I am the proud owner of three tickets to see Taylor in Ferndale, Michigan. I would kick myself a thousand times if I said no to this. Tif, Misfit, you hear me?
*video credit: Collins316? It’s been on my hard drive too long to remember. But thank you so much to whomever put this on youtube.

I’ve already asked for the night off!

hmm, it’s not really that far a drive from Chicago, is it? Can’t decide if I can spare the vacation …
chill // May 14, 2009 at 9:01 pm
Yes, you can spare the vacation! Let’s go. I’ll drive.
chill // May 14, 2009 at 9:05 pm
I’ve been waiting for this a long time. I put “off” on the calendar at work for those two days, but no one that matters has seen it yet.
I’m keeping low-key about it.
chill // May 14, 2009 at 9:07 pm
Kapahulu, 4 hours. Piece of cake.

You have got to listen to this.
Taylor and Charles Barkley on Rick and Bubba this morning.
Taylor and Charles spent the night together in Arizona.

I’m listening now, henry. I love this guy! He’s my second favorite basketball player — of course, Michael Jordan is #1. This is hilarious.
chill // May 14, 2009 at 9:29 pm
LOL!!! “He makes a good living being a prick.” I love him even more now!
henry8 // May 14, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Wasnt’ that great? I love Charles Barkley. lol

That didn’t say all I thought it did. The guy had twittered that he had finished a shoot with Taylor Hicks. So Taylor will be on the show I imagine.
henry8 // May 14, 2009 at 9:56 pm
Heres another online request form that has Taylor on the list. Don’t have to type him in.
You don’t have to request 5 songs. I usually do two or three.

I’ve been listening to this station tonight, they had a advice show on along with the music.
Don’t think I ever heard a country station advice show before.
henry8 // May 14, 2009 at 10:16 pm
I guess everybody went to bed.
My favorite acoustic.
Taylor had a fever and bad throat that night, but still did well. I just love the song.
chill // May 14, 2009 at 10:25 pm
Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan were on Oprah one time, it was the funniest thing I had ever seen. They ragged on each other through the segment and it was hilarious. If you go to Oprah’s site, you can search for video, just type in Barkley and Jordan.
Henry, Twitter is coming in quite handy, isn’t it? High-tech legalized stalking.
chill // May 14, 2009 at 10:27 pm
We were there that night, henry!
jerseyirish // May 15, 2009 at 6:28 am
Funny interview, they “spent the night together” and loved the Simon prick comments so true!!
Loved the video Chill, really nice.

Cool interview with this radio station in Seattle this morning. You should see the podcast on this page.
http://www.kmps.com/pages/1939711.php?
Taylor mentioned that he had just gave them the single. Its a listen online station , if anyone listens and wants to request at some point I would imagine they could.
jerseyirish // May 15, 2009 at 2:02 pm
Here’s another interview from this morning the interivewer gets all flusterred talking to him, cute:

Henry, Had put on the other thread that my daughter said she would call kson today and listen as I wouldn’t be here. She called and spoke with Brooks. She was surprised that my daughter requested SMB and asked her how old she was. She told her 19 and that she has grown to like Taylor’s music and espcecailly SMB because I am a fan of his music. She told her she just happened to be in my office when the lunch request was announced. She told her she thought it would be cool to request the song for me. Brooks said she would do her best to get it on. Kayla listened but at the last 15 mts the dog started going nuts and she had to take her out, she said she’s not sure they played it. She said she would call again Monday and tell Brooks what happened with the dog and request again. So we will see what happens!

Same one you put up JI, want to be sure everyone sees it. Lola is a hoot.
Wish they all loved him so much.
Has Taylor even closed his eyes since he hit Seattle?
And thanks to your daughter, hope she trys it again, nothing like persistance. Hes going to get played , at least some. Lolas going to play it.
There is supposed to be a second part to this, I’ll keep my eyes open for it.
jerseyirish // May 15, 2009 at 3:38 pm
Henry, Two’s better than none. I looked for the second half but couldn’t find anything, maybe something will pop up later.
My daughter said she would call again, that Brooks was very nice to her, and seemed impressed by her age that she liked Taylor and made the call.
JI
henry8 // May 15, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Don’t doubt that JI, do you think we could bribe some more young ones to make a call.
Maybe she did play it at the end of the show. I probably would have turned the dog loose to fend for himself.
Apparently Lola put this on yes.com
Lola from the radio station said the camera messed up so as soon as they got it straightened out it would be put up. These were here words on Yes .com as she left the air waves.
lolagranola
im so blessed to be in a position to help TAYLOR…thank you LORD.
Thank YOU, Lola.
jerseyirish // May 15, 2009 at 4:36 pm
Henry, Already on that one, I asked Kayla before she left for work that maybe we could recruit a few of her friends to call and request. If they see some young ones interested maybe they would put it on. She is going out after work with a bunch of her friends tonight and said she didn’t think any of them would hesitate to do it. I gave her a bunch of copies of the phone number and told her to have them call about 3:00 during the week. If they asked if they were loyal listeners that they were calling to dedicate it to me who is a loyal listener. All we can do is try!
Wow, That was really nice of Lola, she really seemed taken by him and he did his best to keep her calm. Hope they get the rest of it up later.

