[TGB!]

HICKS will no doubt release a deep south soul album (which cant be called anything BUT SOUL PATROL), and easily could make one in the same vein as DMB, Blues Traveler, even a lil Counting Crows (with some more legitimacy behind his sound). To assume because you dont like the kind of music HICK's sings - that he cant be succesful is a little wonky.

As for the IDOL SCHEDULE - that shows me NYCK that your rants are just that - rants. The two hour season finale EXTRAVAGANZA is the ONLY results show that has been longer than 30 minutes. I dont know where this "OMGWTFBBQ" 3 hour plus shit came from but - like your manhood - it isnt rooted in reality.

IDOL kills in the ratings and boosts new/struggling shows. But FOX isnt going to overkill their baby - and they know how to get people suckling on the teat. Just admit it - this is your driving a 2006 American Bandwagon, "I Hate American Idol" styled.
