Tidbits 3/11

• Lycos 50 - Clay dropped from #2 last week to #20 this week! That's an 18 place drop! Not sure what happened, but we need to do some major searching!
• The Bubel Aiken Foundation press release announcing the Let's ALL Play grants that were handed out recently -

  The Bubel/Aiken Foundation, co- founded by entertainer Clay Aiken, announced over $500,000 in grants to support programs nationwide as part of the Foundation's Let's ALL Play program.
  
  This is an exciting development in The Bubel/Aiken Foundation's goal to expand Let's ALL Play. The Foundation will support over 30 recreational programs in 2008. Programs receive a program model and Foundation training in addition to grant funding. Because of the Foundation's support, children across the country will participate in inclusive programs for the first time.

  IPOD NIGHT
  We hear that Saints and Sinners hold their iPod night tonight. If you think your music library rocks, then plug your iPod into the sound system. Hit shuffle. If the crowd boos, then your iPod gets the boot -- so ditch the Celine and Clay Aiken before you go.

• National Post - a list of people who will "never" get into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame -

  5. Clay Aiken. And Kelly Clarkson. And Paula Abdul. And Randy Jackson. And anyone remotely associated with that nasty British cash cow Simon Cowell.

• Las Vegas Review Journal - "Invisible" a "creepy" song?

  Clay Aiken, "Invisible": The creepiest stalker anthem since The Police's "Every Breath You Take," this is the sound of restraining orders being drawn up. "If I was invisible, I could just watch you in your room," Aiken sings outside your bedroom window, fogging up the glass.
  
  Yikes. If you see this guy on your front lawn, turn on the sprinklers already.
