AIKEN NEWS NETWORK, SEPTEMBER 4

[PHILLYLUVSCLAY]

GOOD MORNING....

The often-historically minded "American Idol" has twice had Manilow as its special guest, for a theme-night focus, performance and coaching session. The first time, Manilow made a stylistic connection with Clay Aiken that worked out well for both guys, with a lot of cross-pollination of fans. "I'm Barry Manilow . . . this is what Clay Aiken will look like in 30 years," Manilow would later kid in concert.

Okay, I think I got too much time on my hands right now....

Do you know what numerlogy is? It's the study of numbers that predict your future much like the horoscope. what you do is add the numbers up from your date of birth.

Let's use Clay for example...

11/30/1978 = 1+1+3+0 +1+9+7+8 = 30

3+0= 3

Clay is 3

    Hey Philly

Yea, it was real interesting and almost uncanny how much it fit Clay.

By the way, I think we need another tour.  The board is so quiet but I guess we are all reliving this summer--and I guess there could we worse ways to spend our time.  That and waiting to see what else might be added for Christmas.  It seems like you could throw a blanket over some of the venues already announced, they are so close together.
