I
swear this isn't turning into some blithering celebrity blog, but as luck would have it, today's video target was also the object of adulation. Keith Urban (a country music singer of some acclaim, I'm told) brought a small town to a starstruck halt as he fullfilled an obligation borne of horsepower. Ya see, five years ago Keith bought a tricked-out Impala from a specialty car dealership in North Wilkesboro. Though he wasn't nearly the household name he is now, the savvy sales guys recognized a sensation in the making and offered to knock two grand off the price, if only he'd return one day for a fan appearance. Today he did, and the result was bedlam.
About 500 people gathered outside the dealership, most of them female - all of them insane. Okay, that's unfair, but if you saw a parking lot full of grandmothers and pre-teens convulse uncontrollably at the sight of an approaching tour bus, you'd be shaken up too. I'm just thankful no one got hurt in the ensuing crush. That includes me; some of those older ladies pack a mean elbow. Once Urban got inside however, things leveled off a bit. The recent Grammy winner sat calmly at a table while a great rush of estrogen and flashbulbs flowed past. Through it all, Urban treated his frenzied fans with nothing but love - proving himself a class act. Even if his tour manager
was a complete tool.

Wow, it's Lenslinger Coast To Coast! Not many bloggers will match that.
I saw Keith Urban (and Kenny Chesney) under duress, a few years ago in Greensboro.
"Under duress," is because I didn't want to go and got dragged along, but ultimately I discovered that even a woman of my advanced years could have a good time watching young men, uh,"dance" and sing. The audience was made up of women my age.
It was NOT pretty.
It is a potent medication that is buy accutane very effective for nearly all types of breakouts. It is gone from the blood within nine days and has no lasting
