VH1 To Debut 'The Fabulous Life of Mötley Crüe' Next Week

On Wednesday, March 2 at 11:00 p.m. EST, VH1 will debut "The Fabulous Life of Mötley Crüe". An episode description on VH1's web site reads as follows:

"In 1980, Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx, Mick Mars and Vince Neil were just four guys living in a trashy apartment off the Sunset Strip. By 1987, they were rock gods who could afford to trash anything they wanted. From their personalized tour jet to their vintage guitars to their all-access groupies, nothing was off limits to MÖTLEY CRÜE. If you think bling, Gucci and Maybachs are Fab — think again. Meet the four metal maniacs who invented fabulous: MÖTLEY CRÜE.

"When you're a famous rock star, your life is one big world tour. And no one's world was more intense than the CRÜE's. Their stages were powered by 100,000 watts of sound, 11 tons of equipment and 2,000 lights. And their spandex ensembles? They were the custom-designed to be the pants everyone wanted to get into.

"An all-star band needs an all-star ride. When they weren't on the MÖTLEY CRÜE signature jet, they toured in their 1986 Eagle bus — a tricked-out ride with only one rule: female fans had to enter in the nude. An when they weren't cruising the states in their mobile bachelor pad, the boys were riding in black and tan corvettes and customized Harleys.

"The band eventually tired of the Playboy mansion and the hoards of eager groupies, so they headed down the aisle for wedded bliss. Mud wrestler Sharisse Rudell, who married Neil, and 'Baywatch' beauty Donna D'Errico, who wed Sixx, were not your average desperate housewives. And nothing compared to Tommy Lee's rock star wedding to 'Dynasty' diva Heather Locklear, where the groom wore white leather and the bride dressed in a skin-tight mermaid suit.

"In 2005, after two decades and 13 albums, MÖTLEY CRÜE is back and bigger than ever. Prepare yourselves for the tour of the 21st century. From Milwaukee to Manchester and San Juan to San Diego, the 'Red White and Crüe' Tour is going to rock our world stadium-style. And come February, MÖTLEY's signature arena rock will be blasting in every home across the country with the release of their double-disc greatest hits album. The capper? The CRÜE's even hitting the big-screen with a movie version of their best-selling tell-all book 'The Dirt: Confessions of The World's Most Notorious Rock Band'. Get ready for the biggest comeback in rock and roll history. You won't want to miss The Fabulous Life Classic: MÖTLEY CRÜE."

An old couple go to the doctor for their yearly physicals. One at a time the doctor brings them into the examination room, starting with the husband. "Well, Mr. Smith, you're in great shape for a man your age," says the doctor. The man replies, "Well doc, I don't drink, I don't smoke, and the good Lord looks out for me."

"What do you mean?" asks the doctor. The old man replied, "For instance, last night in the middle of the night, I had to get up to go to the bathroom -- and the good Lord turned on the light for me so I wouldn't fall down." And when I left, the good Lord turned the light out for me"

"That's nice," said the confused doctor. "Please send your wife in now, please." The wife comes in and the doc says, "Your husband is in great shape, but I think he is starting to have some delusions"

"What are you talking about?" says the wife.

Your husband was just telling me that he had to get up to go to the bathroom -- and the good Lord turned on the light for him so he wouldn't fall down. And when he left, the good Lord turned the light off for him.

Man o Man

You may have heard in the news that a couple of Post Offices in Texas have been forced to take down small posters that say "IN GOD WE TRUST,"

The law, they say, is being violated.

Anyway, I heard proposed on a radio station show, that we should all write "IN GOD WE 'TRUST" on the back of all our mail. After all, that is our national motto, and it's on all the money we use to buy those stamps. I think it is a wonderful idea.

We must take back our nation from all the people who think that anything that offends them shou ld be removed.

! If you like this idea, please pass it on and DO IT The idea of writing or stamping "IN GOD WE TRUST" on our envelopes sounds good to me.

It has been reported that 86% of Americans believe in God.

Therefore, I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a mess about having "In God We Trust"on our money and having God in the pledge of Allegiance.

Indiana - not India (that is on the other side of the world).

Our winter hasn't been so bad (we are just outside of Chicago - 30-45 minutes away). Been cold, but not in a while - lately about 30 degrees on average for a while.

I know how you feel. When I signed on this morning, I was 20 pages behind.

What happened this weekend.

I scanned it all - but to tell you the truth, I don't remember what I read. It was important at the time, but it must have passed.

Rabbit Farms Multiplying Across the South

MARBURY, Ala. - Rabbit farms are multiplying rapidly across the South, but their products aren't necessarily destined to be sold as Easter bunnies.

The rabbits could soon be on the menu for Easter Sunday or any other day of the week as more people discover the lean, white meat. "It tastes like chicken," said 11-year-old Brady Cox.

"And you can fix it any way chicken can be fixed," added his grandfather, Wayne Powell.

Powell helps his three grandsons run the family's business on their small farm 20 miles north of Montgomery. They started in September with only a few rabbits. Now they have 500.

"They multiply pretty quick," said 13-year-old Houston Powell.

So do rabbit farms.

Even though the farms are cropping up, many Southerners — especially young ones — have never tried rabbit.

Florida Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson and his Alabama counterpart, Ron Sparks, said many older Southerners grew up hunting and eating wild rabbits. But in recent decades, most have considered rabbits as pets, not food.

Attitudes are being changed by Southern chefs who trained in Europe, where rabbit appears regularly on menus, and by tourists and immigrants from countries where rabbits are commercially grown for food.

J.C. Holt, president of the Tri-State Rabbit Producers Association, said the organization began in 2003 with two members. Now it has 248 in Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi.

Rabbit farms in the South are small compared to the large commercial farms in Europe. No matter the size, farmers say the key to making a profit is developing a market.

Getting started takes a small investment — a shed, wire cages and feed. Cages, about 2 feet by 3 feet, are elevated so droppings can fall through and farmers can get a second product — rabbit manure.

Members in the Tri-State Rabbit Producers Association send their rabbits to a processor in Sandy Hook, Miss., every three weeks. From there, the meat goes to cruise lines, high-end restaurants and a few grocery stores.

Wayne Powell took a chance on rabbit farming after getting frustrated with trying to make a profit from cattle. He gets 85 cents a pound for his rabbits and figures it will take 1 1/2 years to recoup his investment and start turning a profit.

Beth Seely, one of the largest rabbit producers in the South, said she got interested when her children received two Easter bunnies in 1985. Her operation — one of about 60 rabbit farms in Florida — has grown so big that she gave up her nursing job in 1995 to devote full time to her new business.

Her 10-acre farm in Dunnellon, Fla., is now home to 600 female rabbits that she breeds and about 5,000 rabbits at any one time. To make sure there is a steady market for her animals, Seely opened her own processing plant that turns out 2,000 to 3,000 rabbits per month from her farm and others.

She also is supplying breeding stock for other farmers looking to duplicate her success.

"The interest in the grower level has grown throughout the South," Seely said.

The next step, officials say, is to promote rabbit as a healthy meat. U.S. Agriculture Department studies show it has less fat and cholesterol than beef, pork or chicken.

"You've got to win over the young generation and show them how healthy it is," Sparks said.
