10/26: George Huff in town this weekend
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I see season three finalist George Huff is at Cobb Energy Centre this weekend for the Gospel Superfest but I haven’t been able to find out when he actually appears. The web site is quite useless, providing no specific schedules. It appears to be taped for TV so that may be why the schedule is so sketchy.
And Ruben Studdard was in town Wednesday night for a Boys & Girls Club event giving Falcons player Alge Crumpler a Hall of Fame honor. I didn’t know about it til I read it in Peach Buzz this morning. But I already caught him a couple months ago for a Georgia Aquarium Boys & Girls Club-related event, too.
Some of that $75 million raised through “Idol Gives Back” money is going to South Africa. Five charities each received $5 million in Africa including an anti-AIDS education program, according to this AP story..
Every newspaper is reviewing Kelly Clarkson when she comes into town. Here’s the Washington Post’s take.
- The new songs didn’t have the melodies, hooks or sparkle to inspire anything other than tame foot-tapping and obligatory applause. But her catalogue of pop singles recorded since her 2002 “American Idol” win more than compensated for her newer, weaker material.*
Carrie is scheduled to sing the National Anthem for Game 3 of the World Series at Coors Field tomorrow night. The Rockies are partly owned by folks active in the beef industry but Carrie is vegetarian. The Rocky Mountain News attempts to mine some controversy over this.
And don’t forget to check out “The Next Great American Band” tonight or at least tape it. It’s worth it.
Have a great weekend!
