I imagine the odds are quite slim that my blog’s readers might also be planning on tuning in to tonight’s Miss America Pageant. However, if you are a Miss America fan, then be sure and check out Brooke Kilgarriff (Miss MN 2009) as she belts out Queen’s “Somebody to Love” for the talent portion of the show. I played all the drums on the backing track, and I’m feeling pretty good about the likelihood that my playing will utterly captivate the audience, causing them to completely forget all of those beautiful women wearing evening gowns and bikinis. I’m totally convinced this will happen, actually.
PS. Joking aside, there’s a fair amount of buzz that Brooke is a strong contender to take the whole contest. Go Brooke!
