From Memory Lane to Tobacco Road...

Looks like the rumors are true; American Idol 2006 will be rerun on the Fox Reality channel beginning Tuesday 9/12 at 8 p.m. and 12 midnight Eastern time. Relive those thrilling songs of yesteryear...or catch up on some memorable moments you missed. Bucky's journey to the Top Ten is well worth a second look...

And while we're in memory mode, here's some great stuff from the recent past, courtesy of two generous Bucky fans at the Bucky Covington LiveJournal Community--fun photos of Bucky on stage in Indy, and some great before-the-show snaps taken in Peoria. Thanks, y'all!

The Pop-Tarts American Idols Live Tour that Never Ends (it just goes on and on, my friends...*) makes its way into Denver today--according to the Bucky fans at the Fox boards, Rocky's in town to cheer his brother on tonight. (All the more reason to hit that LMBO show after the concert--see yesterday's post for info. Wish we could be there.)

Finally, get-well wishes to Kathy over at Team Covington--hope she's feeling much better today.

Full post and Denver preview coming soon...come on back!

*Yes, I know. I can't help but think that after almost 60 shows (!) Bucky and the rest of those fine Idols are bored to tears with singing those same old songs, and exceedingly eager to get on with the next phase of their musical careers. But at the same time, I find myself tempted to go to one more of those silly cheesefests, just because a) I really, really enjoy all the singers this year, and the chances of seeing them together after 9/24 are about slim to none, and b) a good bud of mine would like to see what the fuss is all about. Come into comments and talk me out of it...please? Thanks.
