Naomi & Wynonna: Love Can Build a Bridge was a 1995 television miniseries about the mother-daughter country music duo The Judds, directed by Bobby Roth and initially broadcast by NBC on May 14–15, 1995.
Kathleen York stars as Naomi Judd (then known as Diana Judd) a single mother of two daughters, who turned to music as way to help positively influence her increasingly belligerent and rebellious eldest daughter Wynonna, (then known as Christina). The movie chronicles Naomi's struggle to provide for her daughters (the youngest of whom grew up to become actress Ashley Judd, who narrates the film), the singing duo's rise from Nashville fame to national celebrity, the ups and downs that accompanied a working family relationship, and Naomi's eventual retirement from the music business. The movie was based on Naomi's autobiography Love Can Build A Bridge.
Variety described this production as "above average for the genre, with a lot of good music in addition to the expected hard times and heartaches."Entertainment Weekly called it "mostly misguided" but nevertheless thought that "the stars fit the bill to perfection" and gave particular credit to the work of casting executive Molly Lopata.Joyce Millman of the San Francisco Examiner praised the "surprisingly perceptive and hugely entertaining NBC miniseries" and its lead performers' "fearless, intelligent performances as determined, stubborn women who remain admirable even when they're unlovable."
Love Can Build a Bridge is the fifth and final studio album released by RCA Records in 1990 by American country duo The Judds. It features the singles "Born to Be Blue," the title track and "One Hundred and Two". The title track has later been covered by several other artists.
Results May Vary is the fourth studio album by the American nu metal band Limp Bizkit. Released in 2003, it is the band's only release under the leadership of Fred Durst. Results May Vary is the only Limp Bizkit album without guitarist Wes Borland, who left the band in 2001. Limp Bizkit recorded with Snot guitarist Mike Smith after Borland's departure; when the band had a falling-out with Smith, much of the material recorded with him was discarded. Despite negative critical reception, the album peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 and sold more than 325,000 copies in its first week after release.
Originally entitled Bipolar and Panty Sniffer, Results May Vary differs from the band's established sound. The album features a variety of musical styles in addition to nu metal, rap rock and rap metal elements, and a change in Limp Bizkit's lyrical style.
During production, the album's title changed from Bipolar to Panty Sniffer, and then to Results May Vary. Other working titles were Less Is More, Fetus More and The Search For Teddy Swoes. The finished product assembled songs from a number of sessions. On August 20, 2003, Fred Durst posted on the Limp Bizkit website:
Time came around and I was in need
You came by my side, all my troubles to ease
You collected my heart, healing the past
You'll never lay down [unverified] and I can count on you
We all speak well of a bridge that carries us over
Over safe
The art of compromise has surely been our greatest strength
Our greatest strength
When someone pretends to circle your friend
And finds, he's [unverified] betraying you 'fore it all ends
A bittersweet chain, that'll always remain
So don't let illusions get the better of you
We all speak well of a bridge that carries us over
Over safe
The art of compromise has surely been our greatest strength
Our greatest strength
Love is to share where words can't compare
Love is desire, so full of fire
We all speak well of a bridge that carries us over
Over safe
The art of compromise has surely been our greatest strength
Our greatest strength
We all speak well of a bridge that carries us over
Over safe
The art of compromise has surely been our greatest strength
