Tony Christie to finally visit Amarillo - and we say "yee-haw."

"An unannounced visit by pop singer Richard Marx took Hazard residents by surprise Sunday morning, as he and his band rolled through Nebraska following a performance in North Platte.
According to Hazard mayor Mike Long, Marx's tour bus pulled into the community of 78 around 10 a.m. Long said Marx had his picture taken in front of the Hazard road sign and the post office. Marx's band members also bought ice uptown and picked up a few Hazard Daze t-shirts, Long said. Long estimated that the singer and his band were in town for 20-30 minutes, but only a handful of residents were aware of their presence. Long said when he found out Marx was in town, he tried to talk with him, but the entourage moved on without the singer mingling or visiting with any of the townspeople."

"A quick stop off by Pete Burns of the group "Dead or Alive" in the deserted ghost town of "too deep" created a quick photo-opportunity for the staff magazine..."

Marx protested to the angry mob: "She was a really clumsy person, you know... always falling, slipping, losing her footing, that sort of thing. i really had no idea about the accident until the officer told me. really! no i did. she was that sort of a person, just no sense of balance. i mean none whatsoever. it clearly wasn't any of my doing, etc"
