Let me tell you a secret. A long time before you could read about it in any of these other newspapers or hear it on the radio, folks were breaking their gag orders and it was getting back to me that quite a few people from STL, including a somewhat prominent son and daughter, were in the running for American Idol.
You know I’m gonna get first drop on that dope. But I let it go. Why? Because I don’t give a flying fart about American Idol or any of this current craze of reality TV and talk shows and game shows and contests. I’m not hating on Aloha or Osbourne Jr., and I definitely ain’t doing no playa hating n I hope they go all the way to fame and fortune, since that seems to be what they want n I’m just sharing with you my preferences. I just didn’t care enough to accept it as good gossip from day one. And I’ve watched the stories get rolled out one by one like people had some precious jewel, and I’ve thought, “Swine, you can have your dime store costume jewelry pearl, I like diamonds myself.”
