Red Leader, Standing By
Christmas is still 37 days away but I’ve been listening to Kelly Clarkson’s Wrapped in Red Radio Special and loving it. The show was made available to radio professionals by a service called Play MPE®. Stations all across the country will … Continue reading
It Ain’t the Meat…
The TV listings for Thursday night confused me. Michael J. Fox’s new show was on for an hour, while Robin Williams’ new show was only on for half an hour. Somehow all the promos over the summer had given me … Continue reading
Cool as a Cucumber
When Kellie Pickler was on “American Idol,” she competed against such (now) big names as Chris Daughtry and Katharine McPhee and medium names such as Ace Young, Mandisa and Elliott Yamin. Inexplicably, they all lost to Taylor Hicks. Pickler is … Continue reading

A Canadian band called Walk off the Earth has been racking up big numbers on YouTube with a cover of “I Knew You Were Trouble.” They uploaded the video on New Year’s Day. It caught my attention because they do the … Continue reading

Angel Leona Higgs competed on “American Idol” in 2005 and appeared on the show again when one of her students competed in 2008. I had the pleasure of introducing her over the massive public-address speakers at Boomsday on Sunday before … Continue reading

Screwy, Ballyhooey
Hollywood week is my favorite part of “American Idol.” To me, the early auditions drag on too long and Hollywood week doesn’t get enough air time. This year, Fox is promising “the most intense Hollywood week in the history of … Continue reading
Relapsing McPheever
They say that ” Smash” is like “Glee” for grown-ups. It’s actually better than that. My interest was piqued by the frequent promos, which inexplicably say “introducing Katharine McPhee.” She was on “American Idol” six years ago. The series debuts … Continue reading

A man approached the Star 102.1 van during my remote broadcast on Sunday. He was carrying a file folder. I was watching from across the parking lot of US Cellular and wondered aloud if he planned to drop off a … Continue reading
No Contest
A Twitter post from Don Geronimo summed up my feelings exactly. Just when I am weaned on AmerIdol (didn’t even watch the Sinatra shows), I’m realizing I am looking 4ward to DWTS. Gay Gay Gay Gay, I know. “American Idol” … Continue reading
Biblical Proportion
If “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” were not already a famous Broadway show, you could have easily convinced me that it was written expressly for the Miracle Theater. The production and the venue are a perfect fit for one … Continue reading
