...broke out of the race-music ghetto into the rock mainstream, Charles always seemed older. He came to fame grown-up. The hillbilly contingent of proto-rock - Elvis and Carl Perkins and Gene Vincent and Buddy Holly, all long gone - seemed like slick teenagers busting with musical testosterone. They sang with green urgency about what they wanted to do. Charles sang about what he?d been through.

...movie musical about the master tunesmith's complex relationship with his wife, muse and taskmistress, LINDA LEE PORTER, played by ASHLEY JUDD. Kline--who has experience with sexually ambiguous characters from 1997's In & Out--portrays the composer as a "lover of wine, men and song," he says.

...DIED. KU SANG, 85, one of Korea's most revered poets, who was hounded by authoritarian regimes on both sides of the divided peninsula; in Seoul. Ku's family moved to the north from Seoul when he was a boy, but after the communist takeover, officials deemed his writing "ideologically flawed," and he was forced to flee southward in 1947. In the early '50s, he was imprisoned for eight months by the South Korean regime for criticizing its abuses of power...
