I'd heard about him beating his wife before, awhile ago. Since they've
only been married for 6 months, I'm wondering if there was a previous
wife that he abused.or if it's the same girl. Either way, this is very,
very sad and I sure hope he gets help. If his wife is smart, she'll
leave ASAP.

Stacey is his second wife. I'm surprised you don't remember the story
about his first wife. She was injured in a fire from an explosion of a gas
heater while visiting her Dad. Tracey was on the road. It seems to me she
was even pregnant but it has been a while so I may have that wrong. Word
was that as soon as he got her though the worst of the surgeries etc he
divorced her. He was quoted at the time as saying that he needed and
wanted the life he has on the road more then he wanted a family. He also
said that it was tough to have a relationship with just one women after
having the adoration of so many fans. Sounds like a real nice guy - huh?
Makes you wonder why any women would marry him at all.

Does anyone that hits women deserve to be thought of as anything but a
wife beater? I sure don't think so. It doesn't matter how much talent he
has, a man that hits a women is a jerk and deserves to lose the respect of
the world. Even more so when the female is one he has stood at an alter
with and taken vows to love honor and cherish.

Gosh, Deb, it sounds like the country music fans are pretty mad at

is too horrible...but I'll say it anyway.
No more #1 singles for Tracy??

His first wife was a few months pregnant at the time of the explosion and
she lost the baby. I heard he was at home but in a different part of the
house. The first wife and her father were both injured in the explosion.
The man has been *accused* of beating his wife. He has not been *convicted*.
(Oh, I know -- no woman would ever falsely accuse a man, right? Because
women are better than men. More honest. Right?)

I've got an idea for rehabilitating Tracy's country music career.
He changes his image to that of the villain. He's like those guys on
Pro Rasslin who strut around in black masks and nazi helmits.
He and Martina McBride cut a new video for "Independence Day" in which
they act out the parts, kinda like Meatloaf does with "Bat Out of
Hell." Wow! What country theater.

Doesn't make me wonder at all, Deb. There are plenty of women, whether you want
to concede it or not, who want very much to be Mrs. Tracy Lawrence, thank you
very much, and all of the money and pathetic "fame" that comes with it.
I am proud to say that I have NEVER been a fan of this idiot. He always looked
and sounded like such a goddam CRACKER to me. (And *nothing* about this one is
"Ritz", either--pure white trash all the way.) Even is silly makeover where
his handlers had him cut his hair and cheezy moustache didn't help.

>> according to my sources///....spet 13 tracy struck ..wife with

this story,,,the fight started after wife..confronted tracy about
outrageous gambling at a casino....police report on file in reno...not
gossip...public record....pray for the both of them
When men like Tracy do this, they are raging at their mothers through
their wifes. Why? It often has to do with breast-feeding. When Mom
takes her breast away too soon, the baby thinks: "I'M GONNA KILL YOU
BITCH." But of course babies don't have any way to say this, much less
actually do it.
This repressed feeling lies dormant for many years and bursts out
compulsively against the wife. Gambling can be a form of compulsive,
rageful behavior, too.
It depends, Bob. Some mothers don't breast feed but still give their
babies lots of physical love and attention. If your Mom was like this
and then removed her affections suddenly, you might have the same
sublimated DIE BITCH hostility as Tracy Lawrence.
On the other hand, some mothers get so revolted looking at their babies
that they never want to touch them. If your Mom felt this way about
you, Bob, then you should be mentally normal and healthy.
Stella
Funny, Stella. I'm not believing any of this whole story, or the police
report, until we hear Tracy's side. But haven't you heard--members of
this newsgroup believe, which I don't go along with, that death threats
show good "temperment" and ethics.
I'll still buy his music. He's still a darn good singer.

This is clearly bullshit Guy. Please don't feed us all the
psychological claptrap.
If the stories are true, then he has fallen into the trap that has
ensnared so many before him. Fame has gone to his head. He has got too
big for his hat, thinks he is above the law, and has no need to
conform to accepted levels of decency.

It's not bullshit. Men rage at their mothers through their wives. This
stuff is old. It's not about being famous. Just ask any sheriff on a
Saturday night or Sunday morning.
The other near certainty is that Tracy grew up around at least one male
role model who was a wife abuser. The seeds are planted early.
When I say we're trying to break the chains, this is what I mean.
Fathers need to accept responsibility for being better role models.
When they lose control and rage against women, they need to apologize
not just to the women but also to the children. They need to explain to
children why it's wrong and unacceptable.
It doesn't help the cause to have all these crap songs sung by Tracy
and others about how great, wise and kind old dad was. It's called
"revisionism."
Stella
Gee, thanks for passing along your wisdom on the matter. It ties in so

"it's O.K to beat someone up if they upset you" or, perhaps

: The Promise Keepers serve a valuable role, John, as does the country

: The Promise Keepers and cartel both are conservative causes trying to
: hold back the pace of change.
Hmm. They want to change the statistics on spousal abuse, absentee
fathers, and divorce by calling men to worship a higher power or, at
least, subscribe to a moral code that meets a higher standard than
most people in this country do. PK urges men to accept responsibility
and become better role models in their homes and communities.
What's interesting is, I followed up to the following comment by you:
"When I say we're trying to break the chains, this is what I mean.
Fathers need to accept responsibility for being better role models."
But, of course, this is a *Christian* organization we're talking
about, therefore the fact that PK seeks this goal becomes
irrelevant.
: Of course, their struggle is in vain. The forces of change always
: defeat the forces of conservatism eventually.
PK is a Christian group, but Christian does not equate with
conservative. Well, except in the minds of the media. I personally
would say it is right of center, but certainly closer to the center
than it was in 1990.
: People like me are warriors. We strap on our armour everyday and go
: forth to fight the Promise Keepers and BTOs. Without opponents, we

So, exactly *what* about Promise Keepers are you fighting against?
Other than what Patricia Ireland told you?

