Thanks for the pics Doc! A singing competition? Sounds like you may have had to deal with some stressed out people? Some yes, some no........most are quite well behaved.......but I absorb the undercurrents of everyone's stress around me and have to find a way to discharge it harmlessly somewhere else.......... I heard a lot of really good singing............. All in all, I played better last year.............but one forges ahead hoping for the best. I go back next year. I chant: "In 2007, I must play like heaven......" Of course, my role is to support the singer to the fullest (not necessarily loudest) way possible, and I think of this only with every measure.......... But occassionally something goes awry--------one girl forgot the next lyric, and without losing a beat, turned to smile in my direction as she silently mouthed "help".......... I whispered two syllables and she was back on the horse............ She never made a mistake in the rehearsals.......... Stress can wear on the mind.............. Hmmmm.........that explains my condition..............oh, for a month on the beach........... |

;D As long as you don't leave us for American Idol, replacing Simon Cowell on judging.... That was just awful, puhfectly DREADFUL. That was the WUHST performance I have ever heard---I don't know what I we are going to do with you. I see a life of cruise ships and hotel lobbys in your future. Horrendous. Stop it--just stop it, stop it right now. I can't go on listening to that noise. Are you serious? Why did you come here today? Do you actually for a minute imagine yourdelf to be Idol material? You are completely out of tune; you don't know the melody and your diction is deplorable. You are worse than a bad second rate talent show contestant at a middle school in a backwater. Who told you that you could sing? Well, you can't. If I wuh you, I wouldn't even sing around deaf persons just in case their hearing came back during your song. They'd decide they had it better the other way. Just practicing. I dunno, I am still not quite mean enough. Interesting. Being that cruel takes practice and determination. |

;D ;D Have you ever seen some of those episodes of American Idol when all they show is the terrible ones?  After sitting all day listening to idiots attempt to sing, or walk in with hideous costumes and think they are talented, you would learn how to say mean things.  Think about it, all day like the Gong Show....Yep, you'd find your way to mean....  BTW, you look quite debonair in that tux.   |

I see your point about dealing with auditions---especially the fact that it is is all day and many days! And Simon, Paula and Randy do well not to lose their minds...... Especially considering the audacity, lack of humility, and baseless bravura with which so many of them "act out" to the panel. I used to think Simon's "directness" was excessive, but I have migrated right on over to a feeling of agreement with his candor. Really, Simon does these neophytes a favor and teaches a sorely missed lesson in "what time it is" to these folks. They NEED to know where their abilities stand in the grand scheme of things, what they lack, and how to be dignified when they lose. Oh, and thanks about the penguin suit. Basic black hides a multitude of sins. Let me stress "multitude." |

I'm thinkin' Dr.Robert may have sent his stunt-double to sweat it out onstage while the real Doc was at home sippin' Baileys!

:oAre you saying that Doc has a double? Or he has been "replaced"? Get out the photo comparisons...... Regarding the Simon Cowell-ness...I agree, I have grown to appreciate his comments and criticisms. These buffoons need to be humiliated in front of the TV world that they do NOT have talent. If they pick a horrendous song and mutilate it further with a hideous version, they need to be told. The crowd boos, but he's right 99 % of the time. Paula Abdul is too candy coated and when I hear her comments, I need a shot of insulin...and I'm not diabetic.... Men in black...not because of being mysterious..but covering a multitude of sins.....good one, that's what every woman knows..... ;D ..but not sure if that was applicable to Johnny Cash.....we are off topic so that's what you get. From Simon Cowell to DOC was Replaced...to Johnny Cash...

Hey Doc, remember that story a few months ago I kidded you about, the "pianoman" who was found wandering around a beach? He had amnesia, and when asked his name, he would only draw a picture of grand piano.. hmm.. ;D

 Missing piano man  .....found at the beach...here we go by the water once again...  As long as we don't see Doc frolicking at the beach with a dwarf on a bicycle built for two... I don't think we are ready to see that visual image... ...and we especially don't want to see you doing an impersonation of Vivian Stamshell... Haven't we seen enough here? ...and we can't imagine seeing you wearing press on ears, noses, or lips......  ....
