The Town's Gone Mad
Seriously. Milwaukee has gone crazy for Danny Gokey. If you're not familiar with him, the Robert Downey Jr. lookalike has made it to the top 3 on American Idol. This is exciting stuff as not much excitement, at least of this magnitude, comes out of Milwaukee. Most of the time, when we make the news, it's not much to be proud of. Case in point, Jeffrey Dahmer. Doubt they'd be polishing the Fox 6 signs if he came for a hometown visit. Or maybe they would, considering he got his ass beat to death by a fellow inmate. His resurfacing may be newsworthy...
It's all over the news. Fox 6 has not covered a single news story other than "Danny Gokey Day (tomorrow)" since I turned on the television 1-1/2 hours ago. Even the weather man is gushing about it. I understand that the weather plays an important role tomorrow with all the Gokey activities planned. Concerts at the Harley stage, National Anthem and first pitch at the Brewer's Game, parades, etc... Big stuff, cooperative weather appreciated...
I'm not complaining, really... I like the guy. I've liked him from the beginning. It helps that he's a local boy with a heart-tugging backstory. Very talented. And he's cute, in a good 'ol boy kind of way. It's fun to watch Milwaukee in the spotlight, and it will be so fun next week to watch his hometown visit on Idol. I hope it's a great turnout.
I have just one little problem. I've got a major crush on Adam, a gay crush if you will. I don't care if the guy prefers make up, leather pants, perfectly sculpted eyebrows and other men. I have a crush on him. What would you call that? Gay crush would almost imply I have a crush on another woman. What DO you call it when you're crushing on a gay dude????
A Danny/Adam finale may kill me.
