  Whether you are partial to the Annette Bening days, or a fan of the emo-beatle hair phase, everyone's favorite Presidential advisor and American Idol runner up is playing a show at the Greek this Saturday. LAist has one pair of tickets for one lucky person (or their lucky mom).

All ye devoted fans, let us now know the power of your love of Clay. Put it in poetry, punk. Register to comment and comment to win. Contest ends Friday 8/3 at 11am. Best haiku wins.
