Couldn’t agree more Mary. The good thing is that the old version will always be on the CD for us to crank it up.
hey folk - guess who one of the top friends is on elliott’s myspace? marc broussard.
I totally loved LKL, but it made me think of makeup sex when Ryan came on. Like, OK, we know there have been some upset fans out there, about Simon, so we are going to fix that up right now, and we really love you, Taylor, even Simon. I do believe that Ryan does like Taylor…..and Fantasia and other idols, but Simon didn’t dare come on and apologize for his comments. So Ryan got the job.
madaboutu: Trust me. You are not the only one. I hope his people know what they are doing. His voice sounded AMAZING in the original version.
The new remix version: NOt as much. But again: That’s only our opinion right? Gosh, now I am having doubts about this version making it into the radio. I really hope it works out.
Did yall E-mail Larry King and tell him how much we enjoyed the Interview. Is that something we should do….yall are so much more savvy at knowing these things than I beez. Please write back
mad, I agree. Simon is an a$$! LK said he would ask Simon if he liked Taylor. Does that mean he is going to have him on the show?
Is anyone going to watch those guys on Jimmy Kimmel tonight? (The one Simon said looked like a bush monkey and the big guy.)
Just popping in to say I have tickets to see Taylor in Austin on 3/15 - at a Rodeo of all things. At least it’s in a covered arena that seats 6500. We got box seats so we can eat dirt during the rodeo part.
Sorry if this link has already been posted.

we are chatting, for those who care to join.
sharon8………you had to brag didn’t you?
Just kidding. I am jealous that you have your tickets and know you will have a seat.
Margie and maracaibo……yes, we will have to trust the team, and that includes Taylor. He said that he picked this song and he can listen back to it, so if he thinks it sounds better with all that breathing, OK. Hope it doesn’t bring up any “creepy” remarks from nonfans. I guess I have gotten too sensitive over the past few months because of the media.
coco, that is a good idea, postive feedback is always appreciated. I read either here or on GC that because of many requests the show will be repeated on Sunday so it does sound as if there has been some follow through.
Metta, if you are still here, I had to go to my book discussion group and just am getting caught up. Thanks for posting the video of Bo singing Vehicle. That was my favorite performance by him.
My coworker has a son who was four years old when Bo sang that and he went around the house singing I am your vehicle mommy, too funny.
madaboutu, OK, to be nice, I won’t even mention the tickets to the Ryman or B’ham.
When he comes all the way to your coast, I might get to meet you too!
Hey, maybe they can “re-mix” Dream Myself Awake and Give Me Tonight to sound more like Heart and Soul and In Your Time. You know, just change the lyrics and the music completely? :)
o it, so if he thinks it sounds better with all that breathing, OK. Hope it doesn’t bring up any “creepy” remarks from nonfans. I guess I have gotten too sensitive over the past few months because of the media.
I didn’t mean Taylor did anything wrong. Just things could get nasty. Nothing more.
cheese: Hey, maybe they can “re-mix” Dream Myself Awake and Give Me Tonight to sound more like Heart and Soul and In Your Time. You know, just change the lyrics and the music completely? :)
. OMFG! I had the same exact thought.

sharon8……..
I hate you! Getting real though, can you give any tips to get hold of tickets right away besides sleeping in front of some place? I can’t do that anymore……. 
A poster named alltheanswers said on grays that Taylor is going to be at alot of casinos. There are lots around L.A. But I think for those you have to go there to buy tickets, and can’t buy through Ticketmaster. Do you know anything about that?
Sharon8…. are you still here?? I just bought two box seats to the Austin show. Will e mail you tomorrow where we are sitting.
masaboutu ,,,, do you want to go to the Austin show??
I agree with you. This does feel like make or break for the CD. Its a friggin’ joke that he hasn’t had a single released to radio yet. Roll this J Records.
Sharon8 are you going to the Rymann???
terry……..so sweet of you to ask!!! I am in SoCalifornia and I am sure there will be several venues around, I just am afraid since they are smaller that they might sell out fast. Thanks anyway. Never been to Austin.
madaboutu, I would prefer a small seated venue but the “rodeo” will have to do for now. I am hoping to go to another show or two. I really don’t want to stand for 3 hours or more like at HOB in Houston. The concert in Austin is in the round…..UGH… I have been to this arena before and as rodeos go it is smallish.
