POP & ROCK

Country singer Johnny Lee sang about looking for love in all the wrong places, but he also looked for business opportunities in the same place: Lee and a partner tried to open a nightclub in a dry county in Alabama, and they also lost a lawsuit that sought to override that no-alcohol law. U.S. District Judge William Acker of Birmingham on Friday dismissed a $5-million lawsuit that Lee and Jimmy Cornelius of Guntersville filed against the city of Guntersville. “Rather than bring this suit, plaintiffs perhaps should thank the defendants,” Acker said, because they kept Lee and Cornelius from spending money to build a nightclub that never could have received a liquor license. “Lemonade might not have mixed well with Hank Williams and it is doubtful that it would have made the cash register ring,” Acker wrote in his decision.
