  • Carrie Underwood digs her key into the side of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive and is lauded for best video, among other achievements, at Monday night's CMT Music Awards.

  • Jazz maverick Ornette Coleman won a Pulitzer Prize for his 2006 album Sound Grammar. No acceptance speech is required, but he would be hard pressed to top his Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award acceptance in February, which began: "It is really very, very real to be here tonight, in relationship to life and death and I'm sure they both love each other." Enjoy the full text of his rather outside remarks here.

  • A sentimental slide show tribute to Hawaiian pop legend Don Ho, who died April 14 at seventy-six.

  • B.B. King, Al Green, and Etta James will play sixteen cities this summer on the B.B. King Blues Festival tour, which begins July 24 in Hollywood, Florida.

  • Former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman is marketing his own brand of metal detector. "Metal-detecting is not just for anoraks or eccentrics," he told NME.com. "It's probably the best and the most enjoyable way of learning about our history."

  • The musically and environmentally correct Green Apple Music and Arts Festival takes place April 20-22 in Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. Free Earth Day (April 22) concerts include Bob Weir and Ratdog at the Speedway Meadow in Golden Gate Park and Umphrey's McGee at Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo.
