9/19: What’s up with Kelly Stevens, formerly of B98.5
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Kelly Stevens, former co-host of the Kelly & Alpha show on B98.5 before being replaced in July by Steve & Vikki, took a 13 day, 13 state 4,153-mile trip on a Harley up to Maine and back earlier this month. He hit the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Shenandoah Valley and Niagara Falls. He made it to the Eastern most point of Maine. “I saw the sun rise before anybody else!” he said. He also sampled his first lobster roll.
Stevens, who went into alcohol rehab in the spring and has been clean for six months, said he found the trip peaceful and pleasant.
He did hit a road bump at the Canadian border. He went over to Canada to take some pictures and when he met up with customs going back into the States, he told them honestly he was taking pictures of the border. “That was probably a mistake,” he said. “This guy drove all the way from Atlanta to take pictures?” The customs officials detained him for an hour and interrogated him. He showed them his digital pictures to prove how harmless he was and they bought his story.
Kelly & Alpha have hired an agent (Glenn Goldstein, who used to rep Jimmy Baron) and are seeking radio jobs, either here or anywhere else. Nowadays, Kelly says he’s going to a lot of AA meetings while he figures Alpha is playing lots of golf.
Kelly might also make a trip to the West Coast.
“I’m getting paid to stay home,” he noted. “I’ll never have this opportunity again.”
-The top 5 on “America’s Got Talent” were not surprisng. I placed Kaitlyn Maher at No. 5 over Neal E. Boyd simply because I liked her better. I’m not surprised he beat her out. The rest of my top 5 made it in, including both opera singers (Donald Braswell, too), Nuttin But Strings, Queen Emily and Eli Mattson. Before next week’s finale performances, here are my odds to win the $1 million:
1-Nuttin But Strings: 40%
2-Neal E. Boyd: 25%
3-Queen Emily: 20%
4-Donald Braswell 8%
5-Eli Mattson 7%

IS this show ever going to end - I watched for a while but it just keeps going - I’m not watching again until they announce the winner - if then!
