Tidbits 3/8

• Clay - The Man - looking back at the past fives years of the Clay nation
• Anew and Afresh - celebrating the "Ultimate Blog Party" with Clay Aiken -

  I know you're wondering about the music you hear and who that fellow is singing with the beautiful, pure voice. Why, that's Clay Aiken, my pretend boyfriend and the multi-million album-selling singer who spends much of his time lending his celebrity to wonderful causes like UNICEF and his own Bubel-Aiken Foundation, which promotes inclusion for children with disabilities, and who is currently starring in Monty Python's SPAMALOT on Broadway and getting rave reviews. If this party were a little later in the year, like after May 6, you'd be hearing his latest CD, which comes out on that date and is already on Amazon.com for pre-order. In less than 24 hours on Amazon, it is already the #1 best-selling CD. If your only knowledge of Clay is from American Idol, season two, you might be surprised what five years has done. ;)
