Yes, I am a member of the Soul Patrol. It's funny, I always thought of myself as a punk rock type, but here I am, loving this music that I didn't even know I liked. I just heard Taylor's song "Soul Thing" for the first time yesterday (from Under the Radar). Listening to that song makes me feel so proud to be in the Soul Patrol. Taylor came along at the perfect time for me. I was just getting bored of my music again when along comes Taylor. I still love Green Day and Alkaline Trio though. Alkaline Trio is kind of a new find for me and I still haven't heard all their songs. But they totally rock!
Anyway, going back to Taylor (which I suspect may happen a lot in this blog ;)):
He is so totally awesome!!! I was so glad when he won AI. I've never watched the show seriously before, just off and on. But when Taylor walked into that audition room and started singing, I knew he would go far. I was hoping he'd be the next American Idol, but I wasn't sure enough people would see in him what I did. Obviously, America made the right choice. I'm going to the AI concert in August and I can't wait to see Taylor! the others too, but mostly Taylor.
