Quantcast Vegetarian StarAdjectives To Describe Emmylou Harris: Cheese, Not Bacon Please

Although country music legend Emmylou Harris just released a new album in June, she’s no stranger to the music industry and has been praised by the media-even when the praises weren’t exactly the type she was looking for.

Washington Post music critic Josh Freedom duLac once said: “Emmylou Harris is like bacon. She makes everything better.”

“Well, I don’t know if I like that,” she told Straight.com, “because I’m a vegetarian.”

“How about cheese?” she suggested.  “Let’s say cheese.”

The 61 year old Nashville, TN resident lives with her mother and also runs a dog shelter.

Her latest album, All I Intended To Be, features collaborations with Dolly Parton, Vince Gill, and Kate and Anna McGarrigle.

“It encompasses all the different hats I’ve worn—songwriting, doing covers, working with so many great people,” she said. “In a sense, it was a return to a sound that’s been with me throughout my career.”

    Dear Emmylou and readers, I had a very serious problem arise today. Below is a copy of the info we sent out to our friends and time is running out for these two wounderful dog’s, they have two – three day’s left and we really need an intervention:

    “REALLY, REALLY NEED HELP PLEASE
    Woke up this morning to barking dogs, went to see what all the noise was all about. Found a beautiful white Pit-bull, very well mannered, very friendly, and was really upset running back and forth.
    We heard noises coming from underneath the shed belonging to our neighbor. We looked under the shed and found another Pit-bull jammed between the ground and bottom of the shed. We dug a trench to the dog but still couldn’t get him out. We called 911 to get help, we talked to the Fire dept and Animal control was already called. When animal Control showed up, he told us they do not rescue cats from trees or stuck animals. If the animal is walking around, that is the only way they get involved. After we dug the trench deeper animal control put a noose around the dog’s hind legs and the Fire dept assisted in pulling the Dog to safety. Great job! the dog is safe and well, the only problem now is these 2 beautiful animals will more than likely be put down, because they are Pit bulls. THIS IS WRONG, no one would have helped that poor animal under the shed, and animal control would just leave him to die. We are asking, that if anybody can rescue these dogs from being put down, or if you know somebody who would rescue them or if anyone knows of any dogs missing. Please contact us or contact Clarksville animal control. One is Black and has white spots on his forearms and is a male, the other one is white, and not sure what sex it is. These were someone’s pets. Please keep in mind, these two dogs are either brothers, parents or family and should be rescued together because the white dog would not leave the other dogs side, except to get help and it found us. Whatever you can do, please help, these dogs do not deserve to be put down. Thank you, Marlene and Randy”.

    What’s very sad is we saved the two, just to have them put down. We can not allow this to happen and we could use some serious help in saving these two beautiful dog’s. As I sat on the ground after pulling him out, he just looked in my eyes as to say “thank you”
