I know this will seem kind of lame to seem of you, and believe me when I say I am of the same school of thought generally, but seeing someone you went to school with on TV tends to temporarily change your veiws on a certain show.
A guy I went to school with in England is one of the top two on American Idol right now. I never watched that show or followed it until this season at the week of the top 12. I heard a name on the radio that I recognized. Bo Bice. I got curious and called my dad to look it up since I was driving. Sure enough it is the Bo we know. I just have to brag on him. His being on TV has brought a bunch of us back in contact, its really cool. We have been talking abd remebering his performances from back in the day and our times together. Its awsome.
I actaully started watching the show. Though I have to admit, I never really watched the whole thing. I still don't like the show enough to do that. I only watch for Bo. The top 2 are competing tonight and all of these people, the world over are tuning in to watch one of our (meaning LCHS) own. I don't know if anyone else if following, and I don't mean to start a debate on who should win, merits and downfalls of each contestant, and all that mess, I am seriously just bragging on Bo. Our old band and choir teacher from 10 years ago, is bubbling with anticipation, he is still in england so he doesn't get the show until 2 day late. It will kill me not to tell him. Anyway, good luck to them both, at this point they both have it made. And my fellow Bobcat is singing his heart out still.
