By the late 1950s, Willie Nelson was traveling from his home in Pasadena, Texas to perform at the Esquire Ballroom in Houston and used his commute time to write songs for his label D Records. During one of his weeks of commuting, Nelson penned three hit songs, including “Crazy,” which became a hit for Patsy Cline in 1961, and “Night Life.” At first, “Night Life” was rejected by D Records’ owner Pappy Daily for not being country enough, so Nelson recorded it as “Nite Life” and under another name. “They wouldn’t record it because they said it was too bluesy,” said Nelson in 2019. “It wasn’t country. So I recorded ‘Night Life’ under the name of Hugh Nelson on another label across town just to prove a point. … I think it’s still the best record of it. I did it with Paul Buskirk, Herb Remington, Dean Reynolds—some of the greatest jazz musicians around Houston.” The third song Nelson wrote during this week would eventually recorded by Elvis Presley a decade later. Videos by American Songwriter “In one week I wrote ‘Crazy,’ ‘Funny How Time Slips Away’ and ‘Night Life,’” said Nelson. “That’s when I decided maybe to go to Nashville,” Nelson said. “So I took off to Nashville in my ’46 Buick and went immediately to a place called Tutu’s Orchid Lounge, where I had heard was the spot to be if you want to find some songwriters. And, sure enough, it was the great spot to be.” Nelson added “I wish I had known then what [the songs] were going to do. Maybe it’s better that I didn’t—made enough mistakes as it was. I had no idea that these songs would be as successful as they have been.” [RELATED: 6 Songs Willie Nelson Wrote That Were Made Famous by Other Artists] Billy Walker Country singer Billy Walker, later known for his hit “Charlie’s Shoes,” was the first to record “Funny How Time Slips Away.” Walker took the song to No. 23 on the Hot Country & Western (Hot Country Songs) chart. Nelson also recorded his version of the song for his 1962 debut …And Then I Wrote , which also featured his version of “Crazy.” The Meaning Nelson’s lyrics run through the sadness of the passing of time—of people, places, things, and memories. Well, hello thereWhy, it’s been a long long time, thank you very muchAnd how am i doing?Oh, i guess that I’m doing fineIt’s been so long nowBut it seems nowThat it was only yesterdayGee, ain’t it funny?How time just slips awayAnd how’s your new love?Well, I hope that he’s doing fineAnd i heard you told himThat you’d love him ’til the end of timeAnd that’s the same thingThat you told me ‘Elvis Country’ Presley later recorded “Funny How Time Slips Away” for his 13th album  Elvis Country (I’m 10,000 Years Old) . Elvis Country , which featured the lead single “I Really Don’t Want to Know” and “There Goes My Everything,” peaked at No. 12 on the  Billboard  200. Al Green Though “Funny How Time Slips Away” was covered by Presley, along with dozens of artists, including B.B. King, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Wanda Jackson, Bryan Ferry, and Reba McEntire, it was Al Green’s 1973 version from his Call Me , that turned Nelson’s lovelorn lyrics into a smoldering ballad: I gotta go now / Guess I’ll see you hanging round / Don’t know when though, oh, no / Never know when I’ll be back in town / But I remember what I told you / That in time you’re gonna pay.   In 1994, Green later released another version of the song with Lyle Lovett on the 1994 compilation album Rhythm, Country and Blues , which earned him a Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals.

Taylor Swift had quite the reaction when called out by 2024 Golden Globes host Jo Koy. The comedian made a joke during the Jan. 7 telecast held at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles that poked fun at the NFL’s love for the singer during her appearances at Kansas City Chiefs games. “The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL? At the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift,” Koy said, as the camera panned over to Swift who made a face and took a sip of her Champagne. Swift attended the Globes ceremony in a custom Gucci and De Beers jewelry. The singer’s concert film, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” received a Golden Globes nomination for cinematic and box office achievement. The category is one of two new categories added to this year’s awards show. This wasn’t Swift’s first Golden Globes nomination. She was last nominated in 2023 for best original song, but was not in attendance. Before the singer made her way through the red carpet, people were wondering if she would be at the Globes or at the Chiefs game on Sunday. Swift had attended five Chiefs games in a row — and Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers happened to be in California. While Kelce’s team had a game, the athlete was designated inactive while the Chiefs gear up for the NFL playoffs. The 2024 Golden Globes are airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.

Jurgen Klopp has insisted there is still plenty more to come from Darwin Nunez, claiming he is actually “a bit afraid” of the striker’s immense potential.

After enduring a mixed first season at Anfield, the Uruguayan is now starting to show the sort of form that convinced Liverpool to pay a fee potentially rising to £85 million to snare him from Benfica last summer.

He has scored seven goals and provided five assists in 14 outings across all competitions thus far, while also showing major improvement in terms of his defensive work and contribution to build-up.

But when asked if Reds supporters are now seeing the best of their No. 9, Klopp replied: “Of course not, but it’s completely different now.

“The first year was hard for him, and then hard for me as well because you see this incredible talent, massive potential, but it’s difficult to unfold it.

“I’m obviously a manager who can help a player but I need contact for that. In an ideal world, you can speed up the process by talking a lot with the player.

“I was not able to do that because I don’t speak Spanish, but his English is now much better and my Spanish still isn’t.

“[He’s] settled in the team, when you see him around the building here, everything is different. He’s in a very good moment and it’s still only the start for him.

“He’s in a good moment and long may it continue, hopefully it will continue like that forever. I’m a bit afraid of the highs he could reach because there is so much there, it’s crazy.

“Now we’ve found the real starting moment and let’s work from here.”

As well as crediting Nunez’s improved English, Klopp also spoke up the importance of having an additional on-pitch translator in Alexis Mac Allister.

