I have no idea where to post this, but since the folks that read this thread are likely the folks to be interested in this news, I decided to post it here. Let it be known that this is not a reason for why I like Texas, I'm just posting some news about one of the best Texas singer/songwriters.
Singer Cory Morrow arrested on drug charge
Associated Press
AUSTIN - Country singer Cory Morrow was charged with drug possession and driving while intoxicated after police said they found cocaine in a car he was driving.
Morrow, an Austin resident and favorite with the Texas college crowd, was stopped about 2:20 a.m. Saturday after he didn't signal a turn, according to a police affidavit.
The officer reported that Morrow's breath smelled of alcohol and his eyes were bloodshot. Morrow was arrested after failing a field sobriety test, and a plastic bag in the car contained one-third of a gram of cocaine, the affidavit said.
Morrow, 32, was charged with possession of a controlled substance, a felony with a maximum penalty of two years in state jail. He also was charged with driving while intoxicated, a Class B misdemeanor that carries a jail term of up to 180 days.
He was released from jail on $4,000 bail.
Morrow tour manager Dave Lytle said a statement would be issued today. Lytle did not immediately return a message left by The Associated Press.
Morrow, a Houston native, has released six albums, including Songs We Wish We'd Written, a collaboration with friend Pat Green.

He is scheduled to perform at Oysterbake in April. I am hoping this in no way affects his scheduled performance. However, I can understand if he decides to take some time off. This is a real bummer.
