pdog This Sucks!!!


Sweden's THE HELLACOPTERS — the band fronted by former ENTOMBED drummer Nicke Andersson (on guitar/vocals) — has issued the following update:

"After nearly thirteen years as THE HELLACOPTERS we're now sad to tell you that we are breaking up. The reasons behind this very difficult decision are many and too personal to go into here.

"Playing in a rock and roll band isn't always a walk in the park, but thanks to all of you who rocked out with us at sweaty clubs, rainy festivals or at home by the stereo throughout the years, it's been a fantastic trip. We'll never forget your support.

"We recently finished mixing our seventh and last studio album and it'll be released early next year, according to initial plans. We feel like we wanna say one last goodbye to you and throw in the towel with a bang, so we're aiming to do a farewell tour through Europe and Scandinavia sometime in the spring. So you're not getting rid of us just yet."

Joey " UNL dedicates facility to Johnny Carson "




" Johnny Carson's widow, Alexis, and Harvey Perlman, University of Nebraska-Lincoln chancellor, are among the dignitaries attending the renaming Friday of a UNL school in honor of the entertainer, who left a $10 million gift to the university.Nearly two years after his death, Johnny Carson returned to campus Friday in spirit.

He was there in photos hung inside the newly remodeled and expanded Temple Building: Carson as a child, Carson as a college student, Carson hosting "The Tonight Show," Carson dressed as the swami "Carnac the Magnificent." And he was there on audiotape played for the occasion.

He was there with two dozen relatives, including his widow, Alexis, at the newly named Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film inside the Temple Building to celebrate the late entertainer's $10 million donation to the university.

And he was there for the resurgence of the university's once-struggling theater and film departments.

The college opened a state-of-the-art, 200-seat theater this summer thanks to Carson's donation and launched an internship program that gives broadcasting and film students experience producing documentaries.

Applications are up. So is excitement.

"Amidst all the celebrity and all the fame, he never forgot his Nebraska roots. He never forgot this place," said Giacomo Oliva, dean of the College of Fine and Performing Arts.

Carson graduated in 1949. He taped a 45-minute audio senior thesis in which he discusses the do's and don'ts of writing funny.

Dick Carson said his brother could always write — his college education helped hone that skill and laid the groundwork for Johnny Carson's success in comedy.

Now Johnny Carson has given other film and broadcasting students the chance to get serious experience while in school, said Josie Azzam, a junior film major.

A dozen film and broadcasting students now serve as Nebraska Educational Television interns and complete projects partly paid for by Carson's donation.

Four of the interns, including Azzam, recently completed the group's first major project: a Carson documentary spiced with interviews that the students scored with Dick Cavett, David Letterman and Jay Leno.

The public can see the film at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Temple Building's Howell Theatre.

Azzam, who was 4 years old in 1992, when Carson signed off "The Tonight Show" for the last time, said she grew to know the native of Corning, Iowa, during research for the documentary.

"I actually began to miss that which I never had," she told Carson's family.

For a brief moment Friday, the entertainer's family, students and university leaders heard Carson's voice return to the theater building.

Harvey Perlman, chancellor of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, ended his speech by playing a small part of "How to Write Comedy for Radio."

During the clip, the famous Carson voice introduces his senior project.

He sounds like a student hoping for a decent grade. He doesn't sound like one who suspects he'll grow so famous that his senior thesis will be publicly released, or so accomplished that a film school will be renamed in his honor.

It isn't hard to figure out how Johnny Carson — who spent much of his youth in Norfolk, Neb. — would have felt about the dedication ceremony, the new theater and the rebuilt Temple Building if he had lived to see them, Dick Carson said.

"I think his gifts say it all about how he felt," Carson said. "
