Johnny Lee – Cherokee Fiddle
When the train pulled into the stationRolled up his sleeves, rosined up his bowFiddle upside down, orange blossom special‘Cause if you want to make a living you got to put on a good show
When he’d smell the smoke and the cindersSlick back his hair, opened up his casePlay Cherokee Fiddle, he’d play it for the whiskey‘Cause good whiskey never let him lose his place
He was always there, playing for the minersDevil’s dream was a song they understoodThen he’d go out to OklahomaAnd he’d wait till the train was running and the weather was good
When he’d smell the smoke and the cindersHe’d slick back his hair, opened up his casePlay Cherokee Fiddle, he’d play it for the whiskey‘Cause good whiskey never let him lose his place
Now the Indians are dressing up like cowboysAnd the cowboys are putting leather and turquoise onAnd the music is sold by lawyersAnd the fools who fiddled in the middle of the station have gone
Some folks say they ain’t never gonna miss himOld Fiddle squealed like the engines brakesCherokee Fiddle, he’s gone foreverJust like the music of the whistle that the old locomotives made
So when you smell the smoke and the cindersJust slick back your hair, open up your casePlay the Cherokee Fiddle, play it for the whiskey‘Cause good whiskey will never let you lose your placeNo, good whiskey will never let you lose your placeNo, good whiskey will never let you lose your place

Mayor Turner’s Statement on FHWA and TXDOT Agreement on the I-45 North Houston Highway Improvement Project

Image
Following this morning’s major news from the Federal Highway Administration and the Texas Department of Transportation, FHWA and TXDOT Sign Agreement to Allow I-45 North Houston Highway Improvement Project to Move Forward | FHWA, the City of Houston has released the following statement:

Mayor Turner has repeatedly stated that the North Houston Highway Improvement Project (NHHIP) is a potentially transformative project with the chance to chart a new course for transportation in the region. This was the foundation for the Memorandum of Understandings between the City and Harris County, and TxDOT and is now further memorialized by the Voluntary Resolution Agreement (VRA) between the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), including key topics that echo between the agreements:

  • Potential for Footprint Reduction
  • Displacements, Relocations, Housing and Community Mitigation
  • Flooding Mitigation
  • Air Quality Mitigation
  • Potential Green Space Caps
  • Parks, Open Space, Trails, and Bike/Ped Enhancements
  •  Access During Construction
  • Continued Multilingual Community Outreach

“After years of negotiations, the North Houston Highway Improvement Project can now be the project Houston deserves it to be,” said Mayor Sylvester Turner. “A project that addresses I-45’s repeated flooding while maximizing the opportunities for people to stay in their homes and neighborhoods. It is a project that helps people and goods travel through the region while encouraging people to travel between our neighborhoods without impacting them. A project that can help knit back together our downtown and improve the air we all breathe. I thank the many project partners and stakeholders that have brought us to the point, including FHWA, TxDOT, Harris County, METRO, and especially our residents.”

The mitigation measures for the topics identified in the VRA are now a component of the NHHIP environmental review process, with status and weight equal to the Final Environmental Impact Statement and Record of Decision, coupled with enforceability measures and monitoring and reporting requirements.
With the execution of the MOUs and the VRA, the City of Houston is prepared to reengage TxDOT on all segments of NHHIP, restart robust engagement, and see the NHHIP project move from two decades of planning to successful completion.

How Much Did Chris Rock Get Paid for His Netflix Special?

How Much Did Chris Rock Get Paid for His Netflix Special?

It’s no secret that Netflix has been betting big on stand-up comedy. But this weekend marked a landmark moment for the streaming platform with its first-ever live streamed event, which could mean big things for its future in comedy.

Chris Rock’s comedy special Chris Rock: Selective Outrage aired on Netflix Saturday evening, bookended with star-studded pre and post-show specials featuring the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, David Spade, Amy Schumer, and more. This event also doubled as the first time the veteran comedian addressed his infamous slap from Will Smith at the 2022 Oscars.

According to a 2016 report from The Hollywood Reporter, Rock’s Saturday special was part of a $40 million deal he made with Netflix for two stand-up specials. Though Netflix has not confirmed the amount Rock was paid per deal, THR wrote at the time, “The $20 million per special is believed to be more than such A-list comedians as Louis C.K., Jerry Seinfeld and Amy Schumer have commanded.”

Selective Outrage comes almost five years after Rock’s first Netflix comedy special, Chris Rock: Tamborine. The deal was reportedly made following a big bidding war and marked the end of Rock’s previous long-term partnership with HBO.

Considering the stacked roster of comedians who appeared in the pre and post-shows, that night of comedy probably racked up to be a lot more than just $20 million.

Rock spent the hour-long special talking about woke culture, his relationship with his daughters and what it’s like dating as a single father. But he did not hold back when it came to talking about Smith, who slapped him across the face on live television while he was presenting at last year’s Oscars.

The comedian placed much of the blame on Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith.

“She hurt him WAY more than he hurt me … everybody called him a bitch. And who’s he hit? Me!” he joked in his special.

Live streaming events may be a valuable market for Netflix to break into, but it’s worth asking if Selective Outrage is actually worth the alleged $20 million price tag.
