we've got a hot one!
This is the first season that I've been interested in American Idol. And to be honest, I couldn't wait until tonights showing to get the flow going so I thought it might be fun to make a post that related Idol to our running group. Plus it was something that I was thinking about while we were running.
Today is the first day that I've run with the group when Walt was there. Here's what I think the judges might have to say about him.
Randy - "wooh, wooh (arm pumping a must).... we've got another hot one! Come on dawg. Yo, man - you know you can run."
Paula - "I'm almost in tears, because I'm so moved. The way you run... you've got energy, it's infectious. Did you see how the others wanted to make sure they ran with that kind of energy? The performance was amazing, you are a star. A bright shining star."
Simon - "You know Walt, I've seen some runners come through lately that were just - well, ok. At first, I thought that you might be another one of those forgetable types... but I have to say you impressed me. You have the ability to make all the others run behind you for hours, wondering how in the world they will ever catch up. And for that.... I think the group will only get better. Because they'll have too."
What singer would Jim's running be compared too?
I was also wondering what kind of singer Jim could be compared to. A singer who's songs have been used on the show. Stevie Wonder is what I came up with. First of all Stevie's songs have been used multiple times on the show already this season (I think 3 times). Jim is kind of that guy from my perspective. He's one of the guys that you would naturally gravitate too because he has an inviting personality. He's always willing to help people out and makes sure we all know when, where and what our runs will be. People would definately choose him to help their running group flow.
The other similarity I thought of was that Stevie's songs are still relevant. The relavancy of Stevie's music is pretty impressive considering the time span that his music has remained popular. Consistancy. I only met Jim a few years ago at Todd's Road, but one thing that I would say about him is that he is consistant with his running. I don't ever remember him talking about a period of time when he wasn't running. Consistancy is a key to becoming a good runner. And a key to remaining a professional musician. (Anyone know what Vanillia Ice is doing right now?)
What singer would I like my running to be compared to?
Johny Cash. Jack Johnson. Beastie Boys. I'll leave it up to you to figure out how those comparisons / analogies might exist. I just like their style.
