schultmc = old

Tonight was the Debian 15th Anniversary Party and formal dinner over at the alternate hotel. During dinner, Bdale asked helix which Wilson Sister she thought she was most like. She immediately thought he was referring to Wilson Phillips, to which he replied, "No, another generation back - Heart." She then said, "Oh, I can sing Alone, I learned it from American Idol" and I burst out laughing (both because I remember Carrie Underwood's excellent performance of Alone on that episode of American Idol and because I know the original Heart performance). Someone asked why I was laughing and helix said, "He's old like Bdale" and I retorted "I am not as old as Bdale!" I did just turn 30 - maybe I should move directly to a retirement home ;)

American Idol

It turns out I may be even older ;) Carrie Underwood's performance of Alone was on Season 4 of American Idol. Season 7 just completed and Wikipedia says there were 3 other covers of Alone. Those covers included one in Season 6 and two in Season 7.
