OT FOR CLAY, BUT ELLIOT YAMIN FROM AMERICAN IDOL WAS IN CHILE WHEN THE EARTHQUAKE HIT. HERE ARE SOME OF HIS TWITTER POSTS AT THE TIME. HE MENTIONS THAT HE WAS GOING TO BE INTERVIEWED FOR SOME OF THE TELEVISION CHANNELS AFTERWARDS.

Tried and True
Tried and True…Tested and proven to be worthy and good
(Merriam Webster)

It has a nice ring to it. It’s one of the phrases that sounds like what it means. It’s also a contradiction in the feel of its sound. Kind of hard and soft at the same time.

 Clay Aiken has announced that his upcoming album will be a collection of songs from the 50’s and 60’s. The songs like the album title are tried and true. To some people they are classics, to others “oldies” with memories. But to some, they will be new. In fact, thanks to the touch of Chris Walden, we may just be in for an audio version of “everything old is new again”.

THIS WAS ALSO PICKED UP BY RICKY.ORG WITH A COMPLIMENT TO CLAY:

Clay Aiken gave a speech at the Human Rights Campaign Carolinas Dinner. Impressive! It’s about damn time a gay American Idol alumni spoke out publicly in support of gay rights – instead of being ambiguous about where they stand and just using the gay rights movement when convenient to further their personal ambitions.

Good job Clay!

Hello, ANN!  :wave

The new Carolina blog is all about Clay's HRC speech in Raleigh Saturday night:

Quote
Clay Aiken's speech at the Human Rights Campaign Carolinas Gala in Raleigh Saturday was eloquent, passionate, and even sprinkled with his trademark humor as he outlined the long, arduous path preceding major civil rights milestones, most often achieved when "it was about damn time."
