This is an experiment - - - -
when I found this in my Alerts I wasn't sure if it was "thread worthy" or not - a nice story but only minor Taylor news - and I get a lot of "bits" like this through my alerts and also find things tucked into threads on other sites - so decided to try this approach - keeps the main category uncluttered but provides a place for little "bits" - -
please add things you find and we'll see how it goes 
Another notch in the karma wheel - - - - -
When "American Idol" Taylor Hicks takes the stage July 8 to perform at the Loudoun Summer Music Fest, he will also take the stage to help out Taylor Love, a 2-year-old who is battling cancer.
A special raffle will take place that night with a prize of meeting the 2006 American Idol after the show.

This is another one of those "sorta news" things that came in under blog alerts - if you follow it through it is the same Paramount interview that has been posted and is showing up in a number of publication alerts - it is a nice piece for Taylor so that is a good thing
posted this because I find it very intriguing that Taylor is showing upon this site which would be gettiing traffic primarily for Kelly Clarkson - -
this is the 2nd Taylor linked with Kellie item I've rec'd - - figured the first one was a fluke but now I'm not so sure - -
obviously pure speculation but could we possibly have a little Idol alumni promotion going on ? ? ?
That is unusually linked through that Kelly Clarkson site, but what a nice little article. Thanks for posting it.
UPDATE on the Dan Aykroyd & Taylor sing-a-long courtesy of Josh again
"Turn on Your Love Light" was Dan's choice and the band was told to be prepared to do it
"Who Do You Love " was impromptu
You just never know what is going to show up in the blog alerts - can be tiresome to wander through but sometimes the blind pig finds an acorn - - - -
This one isn't remotely news but it is amusing so . . . . .
God Bless Abraham Lincoln, Lance Armstrong, George Washington, Taylor Hicks, and Chris Wheeler.

The Greatest moment in American Sports History
By Pacman(Pacman)
The announcers gave quite possibly the best quotes of all time. Here were some of the best:
“If Joey Chestnut wins this competition, Google the word hero tomorrow, you’ll get Lincoln, Neil Armstrong, Taylor Hicks, and Chestnut.” Yes, they called Taylor Hicks an American Hero.
