  • Emmylou Harris has nice things to say about Neil Young in a CMT.com interview focusing on her new box set, Songbird: Rare Tracks & Forgotten Gems: "You've got the great giants like Neil Young who couldn't care less about how many records he's sold, but he's had such incredible success that he's been given carte blanche to do whatever he wants. I don't believe he takes that lightly, but he waits until he has a real idea, and he's truly inspired, before he goes in. He's kind of my hero."

  • And speaking of Neil Young, anyone purchasing tickets to his tour that begins October 18 in Boise, Idaho, through Ticketmaster will receive a free digital copy of his upcoming Chrome Dreams II via Warner Brothers Records' online store.

  • An unusual lineup including Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, and Garth Brooks performed a "Dream Concert" at Radio City Music Hall last night to help raise money for the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation.

  • CMT will obsessively air Carrie Underwood's new "So Small" video for six straight hours today between 6 a.m. and noon (EDT). Or you could catch it once or twice on iTunes beginning later in the day.

  • Opera Chic was at Sunday's "Tribute to Beverly Sills" at Lincoln Center's Metropolitan Opera House. Enjoy her detailed report and extensive fashion commentary: "Among ten speakers and a handful of performances, Sunday night's tribute brought both laughter and tears. Lots of visible young MET singers filled seats, with a packed house and a supremely mixed crowd from casual dress to formal."
