HURRICANE/TROPICAL STORM HARVEY obviously occupied much of the news.  NEVERTHELESS, I have...

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: It was the worst weekend box office overall since the immediate aftermath of 9/11. The Hitman's Bodyguard topped the chart with 10MM on a 53 percent drop. Annabelle: Creation placed with7.4MM on a 53 percent drop.  Leap! showed with 5MM.  Wind River actually zipped up from tenth last week to the fourth slot with 4.4MM and is now close to recouping its modest 11MM production budget.  Logan Lucky rounded out the Top Five with 4.4MM on a 43 percent drop.

RUSSELL BRAND married his partner Laura Gallacher in a ceremony near Henley-on-Thames on Saturday.

TOBE HOOPER, best known for directing The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and “directing" Poltergeist, died Saturday.  He was 74.

AS HURRICANE HARVEY APPROACHED, a hawk got into a taxi cab and refused to leave.

WHAT 35 INCHES OF RAIN DREDGES UP: Hurricane Harvey's unusual path could hit Houston with rain and storm surges at the same time-surfacing gators, snakes, sewage, and coffins.

I'll be back tomorrow, with a more typical selection.

THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE:

... with GRAM PARSONS! As a member of both The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers, and as a solo artist, Parsons anticipated the so-called country rock of the 1970s and the alt-country movement that began around 1990. There is not a lot of GP video floating around, but "Christine's Tune" is a good place to start, though the video for "Older Guys" is great because someone made them go out to christen Judge Smails' sloop. The Hell's Angels make an unfortunate cameo in the clip of "Six Days o­n the Road" from the infamous Altamont festival in 1969. The posthumous video for "Sin City" is nice also. BONUS: Dwight Yoakum covers "Wheels" at a Parsons tribute concert. DOUBLE BONUS: Frequent duet partner Emmylou Harris covers "Return of the Grievous Angel" with alt-country icon Ryan Adams (and Buddy Miller o­n bass) at a different tribute.

THE PAINS OF BEING PURE AT HEART advance streams The Echo Of Pleasure.

HERCULES & LOVE AFFAIR advance streams Omnion.

DAN WILSON stopped by The Current for a chat and mini-set.

FASTBALL covered Dolly Parton's "9 to 5."

R.E.M.: "Don't Go Back to Rockville," very unplugged.
