It's all about Bo

Did I tell yall that Bo Bice is from my area? Actually just a skip and a hop up the road, but you would think he was from right here in my area. It's Bo this, and Bo that, yadda, yadda, yadda. I mean, don't get me wrong, I hope he wins American Idol too, but it wouldn't be the same as someone from our area being say.....voted the next President of the United States. With the press Bo is getting here, you would think he might be the next king of the world!!!!!! Will we have a state holiday in his honor? Will copious amounts of people accross the great state of Alabama name their next born son Bo? Dang it, another commercial about who? BO! I just saw it as I was typing this. I am sorry, many famous people are from my adopted state:
