Chris Botti Apologizes to Clay

You may have recalled that Clay attended a Chris Botti concert earlier this month in North Carolina. Botti did not know that Clay was in attendance and he made a speech at that concert saying that American Idol was ruining music.

On Jan. 27, at his Prescott, AZ concert, Botti issued an apology to Clay according to this LiveJournal post.

Chris did his usual speel about kids & music & how American Idol is ruining music for kids, making them think they can have instant fame and not have hours and hours of practice and how he was giving this same speech a few shows ago and Clay Aiken was in the audience (thought of you there Allie!) and that he apologized to Clay, but Clay agreeed with his point.
