So: Lady Antebellum wins five Grammys and sends Eminem home scowling with only two. How did that happen? Here's how: Lady Antebellum is the "Nixonland" candidate; part of the not-so-silent majority; this year's stealth Taylor Swift; the voice of Middle America with a pretty, de-twanged sound that's all about harking back to a "simpler" time.
Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott is engaged. The 25-year-old singer's boyfriend, Chris Tyrell , popped the question over the Fourth of July weekend at a family getaway in East Tennessee.
PETERSBURG - In conjunction with Friday for the Arts!, The Petersburg Department of Tourism, Museum and Visitor Services will sponsor a presentation on "Antebellum Architecture in Petersburg" by Dawn Holmes, site manager of the Visitor Centers. This free event will take place on July 8 at Centre Hill Museum, 1 Centre Hill Ave. at 7 p.m. Prior to the Civil War, Petersburg was considered to be a very cosmopolitan city with a population of approximately 18,000 in 1860. The City was the second largest in Virginia and was a thriving manufacturing and mercantile center. Because of this prosperity, many of the antebellum structures (built before the Civil War) were built in the lavish architectural styles of the times - Federal, Greek-Revival, Italianate ... Several examples of these beautif...
Canadian indie-rock group Arcade Fire, country trio Lady Antebellum and jazz bassist Esperanza Spalding all pulled off major upsets Sunday night at the 53d annual Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Arcade Fire took home album of the year honors for "The Suburbs," topping favorite Eminem, who led all contenders with 10 nominations but walked away with only two trophies, and who was shut out of the major categories. "Thank you," Arcade Fire's beaming singer Win Butler said, closing the show. "We're going to play another song now, because we love music.
By the beginning of the Civil War, African-American newspapers had become an indispensable ally for African Americans in their struggle for equal rights throughout the United States with at least thirty-eight of these papers printed and distributed throughout the nation and beyond.1 As self-proclaimed reformers, the African-American writers, publishers, and editors of the antebellum black press became the leaders of political mobilization efforts that cut across class, age, and gender, simultaneously fighting against slavery and the social and legal degradation of free blacks everywhere.2 Thus, the founders of the black press created newspapers both of and for black Americans, which were instrumental in black identity formation and in defense of the fundamental rights of African-descend...
LOS ANGELES - Lady Antebellum was the big winner at the Grammys with five awards, including record and song of the year for the band's yearning crossover ballad "Need You Now," but rockers Arcade Fire won Sunday's biggest prize, album of the year, for their highly acclaimed "The Suburbs. Arcade Fire's Win Butler was visibly stunned as the group accepted their trophy and then quickly rushed to perform the last song of the night.
LOS ANGELES - Lady Antebellum's crossover hit, "Need You Now," didn't make it to No. 1 on the pop charts, but it won the 2011 record of the year Grammy. Need You Now" peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart last year. They performed the song last year at the Grammys and again at Sunday's show.
Traditional versions of American literary history associate sentimentalism strongly with antebellum women writers and suggest that the Civil War dealt a severe wound to sentimental tenets.2 Critics generally concur that post-bellum women writers produced a less coherent body of work than did their antebellum counterparts; the former had, to borrow from Richard Brodhead, more points of literary access open to them - although the public's mounting hunger for regional tales increasingly forced their collective hands - and hence a wider and more diverse array of publishing opportunities to choose from. [...] the premise that turn-of-the-century women writers self-consciously styled themselves artists and prioritized form fails to account fully for Gilman.3 If, as Naomi Sofer maintains, Ame...
