    Fellow Okies were on hand last night as Carrie Underwood joined The Grand Ole Opry, becoming its youngest member. Presenting her induction, Garth Brooks told Carrie, "Nothing will last as long or be as important as this award right here." Later Vince Gill joined her on "Jesus, Take the Wheel." Meanwhile, here's more on Carrie, including a report on her just "OK" (pun intended, I think) show in the old Texas town of El Paso, the cost of booking her ("$41,077 per song, or $7,120 a minute for the time she played"), the Okie ex- who refused to be seen with her and "Thirteen Ways of Looking at Carrie Underwood." Vince, meanwhile, is learning to cook for the Mrs. Fonzie Wept: Miranda Lambert's songwriting basics: “I don’t write about angels, Jesus, happy days, kids. I grew up on drinkin’, cheatin’ and love gone bad.” "Pirates" Ravin': Checking in with Kenny Chesney's "Poets & Pirates" tour in Baltimore, from Charm City's Sun paper. What the World Needs: Checking in with Christina Ciminella, er, Wynonna, courtesy of The Miami Herald, who tell us The Judd is working on her next album. "Nice, Happy Stuff:" Checking in with Rascal Flatts (in their home state, kind of) Ohio. No Foul: Don Henley of The Eagles wonders why his group doesn't suffer fallout from his political statements, like The Dixie Chicks did.
