David Byrne rocks in more than one way. Excellent show at ACL, made even better knowing he's an avid bike rider. I suppose he could park his bike inside the show...

Actor James Cromwell hurt in bike accident: rep

[Nov. 10, 2008]

LOS ANGELES (AFP) — Veteran actor James Cromwell was hospitalized with multiple injuries after being involved in a traffic accident while cycling at the weekend, his publicist said Monday.

Cromwell, 68, best known for his Oscar-nominated role as a farmer who trains a pig to be a sheep dog in the hit 1995 film "Babe," suffered a broken collar bone and a partially deflated lung in the accident.

Cromwell, described as a "serious cyclist," will be released from hospital later Monday and will make a full recovery, spokeswoman Nancy Seltzer said in a statement emailed to AFP.

Cromwell currently is starring as George H.W. Bush in the Oliver Stone film "W". Other notable roles have included parts in the acclaimed 1997 thriller "LA Confidential" and 1999 Stephen King adaptation "The Green Mile."
