The Coal Miner's Daughter Is Going To Broadway
......and it's going to star Zooey Deschanel as Loretta Lynn. I'll wait here while you ask Siri, "WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?"
At a show at the Grand Ole Opry in 1979, Loretta brought Sissy Spacek onstage and announced she handpicked Sissy to play her in the Coal Miner's Daughter. Loretta did the same thing for Zooey at the Ryman Auditorium last night. According to Playbill, Loretta told the audience:
“It’s a long way from Butcher Holler to Broadway in New York City. I never imagined I’d see 'Coal Miner’s Daughter' on a movie screen, and now I can’t believe it’s going to be on a stage for people to see,” said Lynn. “I’m going to be right there in the front row. And I know Zooey is going to be great – she sings and writes her own songs just like I do, and we even have the same color eyes!”
The show has a star, a website and producers, but it doesn't have writers or a director, so it might not even happen. Yeah, I'd rather Loretta Lynn play Loretta Lynn on Broadway (yes, she still can) than a come-to-life Holly Hobbie doll who is too damn lazy to look outside her window to see if it's raining, but I don't have any feelings either way about this. But mostly that's because the only feeling I'm feeling right now is queasiness. It isn't from this news, it's from eating a multi-vitamin with my lunch. See, I try to do something healthy and my body rejects it! I bet this wouldn't have happened if I ate a donut with my lunch. Fuck vitamins!

For a fucking cookbook author, you should fucking know that it's called TEMPERATURE not VOLUME! Jesus, if you are going to lie you crazy death wishing bitch, at least learn how toi lie well.
I am out everyone.
This shit on here the last few days is RIDICULOUS, and I for one am not wasting time trying to read through the shit, to get to the good comments.
Later!
I liked Walk The Line.
Walk the Line was a good movie.
Definitely NOT into this genre of music but even I can appreciate the real country singers like Loretta!

The only thing I know about Zooey is that she was in Elf. Her name reminds me of the zoo. I wonder if she smells?
===========================================
She smells like a wet Elf.

Ok Mr. Porny McPornpants, what does a "wet elf" smell like?
O_o

Someone is sure spending lots of time sucking up today.
Are you referencing me, Evil Cupcake?
Really? *Turns oven volume up to eleven*
You and your gang here are just silly. Really.
Loretta Vs. Dolly brawl!
My Dad raised us on the old time country music. Like Whamo said, you cannot compare it to what is out there today. Most of today's country music is "countrified rock"
I still listen to the old greats like Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Dolly, Hank Snow etc. These music stars lived the songs they sang and they lived hard.

My mom used to listen to Loretta Lynn when I was a kid... and would sing extremely off key... I think that is why I can't stand her. lol

Jack, this was also during her Glen Campbell hair-cutting phase while drinking, I assume? ;)

Yup. I grew up on the dirt roads of MS... it was considered the "norm".

LOVE old Merle Haggard. Ray LaMontagne sang "Mama Tried" in concert last summer and I had lady wood for days.

Correct me if I'm wrong (and, no, I didn't GOOGLE), didn't Sissy sing some of the songs in the movie, "Coal Miner's Daughter" all on her lonesome?
===============================================
I believe she sang all of her songs actually

Maybe it'll be cursed with accidents like the Spiderman musical. That's the best we can hope for.
Or even better, the set of "The Crow".
I take that back. That was too harsh.

Bye Zomay...haz fun!
Sorry. Dolly Parton all the way for the Country Music vocals.

Loretta Lynn has that great REAL country music singing voice. She sings country the way it's suppose to be sung. Most of these new country singers are nothing more that pop stars with black hats and cowboy boots that haven't seen anything but pavement and tile floors. They throw in steel slide guitar to make the kids think its country.
I'm not big on country but I do like some of the old time country guys and gals if I am going to listen to it. I do like Merle Haggard though, love his songs about rough times, drinkin, chasing women and all the heartbreak the world can hand a good man.

Sissy Spacek was wonderful in Coal Miner's Daughter. The twang, the singing... She's a great actress.
^^This^^
I can not fucking stand Zooey's OhmygodI'msonerdyandquirkylookhowcuteIam!!!!!!!!! shtick.
----------------------------------------------------
My obsessive fascination is in your imagination.
Zooey is on my husband's Top 5 list. I'm ok with that, I think she's adorable.
OMG I f'ing love the movie Coal Miner's Daughter.
"Cause I'm proud of ya when you sing, Lo-retta!"
"Oh quitcher growlin'! Ya sound like a big ol' baaaar!"
"Hell's Bells, Loretta. You think this is somethin' the rest of the world ain't caught onto yet?"
Sissy Spacek was wonderful in Coal Miner's Daughter. The twang, the singing... She's a great actress.
She played the sister in Almost Famous......and I loves Loretta.
DOO! Doolittle Lynn!
You ain't woman enough to take mah man!

I've got ten bucks and me and dirty eddie are staying out all weekend! - Rob Pue (thank you BBitch and Sweetas)
The difficult brown?! I think we're all done here. -MK
I use to think Zooey was really really cute but over the past couple of weeks with that mustache shot we had here and a few "bad light" shots I've changed my mind and put her to the bottom of the 'to do" list. I'm not going to take her off of course BUT to the bottom it is.
I think she truly has a nice voice though.
I love Loretta Lynn!! If you haven't listened to "Fist City", please do so. She is the OG.
Okay everyone have a great weekend. My plans include flirting and touching the new guy who makes feel like a 13 year-old in Jr high...
:D
Peace

Ok, I think Loretta Lynn sucks and she looks like she comes from an inbred, completely backwooded life which I know she did but with all the money she made, she couldn't have lost "the look"?
*hides*

Your posts! :))
The first thing I ever saw Zooey in was "The New Guy" followed by "Elf", "Failure to Launch", "Yes Man" and "Our Idiot Brother".
Not counting her guest appearances on "Bones".
I'm throwing this bitch on the pile with Betty White and Jon Hamm and Paul Rudd.
I LIKE YOU BUT GET OUT OF MY FACE, I'M SICK OF YOU.
ETA: Zooey, not Loretta. Loretta can stay.
Sorry, zomay. I had this week off and between writing my next cookbook and blogging here, I'm just chilling (with my ten cats...psyche! only one little furry fucker).
