If anyone wonders why Taylor says he is channeling Gram Parsons along with Elvis in his Teen Angel portrayal, this thread on the boogie discusses the late country-rock pioneer and his fondness for Nudie suits, the flamboyant suits favored by Parsons, and even more famously, Porter Wagoner.

I just listened to this audio and Im sooooooo excited for the mention! We truly do rock as NESP!
Now, back to the interview--didnt Taylor sound great? He sounds so happy and so contented with what is happening in his life now that it makes me smile. Im so proud of him!
Who mentioned in this thread about a concert? Hmmm? Id love to get in on the planning of that extravaganza!
Thanks Tricia for posting the audio link!

Just now, after playing David Cook's "Time of My Life", Mike said "We had Season 5 Winner Taylor Hicks on yesterday." One disk jockey at a time...

Fall Colors Special

As Mother Nature's tapestry unfolds, join us this fall and enjoy the stunning colors on a horse-drawn carriage ride and a scenic chairlift ride with lunch at the Top o' Quad Restaurant high on the slopes of Bretton Woods!
Even if you don't stay at the Mt. Washington Hotel, you can stop and have a cold drink, sit on the back porch and enjoy the amazing view.

Here's a piece from the Broadway.com interview where he talks about the costume.
Your costume is quite different from the all-white suit that was used before. How did that come about?
I just thought about the part and the time period. A rock-and-roll angel in the '50s made me think of the Nudie suits [flamboyant, rhinestone-studded cowboy suits created by Nashville tailor Nudie Cohen] that country-and-western stars like Bob Wills and Porter Wagoner used to wear. I thought: Nudie suit leads to Gram Parsons leads to Teen Angel. And I thought it would be a cool idea to incorporate the angel wings in rhinestones. Martin Pakledinaz, the costume designer for the show, was exceptional in talking with me about the outfit, and his creativity just took off. It's a beautiful suit, and I think it looks great for me and the part I'm playing, especially with the embroidered rhinestone angel wings on the back.
