Why I didn't, either
I couldn't pass up the chance to respond to Joel Davis' essay titled "Idol Chatter" (clever, huh?) in this week's issue of Sacramento News & Review.
For those of you who missed it: Joel, with his razor-sharp wit, has written an entire tome on all things he hates - yet has never sampled, read, visited or seen. For example, foie gras, Sidney Sheldon books, the state of Florida and NASCAR.
But the central focus of his vitriol is itty-bitty "American Idol," the show he most hates - but has never watched. He prattles on, something about "Simon sez," and then goes after The Bee's resident "Idol" reporter. That would be me. To wit: "...the local daily even has a reporter covering the show itself. (No wonder circulation is down; get off your Idol ass and find a local story ...)."
Here's the thing. Yes, I do love the show and I do watch it - on my derriere, no less. And Joel, while I didn't read your essay - someone e-mailed a snippet to me - I hate it anyway.
Thanks, though, for the free plug to my blog.
Now, don't we all feel better? I know I do!
