...Bone (real name: Joseph Henry) releases this week the first products from DMZ Records, a boutique label that plans to ignore every bit of conventional record-industry sales wisdom. DMZ's first two releases, both Burnett productions, are the Louisiana-laden sound track to Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood and a new album--the 186th--from mountain-soul legend and O Brother featured player Ralph Stanley. There will be no large promotional budgets, no appeals to commercial radio. Burnett is convinced these records will sell: "People are much more sophisticated and cultured than they've ever been...
...would like to say that I am happy to have joined this fun though slightly weird e-mail group (though all e-mail is probably weird in some way). Though I might not check in as often as everyone else, I will try to make my messages memorable. See ya, Ned, a.k.a. the tall blonde freshman.” As I look back and try to make sense of the last four years, that message is more prescient than I usually give myself credit for.

When Sidalee Walker (Bullock) is sent her mother’s diary, whom she has distanced from, she becomes increasingly drawn to her heritage—her mother’s exploits with her “Ya-Ya Sisters” in the 30’s South. What ensues is a flashback-filled romp through the land of womanhood, sisterly love, and the divine secrets of Sandra Bullock?...
...replaced with McKinney - couldn't have sold sexuality, with all its lures, all its destructiveness, the way Nina did. Before deserting Zeke for the last time, Chick douses his suspicions of her infidelity by walking toward him and purring, "Let cha baby sit on yo' lap and make ya feel so good." She takes a heavy breath before the word "feel", which she gives an extra erotic syllable. She perches on him, humming him senseless with "St. Louis Woman," then sashays off for her rendezvous with comeuppance. At her death, her huge eyes still glow, as if she were...
