J. Lee's Gourmet BBQ Sauce,the sauce that carries the statement 'Put It On Anything!', recently adopted a new look to its label but insists the same great taste remains inside the bottles. The new label bears the former soldier and founder of J. Lee's Gourmet BBQ Sauce Mr. James Lee's uniformed photo. The significance of the change lies in the fact that this is the first barbecue sauce to feature a uniformed soldier on the bottle; and J. Lee's is soon to be the first nationally distrubuted product with a soldier on the label. The new label continues to recognize Lee's hometown and the origin of the sauce, Biloxi, Mississippi, and boldly states 'A Taste All Families Love' and 'Put It On Anything!'

Month in and month out, medici.tv takes music lovers to one-of-a-kind concert happenings around the world - the next best thing to being there. The next great medici.tv experience is tomorrow, Friday, February 7, at 2pm EST, with the live webcast of Charles Wuorinen's opera Brokeback Mountain, in its much-anticipated premiere production at Madrid's Teatro Real. Wuorinen, the 75-year-old composer who has both a Pulitzer Prize and a MacArthur 'genius' grant to his credit, based his opera on the short story of the same name by fellow Pulitzer-winner Annie Proulx, who also penned the libretto (her first). The heartbreaking story of a complex emotional-sexual relationship between two Wyoming cowboys over 20 years starting in 1963 earned wide renown in Ang Lee's 2005 film version, which won three Academy Awards among many other international prizes. The New York Times first-night review of the Madrid production called Wuorinen's opera 'a serious work, an impressive achievement,' praising the 'intricate, vibrantly orchestrated and often brilliant score that conveys the oppressiveness of the forces that defeat these two men.' The review also described the stage production by Belgian director Ivo van Hove as 'starkly beautiful,' with the conducting by Titus Engel drawing 'a pulsing, incisive performance' from the orchestra. The opera stars Canadian bass-baritone Daniel Okulitch and American tenor Tom Randle as the closeted ranch hands Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist. The Times review pointed out: 'The cast, to a member, embraces every chance to maximize every lyrical bit in the vocal writing.'
