Ozarks At Large

Latest Edition of Ozarks at Large

Monday, January 13, 2014
Ahead on this edition of Ozarks, Springdale claims the lead in job creation for Arkansas, plus a story of moving from small-town Arkansas to post-punk fame: this week’s edition of Arkansongs highlights the career of Beth Ditto…and in about six minutes, an update on the rollout of the Affordable Care Act in Arkansas now that the calendar has turned.
Prior to playing the Ozark Mountain Music Fest, the band SX Rex stopped by our studio and played a few songs. Here is their original song "Am I Coming Through?".
Here is the list of clips for our Denver/Colorado montage. We'll have Seattle next week. 1. Ho Hey by Colorado-based band The Lumineers. 2. Robin Williams, as Mork, introduces himself to Boulder, Colorado (where the show was set). 3. Earth, Wind and Fire (with three Colorado natives) sings Boogie Wonderland. 4. Jack Nicholson crashes through in The Shining (at a Colorado hotel). 5. Voices from South Park, Colorado. 6. The song Colorado, My Home from the Broadway musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown. 7. Joan Collins and Linda Evans meet for the first time on the Denver-based soap opera Dynasty. 8. A 1970s commercial for Coors. 9. Colorado native Ralph Edwards surprises yet another celebrity on This is Your Life. 10. John Denver with Rocky Mountain High. Of course. Apologies to: Lon Chaney and Douglas Fairbanks (how do you get silent stars into an audio montage?) and Hattie McDaniel.
Legislators yesterday heard about the progress of the Private Option rollout in the state, while Governor Mike Beebe offered his thoughts on consequences to the state's budget if the legislature decides to gut the program in the coming fiscal session.
