</p>

<p>She also played a new song, "Growin' Up Down South," off the album she is currently recording. Her fourth effort is due in September.</p>

<p>What strikes me as odd, though, is that while she sounds totally on, she's not really dynamic on stage and at least on the big screen, she looks a little tired.</p>

<p>My favorite part of her set was the rock cover break (because everyone does a cover at Stagecoach) when she asked the audience "Are you ready to rock and roll out there?"</p>

<p>She covered Journey's "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" and man, Journey should have hired her to replace Steve Perry. Not only did she sound awesome, but her hair is way better than the mullet Steve was rockin' in the 1980s. </p>

<p>Then she did Heart's "Barracuda." </p>

<p>As my colleague Fielding Buck noted--"Guitar Hero" has really changed the landscape of music.</p>

<p>Wilson is closing with her breakthrough hit "Redneck Woman" and is getting the crowd to sing along with the chorus.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Trace Adkins&apos; Bible lesson</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Towards the end of his set, Trace Adkins started talking about his videos and how he showed his mother the one he did for "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" before it came out.</p>

<p>He said that she told him, "I think I'm gonna have to change churches now."</p>

<p>He told her that it would answer the biblical question of "How do you think Eve got Adam to eat the apple?"</p>

<p>I think Sunday school teachers in the audience might have have cringed at that one.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Stagecoach suggestions, from fans</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>I ran into Sandi LaPlaca of Yucca Valley over at Karista Smith's set and she had a recommendation for Stagecoach organizers--free shuttles to the parking lots. She said she wouldn't even mind paying for parking if there were shuttles.</p>

<p>There are a few bicycle taxis around, some golf carts willing to pick up passengers and an odd kiddie-like train called the "Western Express," but no formal shuttle.</p>

<p>A number of fans have mentioned that to me over the weekend, especially with the festival drawing older fans and people with young children.</p>

<p>And believe me, the hike to and from the parking lot is my least favorite part of the day.</p>

<p>What if they had people park at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden and did shuttles over here?</p>]]></description>
