How did your life collide with the headlines in 2007?
Iraq, the subprime crisis, Facebook, immigration, oil prices - 2007 had no shortage of hefty headlines. We'd like to hear about how these and other major news events of the past year affected you. Where did your life collide with the news in 2007?

What's your holiday performance story?
The office talent show, the neighborhood caroling posse, the school pageant ... At holiday time we often sing, dance, and dress as shepherds. Did you bloom in the warmth of your audience's adulation, or freeze up like the snowman you'd rather be building? Did your holiday performance change your life or that of someone close to you?

Listen (real)

The headliners at the Austin City Limits Music Festival this year include Tom Petty and Willie Nelson. But there are some smaller stars as well. In fact, some of the stars are barely four feet tall. The Palm School Choir is made up entirely of elementary students from a local Austin school. And their repertoire is a little different than those show tunes you sang back in school. These kids rock out. Weekend America's Michael May joined them for practice.

Then...
...we drop in live on David Brown, the host of Texas Music Matters on public radio affiliate KUT. David will give us the lowdown on the scene at the Austin City Limits Music Festival.
