Very Cool Dawg!
I’m leaving after work tomorrow, driving from Baltimore to York PA, to spend the evening watching the Idol kick off with my nice. It’s sort of a tradition with us. It started when we lived together for a time, both of us going through some difficult personal times and painful break ups and Idol provided us with some escapism from real life and some comic relief.
She and I share the very same sarcastic sort of humor gene. We watch Idol with a sort MST3K dialogue going on the whole time. While we are both music lovers and musicians (although not singers) at one time or another in our lives, and while we really appreciate seeing the real talent, there is something very sadly satisfying in laughing at people making complete fools of themselves. We know it’s wrong, but we can’t help ourselves. I love the bad auditions. Does that make me a bad person?
But I am interested to see how this year’s show may be a bit different in that the contestants are allowed to play an instrument as well as sing. That might make things a bit more interesting.
I’m looking forward to this year’s competition. I hope that there is no Sanjia making it the finals. And enough with the Country, Standards and Pop signers; personally I’d like to see a “real rocker” or an original singer-song writer make it this year. I’d like to see someone doing some original songs rather than just reinterpretations of covers.
BTW – I love the drawing. You are very talented.
You sound like our kind of people, LOL :) Would you like to be added to the ping list?
