Lewis and his wife, Kerrie, arrived Monday in Nesbit with their 7-year-old son. "It's good to be home," he said. "I thought it was time to make a visit again. This has been my home for 23 years."
The rock pioneer has longtime tax troubles. He moved to Dublin after the Internal Revenue Service started selling off his stuff and showing up at concerts to collect on a $3.75 million bill.
Lewis proposed a concert in nearby Memphis, Tenn., to help pay his tax debt. No date has been set for the show.
Bob Hope and the crooners of the soul classic "Bernadette" are coming to Charlotte, N.C., next month to raise money for a housing project community center.
Hope, 90, will reminisce about Bing Crosby and the movies at a country club dinner on April 21. On April 22, Hope and the Tops will perform at Charlotte Convention Center.
The dinner is $850 a couple; tickets cost $50.
Glenda Jackson counts three main reasons most single parents are single parents: death, divorce and desertion.
"It is not because we are hedonistic, immoral teen-agers who are dashing out" hoping to have an affair with "anybody who comes in sight," said the actress and British Parliament member.
The best part is "not having to hide your disagreements about how your child should be raised," Jackson said.
The worst: "Not being able to say, as I was told by my mother, `You just wait until your father gets home."'
Jackson raised her son, Daniel, after her marriage to director Roy Hodges ended in 1976. She contributed to a book about single parents and is helping to promote it.
