tainted by the money-making in
dustries of pop music that want
us to believe everyone should be
bom rich. It is refreshing when
a singer admits openly, as
Loveless said at the concert, “I
am a hillbilly and proud of it.”
From my seat in the front, I
watched as the crowd sang
along. Waves of nostalgia passed
over me. These were the songs I
heard on the radio and tape play
er everyday on the way to
school. My mom used to sing
these songs while she cooked
dinner and I did homework up
stairs. Suddenly I realized I re
ally should have gotten two tick
ets for us to see this show to
gether.
The crowd applauded and
begged for an encore despite the
threatening thunder.
Loveless is no stranger to
fame. Her songs have topped the
country music charts. Songs like
“Timber I’m Falling in Love” and
“I’m That Kind of Girl” are still
crowd favorites.
Riverbanks Botanical Garden
has held outdoor concerts
throughout June. Unfortunately
this Thursday will be the last
chance to enjoy a night of lively
flowers and live music. Critically
acclaimed Latin Jazz artist
Pancho Sanchez will play at the
garden tomorrow at 7 p.m.
So grab your friends and a
blanket tomorrow night and
make your way to the garden.

HOROSCOPES
ARIES Continue to be frugal
with your financial resources.
Use your imagination instead
of your wallet to solve your
dilemma.
TAURUS You may have to just
say “no” to a ridiculous
suggestion. Arguments mean
nothing to you once you’ve
made up your mind. Ignore a
bribe, too. It’s a false promise.
GEMINI The pressure’s on,
You’re being tested not in
class, but in real life. Does
your way of doing things really
work? If not, make corrections.
CANCER Don’t run right out
and spend money that’s
recently come your way. Let it
sit for a while, drawing
interest, while you sort
priorities.
LEO It feels like you aren’t
making progress — more like
you’re just digging a hole. A
strong foundation is
important, though. Take the
time to do it right.
VI RGO If you get your group
well organized, you can gather
the votes you need. The
opposition is fierce, but you
can be much more practical.
LIBRA There sure are an awful
lot of things you’d like to buy.
Some of them might be good
investments, too, but you’d be
wiser to Stand pat.
SCORPIO A person who thinks
he knows everything is in for a
rude awakening. Try to soften
the blow, and protect your
position by breaking the news
gently.
SAGITTARIUS Keep saving
every penny you earn for
renovations to your home.
You’ll be so pleased once you
get it fixed up just the way you
want. First, devise a plan.
CAPRICORN Don’t try to solve
a problem by throwing money
at it. That just won’t work this
time. Instead, give this
problem more of your time and
attention.
AQUARIUS A partner’s “good”
suggestion simply needs a
little work. Don’t agree to do it
till you’ve thought the whole
thing through. That’s a
valuable contribution you can
make to the partnership.
PISCES Love inspires you to
new heights. That part is
wonderful. But if you forget to
do something you promised,
there’ll be consequences.
