Not Hung up on 'good' music

Last weekend I wasn't really in the mood to hear anyone sing. So I went to see William Hung instead.

Ba dum bum.

OK, easy joke. But I did go see William Hung perform at R.C. Hill Mitsubishi in DeLand Saturday and not because I'm a fan. I went for a far more justifiable reason: a friend of mine in Boston is obsessed with "American Idol" and I figured nothing would simultaneously cheer and terrify him more than an autograph from that show's most famous washout.

I'd quote one of Hung's covers to show how much I enjoyed the article, but I think that would be taken as an insult.

"Where did you see William Chang?" she asked.

That's the kind of fame that lasts forever.

Pitiful.

Speaking as the friend in Boston, I think I felt the desired combination of sincere appreciation and revulsion on finding out what to expect in the mail. [Smile]

You know, Ron had a Dread Zepplin CD, and he's always singing "Baby Got Back" in the Richard Cheese style. It slays me.

I think you'd like him.

Posted by Storm Saxon (Member # 3101) on :

Just say no to Richard Cheese.

I've managed to give up on my hopeless crush on Olivet and have decided to develop a crush on Ron.

Posted by Olivet (Member # 1104) on :

I do, but I can't say no to Ron. [Razz]

It's good for a chuckle, since Ron's voice is more of that type than suited to the rap he likes to listen to.

Posted by Olivet (Member # 1104) on :

LOL

He's MINE. *growls*

But I think we'd have a lot of fun if we all got together. (Once Ron decided that you weren't 'crazy internet people' that he keeps hearing about [Big Grin]

)
