    Willie Nelson releases Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die in November

    p.s Ah yes, and the implication of his 'speaking' is again repeated at the top near the title-- a kind of subtitle highlighted in a blue box? "He'll talk about his favorite recreational activity in the book". Huh? So is it a talking book? Please do tell us where he will be doing this 'talking'. Talking implies with one's mouth, not as in writing with a pen or on a computer or keyboard.

    Willie Nelson releases Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die in November

    Sorry, but I'm new to this "Pegasus News" --but is this the general quality of writing? Regarding this blurb on Mr. Nelson's new book, has online journalism just taken another turn for the worse? Has basic journalistic writing gone to a new low? Has the author (or have the authors) forgotten to include fully informative, forthcoming complete details on the basics (who, what, when, where, why and how)? Okay, let's review folks: Well, we have the 'who': Willie Nelson, and we have the 'what': it's about his latest book release, and we have the 'when': November 13th (2012?), but where is the 'where'? Where will he be "telling" about his "never-before-heard stories about his life"? Is there a bookstore somewhere where he will be doing this 'telling'? And please give us the exact address and time. Thank you. The word 'telling' is usually reserved for someone 'vocalizing' something. So the reader is confused...not a good thing to do to readers when one is doing ethical and decent journalism. The word "telling" as it is used in the above context implies that Mr. Nelson is going to be speaking (some where), but where (and exactly when)? ("Where" always includes the actual physical location, store or venue name, exact address, city and state, dates and to be generous, how about the exact time(s)?). If the author(s) meant that Mr. Nelson has "written" about the "never before heard' stories mentioned above, then please, strike the word "telling" and correct it to "Mr. Nelson's 'written' about "never before heard stories". This is done so that readers are not confused or put off about the news in Pegasus News and may come to rely on Pegasus News as a viable and reliable, time expedient news source. Writing is not like the verbally inadequate 'rapping', nor does it feel satisfactory to the reader to take one's time reading cheesy, quickie, incomplete, little soundbites that don't fully inform. Is the GuideLine Group made up of 6th graders still learning how to write properly? And please "Pegasus News" publish the name(s) of the individuals who has/have written the pieces that get published in this online newspaper-magazine. I am appreciative that there's a date at the top, near the title... weeee!
