Country Living For The Old
Filed under: Music Minute
Country musicians sure know how to take care of each other!
After more than a decade of planning and budgeting, the Nashville music industry is set to build a $95 million senior living community.
The area will be targeted to retirees from the music industry.
As of right now, it's set to open in 2013 in Franklin, Tennessee and will be called The Crescendo At Westhaven.
The complex will feature apartments ranging from $300-$650k and will even include financial assistance for those who are eligible.
Them some damn fancy apartments!
Country singer Martina McBride is supporting the project.
McBride says, "I do think that it's gonna be the first of its kind. It places great importance on keeping people who live here involved with Music Row and feeling like they're still involved in the music industry with things like songwriting workshops to a place to be able to perform if they want to a recording studio where they can still record music."
She adds, "It's just very unique, and I think it really will fit the needs of so many people who have been involved in the music industry in such a special way."
As for the community, it is being modeled after a similar retirement village here in the Woodland Hills area of Los Angeles, which is overseen bythe Motion Picture Television Fund.
Let's hope these people can even afford those housing prices by the time they retire. The way our shitty economy is going!

ACCORDING TO FORMER ALASKA GOVERNOR TONY KNOWLES:
"WHEN SARAH PALIN WAS THE MAYOR OF WASILLA ALASKA WASILLA CHARGED SEXUAL ASSAULT VICTIMS FOR THE COST OF THE SWAB KITS AND FORENSICS EXAMS NEEDED TO GATHER EVIDENCE FOR PROSECUTING THOSE RAPES OR SEXUAL ASSAULTS."

Guess in Sarah's world you only deserve justice if you have money!!!
And why does she hate women so much anyway–it's not like her queer-faced hubby would ever leave her for one!
Go country singers!
Yay, I love Martina McBride!
Nashville is nice.
hyatt has already been doing this, but this complex sounds much nicer, especially with country music folks!
thats the dumbest thing i've ever heard.
she's so beautiful!!
Matrina is one gorgeous lady both externally and in her heart - bless her heart for supporting the project. Seniors who poured their heart and soul into their music need be surrounded by equally beautiful souls in their later years - you go gurl!
Lord imagine a retired senior citizen Jessica Simpson taking advantage of this perk.
Maybe if Americans would wise up and dump the self-serving Republican Administrations, there wouldn't be so much pilfering from the public pot.
:l
If you plan to vote for McCain, do tell, which is your favorite scar on the body of America?
:l
Is it his (10am to midnight) gambling binges?
Is it the slippery way that he told McClatchy News Service in June, 2007, that he was Episcopalian; and then 3 months later told Fox News that he was Baptist (while campaigning in the heavily-Baptist state of South Carolina)?
Is it because he was a member of the Keating Five, where 5 congressmen were investigated on ethics charges for attempting to get racketeering charges dropped against Charles Keating, after Keating gave them large campaign contributions and vacation trips, of which McCain earned $112,000.00 plus several paid vacations, leaving a cost to taxpayers of $3.4 billion dollars [the Lincoln Savings & Loan collapse]?
Is it because you want a First Lady who is so cunning, she was able to steal narcotics from a medical charity (she admitted stealing narcotics from a medical charity for Christ's sake).
Is it because he publicly referred to Leonardo DiCaprio as an androgynous wimp?
:l
W T F ? ?
How come all this money is going to house a community of old "music artists"?
WHY is it not being spent on people that don't have cars to drive to get to work or on food for poor people so they and their children can eat?? Why is there FINANCIAL SUPPORT for people to get apartments that cost a min. of 300k?
I don't get it…
The Photo is FAKE
awww shoot. country bumpkins got a place to live ya'll
hmm h ttp://www.mp3fiesta.com/?partner=3578
Everyone should listen to her sing. I'm no big country music fan to say the least, but her voice is amazing. It's rare to find someone in the music industry that truly has vocals like her. She is also right on live which is also rare.
I hope Martina's health starts improving. Her breast cancer caused her to loser her hear and wear this awfully bad wig.
Feel better girl, you deserve it. I was never a fan of your's but hun you really kept up with Pat Benatar. And she is a hottie.
…Wow you could be three of those secret Mozart compositions [Im aware there is only one..just saying]…or the "cheapest" apartment in this building.
It's because they feel guilty for ripping off the old timers
from their royalties due, if they even got any under shitty contracts….
This is peanuts compared to the millions the producers pocketed.
Martina McBride is a major MILF!
Re: joe456 – I love her music, her MILFY body and would like to see more of it!
