The singer of “Mirrors” gave up ownership of the verdant plot of land just a few weeks before his conviction for DWI on June 18.
Officially, Justin Timberlake has bid farewell to a sizable tract of land in Tennessee.
The forty-three-year-old singer of “Mirrors” sold his approximately 127-acre Franklin, Tennessee, property for $8 million. According to the listing, it’s tucked away “less than half a mile” from the quiet community of Leipers Fork and about 45 minutes outside of Nashville.
Not only does the property provide breathtaking vistas of Leipers Creek Valley, but it also has 50 acres of pastures and wildlife food plots. On-site features include footpaths, spring creeks, and a fishing pond.
The listing was held by Tom Sullivan of Covey Rise Properties.
According to property documents, Timberlake legally relinquished ownership of the expansive site on May 30, while on his current Forget Tomorrow World Tour.
The Tennessean claims that the Memphis native bought the land in 2015 from local preservationist and philanthropist Aubrey Preston.
Preston told the site that he and the Grammy winner have a great deal of affection for their home state, nearly a year after Timberlake’s acquisition.
At the time, Preston remarked, “We both love Tennessee and loved growing up on land.” “We want to do our share to protect that for our children and future generations. We got to know one another in this way.
The transaction occurred just a few weeks prior to Timberlake’s June 18 arrest in Sag Harbor, New York, for allegedly driving under the influence.
He was stopped by a Sag Harbor policeman while traveling from the American Hotel to a friend’s house. Subsequently, the singer was issued two citations for failure to maintain lane integrity and one count of driving while intoxicated.
Although Timberlake’s arrest has sparked a frenzy among the public and his fans, a source tells PEOPLE that he and wife Jessica Biel are unconcerned about the event.
“They have put the arrest behind them. The insider stated, “They continue to put work and family first and have faith in their legal team.” Timberlake and the actress from The Better Sister are parents to two kids, Phineas, 4, and Silas, 9.
In 1965, Paul Harvey’s warning was broadcast: Today, it’s sadly come true
Paul Harvey, the news commentator and talk-radio pioneer whose staccato style made him one of the United States’ most familiar voices, reached more than 24 million listeners at the peak of his career.
Although he was very accurate on everything he had to say, no one could imagine that his famous words from 54 years ago would become the reality of today.
I read this today and thought how relevant it is.
The speech was broadcast by legendary ABC Radio commentator Paul Harvey on April 3, 1965.
He starts his ‘prophesy’ by saying: If I were the Devil… and then continues discussing issues that are these days ours to face.
EVERYBODY should listen to this. Sad to say but Paul Harvey was spot on 54 years ago.
”If I Were the Devil If I were the Prince of Darkness I would want to engulf the whole earth in darkness.
I’d have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, but I would not be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree.
So I should set about however necessary, to take over the United States.
I would begin with a campaign of whispers.
With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whispers to you as I whispered to Eve, “Do as you please.”
To the young I would whisper “The Bible is a myth.” I would convince them that “man created God,” instead of the other way around. I would confide that “what is bad is good and what is good is square.”
In the ears of the young married I would whisper that work is debasing, that cocktail parties are good for you. I would caution them not to be “extreme” in religion, in patriotism, in moral conduct.
And the old I would teach to pray — to say after me — “Our father which are in Washington.”
Then I’d get organized.
I’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting so that anything else would appear dull, uninteresting.
I’d threaten TV with dirtier movies, and vice-versa.
I’d infiltrate unions and urge more loafing, less work. Idle hands usually work for me.
I’d peddle narcotics to whom I could, I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction, I’d tranquilize the rest with pills.
If I were the Devil, I would encourage schools to refine young intellects, but neglect to discipline emotions; let those run wild.
I’d designate an atheist to front for me before the highest courts and I’d get preachers to say, “She’s right.”
With flattery and promises of power I would get the courts to vote against God and in favor of pornography.
Thus I would evict God from the courthouse, then from the schoolhouse, then from the Houses of Congress.
Then in his own churches I’d substitute psychology for religion and deify science.
If I were Satan I’d make the symbol of Easter an egg
And the symbol of Christmas a bottle.
If I were the Devil I’d take from those who have and give to those who wanted until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. Then my police state would force everybody back to work.
Then I would separate families, putting children in uniform, women in coal mines and objectors in slave-labor camps.
If I were Satan I’d just keep doing what I’m doing and the whole world go to hell as sure as the Devil”
I use to listen to Paul Harvey with my mom in the 70s. He is very accurate on everything he says. All the things he mentioned 54 years ago are exactly what’s going on NOW!
Incredible man, Incredible insight. Share this if you agree.
