My New Pals

Last week I journeyed to Lakeview Fundamental Elementary School to talk to a bunch of 9- and 10-year-olds about my job. I was supposed to talk for 40 minutes; I wound up chatting about Hannah Montana, Corbin Bleu and Billy Ray Cyrus for more than an hour.

The kids were smart, funny, highly entertaining, especially one little dude, who said he was a huge Elvis fan. I asked him what his favorite Elvis song was, and he started crooning Clambake. That pretty much made my year.

Anyway, the gang just sent me a bunch of thank-you letters, so I thought I'd share a few snippets...

"The one thing that I learned from you was famous people have big heads and little bodies."

"You are a great guy. I want to be a writer someday like you. P.S. Like the hair."

"When you said that you made fun of Billy Ray Cyrus for his song I didn't blame you! If I were there, I would just be laughing 'cause it just seemed so funny!"

"You are my most favorite music critic that ever existed. I almost wanted to yell out how I feel. Is that how you felt when you were a child?"

"I hope you come again very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very soon."
