He gazed out of the bus window at the 0 Kentucky landscape and thought of his father; he had not been back to Kentucky since his dad's funeral many years earlier. For Crowe, returning to Kentucky was a celebration, an adventure into all the things he loved, all the things he could not see when he was mourning his father. "Elizabethtown" -the film and the soundtrack -was born. Music and movies have no separation for Crowe, who began his writing career at age 15 with a byline in Rolling Stone. Crowe likens the music -rom "Elizabethtown" to a "great American radio station " -a perfect road -trip mix tape. Music has been an important presence in all of Crowe's films.

he success of BET's first 25 years is due, in large part, to its employees. Leading the network's current charge is president /COO Debra Lee, who serves as successor to BET founder Robert L. Johnson, who is chairman /CEO. Lee began her career at BET in 1985 as VP /gen- eral counsel. During her tenure, she has played an active role in shaping the network. Now, as BET enters its second quarter of a century, Lee talks exclusively to Billboard about the past, pres- ent and future of the network.

How has the network changed during your time there? That's a hard question, because we've been through so much. When I came 20 years ago. BET was a small network with 10 million sub-

scribers. Not many urban areas had been wired . so half the country didn't even know BET [ex- isted]. So we've gone from that to a brand that is recognized in 100% of African -American homes.

ducing its own touring events and launching a label. The company's first live event is set for Oct. 29 at Mesa Field, above Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. It will tie into the Web site's two -year anniversary celebration and will feature a range of acts, including Dashboard Confessional and All- American Rejects. Touring venues are also finding value in digital partnerships, par- ticularly with the mobile world. For example, House of Blues patrons with a Motorola mobile phone may soon receive text messages during a show with dis- count offers on tour merchandise, or even an invitation to an after - party, thanks to an exclusive, multiyear alliance called "Powered by Motorola." Though terms of the deal are still being formulated, potential ben- efits include special text messages that let users bypass entry lines at shows. Motorola may also demonstrate new products to patrons wait- ing in line for shows at HOB clubs. The deal is a win -win for HOB, which will collect a rights fee from Mo- torola and use the service to boost attendance and patron spending. "We might be able to do value -added packages with the artist's permission that might drive people in early," says Kevin Mor- row, senior VP of entertainment for HOB Entertainment. That could mean an increase in food -and -beverage rev- enue for HOB. Other deals are happening on a local level. Mobile marketing company G8wave and the club Middle East in Cambridge, Mass., for example, have linked to offer text messages to patrons that can be redeemed for food and drink specials, backstage passes and line privileges. The deal covers five major wireless carriers. The deal kicked off last month by offering free tickets to the first 150 people who joined. "Essentially, it's a promotional tool," says Kevin Hoskins, booking agent /promoter for the Middle East, a three -room venue with individual show capacities from 60 to 575 peo- ple. "With a database like this, we can get a message out on a minute's notice." Hoskins says that half of the people who texted a promotional code to the club actually came to

the Sept. 1 kickoff show.

The carrier is a sponsor of the Green Day tour, and wanted to stream the Network Live footage from the Wiltern. However, sources close to the situ- ation say the technical obstacles proved too great to overcome in the time provided. Regardless of the challenges, Network Live's Wall says wireless is a necessary addition to his venture. "Whether it's ready for prime time or not, we're going there," he says.

"Our business is on plan, and the am- phitheaters held up." Others also succeeded at amphitheaters, even with the much -maligned lawn seats. "The good news is that I think there's some hope for selling lots of lawn tickets at sheds when priced right," says Fermaglich, whose 3 Doors Down /Staind /Breaking Benjamin package per- formed well at the sheds. Like this time last year, the future is uncertain. "I think that the recent hurricanes and their af- termath will have a considerable impact nation- wide on the concert business," Fermaglich says. "Predominantly due to higher gas prices, people won't drive as far to see a show and will have to think about what shows they want to see, because money in general will be tighter." Phillips agrees, saying that bad news could come in the form of "the effect that the run -up in the price of gasoline will have on discretionary spending and whether the down numbers in the Consumer Confidence Index are going to trickle down to affecting the concert business in an adverse way." But Phillips remains optimistic. "You cannot download the live experience, and human sociol- ogy will always create the need to congregate with one's peers," he says. "People have to leave the co- coon of their homes to share experiences that are not available on a monitor. I continue to be both optimistic in my outlook and bullish in building the live -entertainment part of AEG." Hurwitz believes the business could be at a turn- ing point. "The good news is that perhaps, just perhaps, fiscal responsibility is threatening to make a comeback-unless, of course, [promot- ers] really want the act," he says. "The bad news is that it hasn't happened yet."
