Ok, I have a couple of posts rolling arond in my head, but have not had time to put them down what with the SSC, BSC, softball, church, etc...so let me take a moment to chime in on the AI craze (of course, before this season AI always stood for Allen Iverson, but we give and we take).
I am a fan of American Idol, so is my wife...although she supasses me in allegiance to the show. You see I declared AI dead-to-me after Chris was eliminated...what a travesty.
Anywho, back to the story...the season finale was last night (during church) and like good little 21st century TV watchers, we used the DVR to make sure we didn't miss a thing. After church we even went to a restaurant with no TVs to make sure we wouldn't inadvertantly hear the results before we got home. Overall I give the show high marks...good variety on the guest stars (although we could have done without Meatloaf's awkward performance...that was painful)...and decent numbers for the eliminated that were making their comeback to the show.
The highlight of the show for me was the surprise appearance of the purple one...Prince. Laura was so surprised by his appearance that she nearly kicked over the TV tray beside the chair :)
Now, I've always been a Prince fan, at least since 1999 (the album, not the year). Prince is a strange character to say the least. Great artist, but for the longest he only sang about 2 things...sex or God, interesting combination. He's been around for a long time and has had more hits than I can count, but apparently I had forgotten how old he was...and how old I am...when I heard people having to explain to their teenagers who Prince was. That really took me by surprise. Who doesn't know who Prince is? Diamonds and Pearls was my soundtrack for a summer in college.... what about the Revolution...the NPG...Prince's Purple Rain was my very first cassette. I got it when I turned 13 years old...
Ok, ok...I guess I should have known...afterall it's been a few years since college and even more since I was 13. Oh well, sing on Prince (now that you apparently have cleaned up your songs a bit)...you're cool enough for a whole new generation :)

yaaaaayyyyy! A new post!!! I second that about prince. Definitely still cool. perhaps making a major comeback? ok maybe not major...I am sure other members join me when they say thanks for the ssc shout out!!!
1) I can't believe you mentioned the SSC on the world wide web.
2) I hurt my toe when I kicked the TV tray in my excitement over the Prince appearance.
3) I love Prince.
Goins, out.
What's the SSC?
Maybe Prince can have a come back album named "Purple Revolution"
i TOTALLY agree with the whole chris thing. i seriously considered not watching after he was eliminated. seriously, i almost cried. BUT, as a hardcore american idol fan, of course i still watched it. i guess i'm glad taylor won, but i love chris. i will definately buy his cd. anyway, i like prince too, but he's a little old for me, but i like older music so it's cool. post again.
Prince on a comeback? I wasn't aware that the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer with the #1 album in the country and the completely sold-out U.S. tour had gone anywhere.
Yeah... when i you have to ask a girl before a date if she was even born in the 80s.... and they graduate highschool in the 2000s... YIKKES!!
As far as Prince, I CAN TOTALLY jam out! I have the 2CD greatest hits! If all you know is Purple Rain and Little Red Corvette, you are not a fan!