He added: “The football English is not complicated, we don’t have to speak about everything in life, but the football communication is now possible which is absolutely helpful.

“And, of course, we have an extra on-field player; so far it was always Ali as the translator, now we have Macca and they are really close

“And Macca is a super smart footballer so if I forget to tell him something Macca tells him anyway.

“Strikers need to know where to go when midfielders have the ball and that’s the stuff you talk to players about.

“In an ideal world the players talk to each other as well about it and Macca is super helpful.

“Lucho’s English is also getting better and they are very close as well and that’s how it is.

“There’s just not a specific amount of time, for each individual it’s different, to really arrive, but who cares? It’s done now and that’s good.”

Maine Democrat Official Can’t Help But Smile on Anti-Trump Media Victory Lap After Singlehandedly Removing 45 from Ballot Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows appeared quite proud of her decision Thursday to remove former President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot. Bellows appeared on MSNBC’s “All In” immediately after issuing her ruling saying, “I am duty-bound to make this determination. We also, I rather, lay out that the record demonstrates that in fact the events of January 6, 2021, which were unprecedented and tragic, were an insurrection in the meaning of section 3 the 14th Amendment.” The provision states that anyone who has sworn an oath to the Constitution and then “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof” is ineligible for office. It was adopted after the Civil War as a way to bar from office those who fought for or materially supported the Confederacy. Bellows — who formerly served as executive director of the left-wing American Civil Liberties Union in Maine and was a Joe Biden elector in 2020 — further justified her decision to bar Trump from the ballot explaining, “Under the law there’s a very compressed timeline in evaluating this, I came to the conclusion that I could not, unfortunately or fortunately, wait for the United States Supreme Court to make a decision. The Maine law required me to issue that decision.” Democrat Shenna Bellows explains that she personally decided that Trump was guilty of engaging in an insurrection. So she unilaterally removed the leading Republican presidential candidate from Maine’s ballot. She gleefully tells MSDNC “I could not, unfortunately—or… pic.twitter.com/jPpmaxx9yr — KanekoaTheGreat (@KanekoaTheGreat) December 29, 2023 During the course of the interview, Bellows broke out into a big smile when “All In” guest host Jason Johnson asked her about the voter turnout out in Maine. “How do you get such high turnout in the state among all sorts of political partisans?” he asked. “I smile because we were No. 1 in voter turnout per capita in 2022,” Bellows answered. “We have same-day voter registration. We have no excuse absentee voting up to 30 days prior to Election Day. We make it really easy to register to vote, to cast your ballot and know your ballot will be counted,” she added, still with all smiles. “We’re really proud of our national leadership in voter participation,” Bellows said. View this post on Instagram Bellows clearly places a high premium on voter participation. Let’s just hope that also includes the same level of concern about voter integrity. In a Thursday news release, the Maine Secretary of State’s office made much of a “hearing” Bellows presided over on December 15 as some kind of proof her unilateral decision involved some level of due process for Trump. “Mr. Trump’s occasional requests that rioters be peaceful and support law enforcement do not immunize his actions. A brief call to obey the law does not erase conduct over the course of months, culminating in his speech on the Ellipse,” Bellows wrote in her decision. “I am mindful that no Secretary of State has ever deprived a presidential candidate of ballot access based on Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment. I am also mindful, however, that no presidential candidate has ever before engaged in insurrection,” she concluded. Trump hasn’t been convicted or even charged with engaging in an “insurrection,” and there can be little doubt that special counsel Jack Smith would have brought such charges if he felt he could get a conviction. It is a violation of federal law to engage in a rebellion or insurrection, with a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. Smith’s election interference case alleges that Trump made false statements about the integrity of the 2020 election, which led to the Capitol incursion, as if the participants were not independent actors who could have had their own concerns about the election. On Jan. 6, 2021 in his Ellipse speech, Trump encouraged his supporters to “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” Doesn’t sound like much of a rebellion or insurrection to me. Could you imagine if William Wallace attempted to rally the Scots with that line? Following the speech, Trump reiterated online that he did not support violence. The vast majority of the protesters did just what he said. A relative few engaged in violence, but it should be noted that none of them fired any shots or has even been charged with taking a gun into the Capitol. None of the Jan. 6 defendants has been charged with insurrection, either. The only shot fired that day was by Capitol Police officer Michael Byrd, who killed unarmed protester Ashli Babbitt. By contrast, during the Civil War, millions of shots were fired and hundreds of thousands died. That was an actual insurrection against the federal government. Former George W. Bush White House press secretary Ari Fleischer suggested it’s Bellows and other Democrats trying to keep Trump off the ballot who are engaging in an insurrection. “Make no mistake: Attempts to throw Trump off the ballot are white-collar insurrections, carried out by Democrats in powerful positions, who falsely use the ‘law’ as a weapon,” he posted on X on Friday. “They fear a vote of the people, so they resort to this. This is an insurrection,” Fleischer added.

They fear a vote of the people, so they resort to this. This is an insurrection. — Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) December 29, 2023 Similarly, Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins, no cheerleader for Trump by any stretch, responded to Bellows decision, “Maine voters should decide who wins the election – not a Secretary of State chosen by the Legislature.” Maine voters should decide who wins the election – not a Secretary of State chosen by the Legislature. The Secretary of State’s decision would deny thousands of Mainers the opportunity to vote for the candidate of their choice, and it should be overturned. — Sen. Susan Collins (@SenatorCollins) December 29, 2023 “The Secretary of State’s decision would deny thousands of Mainers the opportunity to vote for the candidate of their choice, and it should be overturned,” Collins continued. It’s now up to the U.S. Supreme Court to right this wrong. Hopefully, they will do so unanimously. Truth and Accuracy We are committed to truth and accuracy in all of our journalism.
