Real Life Adventures by Gary Wise and Lance Aldrich for May 19, 2022

Either would have to be better than rapping.

Well, American Idol judges just don’t have a good ear for real music.

They do. I remember a young girl. very good.

How about pipers?

It’s the clogging and yodeling that entices me. A double threat! Like speed and power.

Amazing yodeler from America’s Got Talent…

Some of us would hang out at a bar called The Pumpkin Patch. If the band was there, they’d play Rocky Top soon as they saw us come in and a’clogging we’d go on the dance floor! LOL!

Old country music sometimes had yodeling.

Mimes with bagpipes!!

I don’t do ‘Idol’ worship, lol.

Folks aren’t ready for another Slim Whitman.

Mimes with accordions!

I have, fortunately, seen very little of American Idol – but clogging and yodeling, whether separately or combined, would be a huge improvement over anything on that stupid show.

They don’t have people with those talents because they know I’d watch if they did, and they don’t want me for a viewer. Quite right too.

Yep. What more could a girl want than a good romantic serenade yodeled under her window?

I would rather hear bagpipes. Really, really good bagpipes.

Idol has had many country singers, among whom yodeling skills are not uncommon. In the years I when I still enjoyed the show, I recall at least a few demonstrating those skills on screen. What puzzles me, however, is why some folks have difficulty simply disliking something, opting instead to rail against it as if it were some unholy abomination. Conversely, they seem bewildered and insulted at the mere notion that what they love could possibly be disliked by others, inferring that there must be something seriously wrong with them.
