An Aussie bloke would never become absorbed by fame and fortune. Would he? Despite Keith Urban dropping out of school to pursue his dreams of playing the guitar on giant stages across the US, making millions of dollars, earning almost every country music award in the books, and marrying another celebrity superstar, many believe
Trapped - Original Writing It is two 0’clock in the dark misty night and the Mitchell family are on their way to fun land resort in Mexico City. It has been a stressful journey for the family of three towards Fun Land. Crossing the border into Mexico the car has been put to a halt. “Hello sir, can you open the trunk to your car please?” asked the smartly dressed inspector.

Although fame and being in the spotlight may seem like it’s all fun and games, when a celebrity starts doing bad things, those things spread like wild fire.

All the privacy that you once had is now gone. You represent that nation to other countries and how we as Americans are suppose to be acting. All the bad things that our celebrities do, other
Not having been to many concerts in my life, I did not know what to expect when I went to see Lynyrd Skynyrd in concert recently.

for having their hair too long. They were originally going to go call it Leonard Skinnerd but then changed to to the more distinctive spelling to what it is now. Here are some of the names of the people that are and were in the lynyrd skynyrd band, Ronnie Van Zant originally wanted to play baseball but ended up as a singer,
Growing up I remember my mom turning the music up whenever she heard a good song. The only genre, she listened to was country so I grew up loving country music. I now turn the music up whenever I hear a song Luke Bryan wrote because his music is so good. Growing up Luke Bryan was a normal child, but over the 20 or more years, so many devastating things have happened to his family that are hard for Bryan and his family to get over. As a kid Luke Bryan was just a normal child. Thomas Luther Bryan
