Ahead on this edition of Ozarks, Roby Brock discusses the final week of campaigning before primary election day and if Judge Chris Piazza's ruling striking down the state's ban on same-sex marriage will have any impact on those races. Plus, a return to a favorite CD from several summers ago; can the music still evoke the same response? And, a report on a multi-million dollar campaign targeting the Southern closet.Senator Pryor and Congressman Cotton visited acres of idle pipeline in Central Arkansas yesterday, and they both issued renewed calls to approve the Keystone XL.

And although three Arkansas counties were issuing marriage certificates this morning to same-sex couples, others were not and instead are waiting on a ruling from the state Supreme Court.
