i don't have cable and i want to keep it that way. the only thing not 1970's about my apartment is that i have a computer. but it stows away nicely and doesn't scream "technical age" across my myriad of antiques and tchotckes.
anyway, as i went online to check my email, i found this clip on hulu. this good ole boy is being teased by nick cannon, and all three judges as just some redneck country boy on america's got talent (just call it star search for crying out loud).
he used to catch chickens, he's not "all that good at math" he says. the audience and judges eat it up. he is an unemployed farmer and he tells everyone he is to sing a song by garth brooks. everyone snickers. this guy is a genius. i can't tell if he knows what he's doing or not. does he have them eating out of his hand, is it a plan? or is he really just so unassuming, and down to earth?
anyway, this boys opens his mouth to sing and all i can say is get him off of this show and into nashville to make real country music again and not that pop country bullshit. don't play on his being on this show, don't take him to vegas, get him away from the l.a. pirhanas and just bring the boy to tennessee. sit him down with a guitar and let him go.
here's to ya, kevin skinner. here's hoping!
