While Bret Michaels remains in critical condition at an undisclosed hospital, Sharon Osbourne, his Celebrity Apprentice co-star, calls it a tragedy: 7. Donald Trump has been in touch with the hospital where Bret’s being treated, and says that the singer is “in big, big trouble and the prognosis is not great.”
John Mellencamp has set June 15th as the release date for his four-CD, 54-track career-spanning box set, On the Rural Route 7609. Unlike typical box sets that tend to be presented in chronological order, this one is laid out as if each of the discs were a freestanding album. 17 of the songs are unreleased, including the demos of “Jack and Diane” and “Authority Song.” The set also contains a 72-page book in which Mellencamp tells the story behind each song. As for the title of the set, Mellencamp says, “I started making records in ‘76, and the most recent track on the collection was done in ‘09. So Rural Route 7609; it’s like an address. I thought it sounded cool.”
