POP/ROCK - Sept. 7, 1987
<i> Arts and entertainment reports from The Times, national and international news services and the nation's press</i>
Their absence from a southern Missouri concert in 1985--allegedly because of weather-related travel problems--has cost country music singers Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter nearly $35,000. A federal court jury deliberated less than an hour before ordering the husband-and-wife duo to pay damages to two promoters. Jennings and Colter testified that they missed the concert in Noel, Mo., because they were led to believe their connecting flight from Nashville to Dallas could not leave because of fog.
