Comments on: Idol Headlines for 10/06/07 http://www.mjsbigblog.com/idol-headlines-for-100607.htm American Idol - I Love This Cheesy Show Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:45:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Lu http://www.mjsbigblog.com/idol-headlines-for-100607.htm/comment-page-4/#comment-90238 Lu Sun, 07 Oct 2007 14:32:51 +0000 http://mjsbigblog.com/idol-headlines-for-100607.htm#comment-90238 For my Taylor friends here- My questions about Taylor's "platinum" comment were not meant to imply anything hegative. I merely was trying to clarify his comment. Being a single mom with two young kids and a pretty demanding job, I have a very busy life and can't always remember things that were posted here months ago. So if I offended any of you, I'm sorry. I was trying to discuss - not accuse. Apparently some here thought I was calling Taylor a liar. I guess I need to just stick to commenting on what I know and not asking questions if the expectation is that you're supposed to retain everything that's posted here. Again, if I offended anyone, I apologize. For my Taylor friends here-

Hope y'all are doing well, and JJ, hope the guitar lessons paid off. I would imagine that you're rippin' power chords with ease by now...:) Taylor isn't exactly the master of articulation in interviews, but he has penned some good lyrics in the past so I'm looking forward to his next album. On the RIAA victory, hopefully they won't make the defendant pay the full $222,000 in damages. I don't understand why they don't just encode CD's so they can't be ripped, thus avoiding these time consuming lawsuits against the little guy. I see that I missed Dingo and JJ.

The concert was great! I love that venue, too. :) Just caught up on the thread.

Never ship wine from South Africa. It's a bitch to pick up when it hits the US, especially when one does not drive on interstates. Just sayin... Hey, Lu! The concert was great!

Saw that video and now more than ever, not worried at all about Taylor. Never was, but this should put to rest that he knows the business and knows what he is doing. (Just my opinion) Pixie ..
