Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

A Bee Gee in Nashville?

From the Star-Telegram:

Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees, has purchased the Nashville, Tenn.-area home where Johnny Cash and his wife, June Carter Cash, lived for 35 years. Gibb and his wife, Linda, bought the rustic home on Old Hickory Lake in Hendersonville, Tenn., for an undisclosed amount, a lawyer for the Cash family said Wednesday. Hendersonville is 13 miles northeast of downtown Nashville. "This place will always be the spiritual home for the Cashes," Gibb said. "My wife, Linda, and I ... plan to use the home to write songs because of the musical inspiration."


From the IndyStar.com:

After six months on the market, Johnny and June Carter Cash's lakefront home in Hendersonville, Tenn., sold for close to its $2.5 million asking price in a deal announced by the estate's trustees.

Barry Gibb, of the 1970s pop group the Bee Gees, and his wife, Linda, purchased it.

They plan to use it as a summer home. The house, built in 1968, sat empty for two years after the deaths of both Cashes in 2003.
