I think Fame was on last night but I didn't watch it because it seemed like a choppy show. Don't ask me what that means but they couldn't keep me longer than a minute. After Clay got robbed (but paid handsomely for his graciousness I'm sure), I'm burnt out on reality shows.

Clay's friends couldn't vote for him and neither could lots of us.

I like to hear arrangements but they don't need to make it so long that I lose interest. A couple of verses and chorus are enough for most people's attention span unless it's an aria or monks chanting.

AMERICAN IDOL MARINE TO PERFORM AT HOMECOMING

(05-29-2003) - A Marine who came in fourth place on television's "American Idol" program will sing at a city celebration welcoming home sailors and Marines in the Constellation Battle Group.

Lance Cpl. Josh Gracin, 22, will sing patriotic songs at the event that begins at 8 a.m. Monday at the Broadway Pier.

"Lance Corporal Gracin will provide musical inspiration to the crowd gathered on Broadway Pier to welcome home our troops," San Diego Mayor Dick Murphy said.

The Marine Band also will perform, while Navy and Marine personnel already home from Iraq will speak about their war experiences. The Constellation is expected to dock at North Island around 10 a.m. The Valley Forge, Bunker Hill, Milius and Thack will tie up at the 32nd Street Naval Station

Fame was surprisingly excellent! It was very sincere and the judges are very good. Carnie Wilson is one and the DJ from KISS LA. The talent is astounding and very serious. Check it out next Wednesday! Being a couch critic is fun ;)

There was an article in Thursday's NY Post about Clay's mom not being able to vote for Clay. She could NOT get thru......which begs the question of how Ruben's mom managed to vote for her son 200 times.