Hey Terry,yes, I’m going to the Ryman and I have extra tickets. Want to go? Two women from Houston are riding with us - want to go with us too? Our seats are in section NO, row 6. Not a big selection available.
madaboutu, I wish I knew how to get tickets easy - I just sit at Ticketmaster at 10am and hope I can type fast enough! These Austin tickets are sold thru some University of TX ticket selling place online. I don’t think they were sold out yet, but they will be, I’m sure. Haven’t been in a casino in years. How on earth would someone not local grab a ticket? We’ll have to investigate that when his schedule goes up for CA. I’d love an excuse to go to CA.
Sad ,, there are so many great places in Austin and hthey book him into a arena that seats at least 6,500 people. Really a substandard venue IMHO But I am GOING
Sharon8 yes let me email you tomorrow about Ryman… My son and his family live in Mt Juliet a suburb of Nashville….. It sounds like fun…..
In Austin I am in box seats NO row 4…near you I think???
And we’ll be close enough to eat dirt! I expect the sound to be terrible, but my eyes will be seeing just fine. And it will probably be a new audience for him.
Terry, yes, we are 2 rows above you! We got 6 tickets, and row 4 didn’t have that many together. Too cool.
Sharon8 where are you sitting in Nashville??
Well, cool, there will be some of you all together in Austin. sharon8……..as for tickets at casinos in California, I need to check that out and see if that is the process at them all.to have to go to the venue to buy tickets. Griz, are you here? Have you found out anymore about Pechanga and how that works?
Oh check out this review at Amazon! The latest is from someone who said he saw an article in Vibe Magazine about Taylor so he decided to buy the album.
“It is a great mix of some good oldies, new groovy tunes, and some wonderful ballads. This boy can sing.”
Sharon8 Are your going to be able to watch the rodeo too or just the concert??? If there is a rodeo will Taylor be watching too?
I’m thinking Taylor will be coming to Portland OR– if you fly up for the concert make sure to email me.
I’m pretty sure I read that this venue will be a cut down to a Half Round config.
About the Thomas Daniel DUI and Hit and Run.
I’ve noticed in Portland alot of people get hit by cars. There are a lot of pedestrians in Portland, the streets always seem to be wet and it is usually dark or grey in the winter. I remember one night when there was a sudden rain storm during rush hour five people were hit by cars between 5 and 6.
Of course that doesn’t make what he did right. It just seems to happen more often in Portland.(Clackamas is a suburb of Portland)
Hi, I’m a lurker from Austin and I want to get tickets but am not sure about where the best seats might be at the Expo Center. Any tips would be much appreciated.
undecided,,,,,hope you are right and it is a more intimate setting. I have been there for a hockey game and it is a very basic arena.Fhe accoustics are non existent but I just couldn’t pass up the chance to see Taylor again.
Panlady, Go to the site and look at the seating diagram. It shows a full stadium but hopefully undecided is right and it wil be a half stadium. The diaram shows it as the stage in the center of the arena.
I’ve made a change to the site. The daily chat threads will be posted in the side bar rather than on the front of the blog. They should be easy to find. I think I may put the date in the title like “Saturday Jan 20 Chat Thread”
I bought kellies cd as soon as it came out and one as a gift. I truly love every song on it.
Found the new sidebar . so can I say first!!!
FYI…everyone is over at chat if you’re looking to talk
terry - have you been to Austin venue before?
Cool, a report on CNN (International) about all the Celebrity Big Brother hoopla in the UK is also showing shots of AI, and mostly Taylor.
i know this is kind of a late post but, to all the people that were talking about Taylor/Jaan Childs, ex-manager…for the record, Childs is NOT someone who “came out of the woodwork”…he worked with Taylor for nearly 10 years (Taylor has had a band since he was 16), worked his ass off, as a matter of fact - did all his bookings, put together demos, dragged him out of bed to after an all nighter, pounded the pavement with record companies trying to get him a record deal for years…not to mention, they were best friends from childhood. He did have a contract, but Childs, being a good friend, did not mention this to AI so Taylor could compete - thinking that surely Taylor would continue the relationship. Goes to show you - fame fogs your good sense. What goes around comes around.