Are you seriously asking, or just trying to be antagonistic?
Your point is well-taken. However, as far as why women were not
invited ... PK is a men's group and there are things that come up
at events like this ... or anywhere else in life ... that are
easier to share with other men. I personally have faced times
where I have waited for an entire room to clear to talk to my pastor,
because I didn't want other people in general, and women in
particular, to hear what I was discussing. (It was a personal
matter. Please leave it at that.)
The short answer, albeit an incomplete one because of how it
appears at face value, is that it wasn't an even where a strong
female presence would have been welcome or appropriate.
If you seriously would like to discuss this further, I'll
check in with you tomorrow, when I'm not under the influence
of migraine medication.
The Promise Keepers serve a valuable role, John, as does the country
music radio cartel.
The Promise Keepers and cartel both are conservative causes trying to
hold back the pace of change.
They are fighting the same enemy, which is the army of change...we who
want to go beyond the patriarchal values which have served our world
well for 2000 years.
Of course, their struggle is in vain. The forces of change always
defeat the forces of conservatism eventually.
Where our forces of change must struggle against formidable opposition,
like the Promise Keepers and cartel, change is achieved with more
public acceptance and deeper roots than it would otherwise achieve.
What we change-seekers fear the most is capitulation by the
conservatives. Then, change sweeps forward headlong, and backlashes
against us occur. It can sometimes take half a century to overcome a
strong, justified conservative backlash.
People like me are warriors. We strap on our armour everyday and go
forth to fight the Promise Keepers and BTOs. Without opponents, we
warriors of change are useless and out of business. We must not only
move society forward, John, but also keep ourselves gainfully employed.
Change is gain, John.
Stella
>So, exactly *what* about Promise Keepers are you fighting against?

I'm a lot smarter than Patricia Ireland, John.
The 21st century will be a spiritual century. There will be huge
interest in where we came from, who we are, and where we are going
through the cosmos. Life on other planets... biogenetics...metaphysical
demonstrations, etc.
New religions will emerge next century to capture and focus spiritual
demand.
The old religions can't divorce mankind's spiritual needs from
patriarchal moral dogma. And they are doomed.
There will be no moral basis in the new religions. Patriarchy is
characterized, in large part, by the need for a common code of
male-dominated moral behavior centered in religion. And patriarchy will
soon be dead.
So, John, Promise Keepers are a desperate fling by those who cling to
morals-based religion. Fathers doing a better job? No problem. Fathers
doing a better job because it's the Christian thing, and Christ said
men should not be gay and rule women and slap children around. Big
problems there, John.

I know you put this in here purely to bait me, but I'm going to
say it anyway: where did Christ EVER say any of these things?
I know all these items appear elsewhere in the Bible, but Christ
didn't say them. (By the way, "spare the rod and spoil the child"
does appear in Proverbs but I am sure it was never intended to serve
as permission to punch a child's lights out. Many parents use an
open hand to slap their child when he/she has done something wrong.
This is a fair sight different from "slapping children around" in the
context I believe you mean.)
Do you truly think that your backward-swinging pendulum can erase
cyberspace...and all that it means to mankind?
If so...why are you here?

First off, let me start by stating this is one side of the story as
I've said numerous times, ANYONE can go file a police
report...secondly, I have talked with Tracy's fan club president who
works inside of the Tracy Lawrence Enterprises, she knows the man
personally and well. She states there is NO TRUTH to the rumor that
they are getting back together. Her belief, along with mine is that
this is a revenge tactic. Everything I have read, seen or heard about
TL goes against this. I was married to an abuser so I know well the
signs of one and I in no way condone domestic violence, there is no
reason at all for a man to hit a woman. However like I have said, this
is HER side of the story and HERS alone. Since no charges have been
filed as of yet, I would venture to say that in all probability none
will be filed. I say that people should wait and hear both sides, and
wait until the man is proven guilty before coming to assumptions.

If you haven't seen it in print by now then you must have simply missed it
- it was in a lot of papers this week. I am copying the Associated Press
story below. BTW in answer to your question - women often return to
abusers because they love them and feel that they mean what they say when
they promise never to do it again. Some do but that in itself is seldom
enough to prevent them from repeating the behaviour. Right now Tracey has a
lot of incentive to convince her he has changed too. If they reconcile she
most likely will refuse to testify against him. Also it will help him in
"the court of public opinion" and his image is in real trouble now. I
have consuled women in this situation and they often return several times
before they give up on a relationship. Unfortunately I think too many of
us were taught to "Stand By Your Man" until the bitter end. Some don't
deserve that kind of loyalty. Often they can talk the women into giving it
just one more chance many times before she forces him into either getting
counseling or she leaves.
