Tidbits 4/10

• Arbiter Online: AI article says "I mean, look what they did with Clay Aiken. One minute he's a geeky guy with ill-fitted glasses, and the next he's a pop superstar with highlights. They transformed him into a teenybopper's dream, and though he lost to Ruben Studdard, Aiken is the more famous one. And it's all because of the highlights."

My heart melted all over and I cry just listening to him sing with passion.....A.Stanul.,Ocala, Fl"
