Only freaking picture I could find...and you people call yourself fans?! For shame!
(Note to non-fans: that's Gokey on the far left in our pocketed Burnout Deep V-Neck.)
When I turned on my computer this morning, something very strange happened: a river came rushing out of my monitor, flooding my desk, my papers, my floor. After a little online fishing (and about a million paper towels), I discovered the torrent's source: it was the tears of the blogosphere (blogotears?) mourning the loss of American Idol contestant Danny Gokey, who sang his final AI numbers last night.
Moments later, one of my coworkers approached me, chin quivering, mascara running down her face. I ask her what's wrong, and she tells me: "Danny Gokey," she trembles, "was wearing the 2632 on Idol last night...just before he *sniff* he got kicked off!" She apologizes and runs to the bathroom, where she's been for the past 45 minutes. We had to turn up the Muzak to drown out the sobs.
In a perfect world, I'd insert a snarky/witty comment here, but it appears this is a sensitive issue, and I have learned over the years that, yes, there is such a thing as a too-soon joke. So I'll just have to leave it here, pleased to see Alternative on Idol once again!