rosem15 // May 15, 2009 at 6:06 pm
I watched Tay and Lola and i believe she is the one who posted last week she was all a twitter to have him on her show. Perhaps if more DJs were women of her age, Tay would be played around the clock. I think Taylor mentioned to her he did the 4 hr sleep thing. He also had to deal with jet lag twice in one week, but as he mentioned to her energectic is one of his strong qualities.
jerseyirish // May 15, 2009 at 6:18 pm
Rosie, Thought it was a really cute interview, she was all jumpy and he was a calm as a cucumber. He must have something going on to keep the schedule he keeps. Someone on Twitter just said he sang the Anthem at the Mainers game a little while ago. I didn’t hear or see anything on that. He sure gets around!
JI
rosem15 // May 15, 2009 at 6:18 pm
Henry8, I agree with you. I like the way Tay worked the camera on Idol and how now and then he flirts with it in interviews.
jerseyirish // May 15, 2009 at 6:29 pm
Did you guys see this review of TD, someone put it up on Twitter pretty good!

henry8 // May 15, 2009 at 6:35 pm
JI, I think they said Mariners game at 7:10.
that would be 10:10 your time so maybe he hasn’t sang yet.
He could sing the anthem at 7:10 and be back in time to do his song at Grease if they aren’t too far apart. They don’t always show the anthem tho, so who knows if anyone will capture it.
I swear hes going to fall over, he hit the ground running when he got back from Birmingham and hasn’t stopped yet.
Makin me tired.
Yeah, rosie, I thought he was working the camera on purpose.
jerseyirish // May 15, 2009 at 7:00 pm
Henry, I have the link still I’ll listen for awhile and see if it comes on. I keep saying don’t know how he keeps up, he has to go on sheer nerves sometimes. But he always looks like he is having fun his smile says it all!

jerseyirish // May 15, 2009 at 7:47 pm
Someone just put this up at twitter and interview today on fox:

henry8 // May 15, 2009 at 9:01 pm
Just saw that one JI, Good Lord, he was everywhere.
I’m not sure I’m believing the anthem thing, he would have had to run like the wind to make that, but then I wouldn’t doubt it.
Did you see the latest twitter.
“Cone Ranger rides again”
I think hes gettin punchy. Hahahaha
chill // May 15, 2009 at 10:51 pm
Man, you guys left me a lot to look at and listen to. Where do I start? haha Cone Ranger! God, I love that guy. I think I’ll start with Lola’s interview. Sounds fun.
henry8 // May 15, 2009 at 11:04 pm
Thats the best Chill, so funny.
supposed to be a second part but nothing yet.
Best part, Lola is in charge of what music is played at that station.
You and I may be the only people awake in Taylor land. Haven’t seen hide nor hair of anybody.
chill // May 15, 2009 at 11:31 pm
I love Lola! She was a bit flustered, wasn’t she? haha! Just great. And he sure was playing up the camera.
And his favorite country singer is George Jones! That’s who my dad would listen to — Hello Walls. So Part II hasn’t been put up yet?
chill // May 15, 2009 at 11:32 pm
Nice to see you, my fellow die-hard.
chill // May 15, 2009 at 11:35 pm
Wow, and that review of The Distance was phenomenal. I’m going back there to find other things she’s written. I like her style.
jerseyirish // May 16, 2009 at 6:05 am
Got booted off my computer by my son last night, he had any early day today and wanted to use mine for awhile.
Chill, That review was fantastic. This person started to follow me yesterday on twitter, they were the one that put up the interview, him singing the anthem, and the fox interview. Don’t know who they are but they seem to have alot of info.
Henry, Didn’t hear anything about him singing last night either. After I saw the fox interview I thought no way could he fit anything else in, but he never ceases to amaze me by what he can do in such a short period of time.
