Back from the beyond

Post – July 17, 2002

In the grand tradition of you-want-to-look-away-but-you-can’t pop culture events like the Anne Heche interview, I couldn’t stop myself from watching “American Idol” last night.

Yes, I took the bullet for all of you.

And even more embarrassing is that I actually enjoyed myself. Although it probably would have been more entertaining to watch the earlier episodes, when people of even more dubious talent were no doubt showcased. I thought even some of the finalists had mediocre voices (especially front-runner Justin Guarini, who seems to have earned his spot by turning Paula Abdul to quivering jelly). But the best ones were great, like Tamyra Gray and my favorite, the endearingly wacky Kelly Clarkson.

Come on. You’ve watched it too. Admit it.

    No, I have not, so I’m not going to admit it. But I did read every bit of the EW article.

    Just so you’re aware, Adam, The Time Machine will be out on video next week. Thought you might want to reserve an advance copy, just to beat the rush.
