QUICK HITS

-

1 Young dies: Reggie Young, a versatile and prolific guitarist who recorded with Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson and Dusty Springfiel­d and brought a distinctly Southern flair to a vast range of pop music, died at his home in Leiper’s Fork near Franklin, Tennessee. He was 82. The cause was a heart ailment. Young’s notable credits included Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” and Presley’s “Suspicious Minds.” ■ Hazel Head, the mother of former longtime Tennessee women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt, has died. She was 93.

2 Guilty plea: Actor Alec Baldwin, 60, pleaded guilty to a charge of harassment on Wednesday following a November dust-up over a parking spot in New York City.

3 Not so fast: The University of South Florida St. Petersburg mistakenly sent out more than 400 acceptance letters for applicatio­ns. The letters were quickly revoked. Applicants say their excitement died shortly after they got a second email that day that said, “There was an error in the system. Please disregard the previous email.”

Jackson show: A new musical about Michael Jackson — set on the cusp of the iconic but controvers­ial singer’s “Dangerous World Tour” and dealing more fully with his complex legacy than previous endeavors — is headed first to Chicago in the fall and then to Broadway in 2020. Its title, drawn from a 1979 hit single, is “Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough.”

5 Testimony postponed: Michael Cohen, the former personal lawyer for President Donald Trump, indefinite­ly postponed his congressio­nal testimony. Cohen was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight Committee on Feb. 7.
