People's Hottest Bachelor is Coming to Utah!

People Magazine just released their latest "Hottest Bachelors" edition of the magazine. Taylor Hicks, the newest American Idol is listed as People's Hottest Bachelor and he is coming to Utah! Taylor will be performing at the Stadium of Fire on July 1st. The American Idol tour is scheduled to begin on July 5th but no Utah tour date is listed, so if you are a member of the Soul Patrol and want to see Taylor Hicks perform live make sure to get your tickets soon. Tickets are available at www.byutickets.com.

I've been thinking about how Taylor must be feeling right now. It's probably a bit overwhelming but also exciting -- going from a small-time musician to being on the cover of People Magazine, doing commericals, photo shoots, publicity tours, and performing in front of thousands.

I remember a few years ago I was speaking and doing some fireside presentations which were videotaped, and had some written articles going around the internet with information about me in them. I was shopping one day and a woman kept glancing at me. It was a little strange. Soon she came over and acted like we were good friends and she knew all about me. It turns out that she had been to one of my presentations -- but it was a strange feeling to know that someone I had never met before felt like they knew me.

This past week I had someone seek me out (somehow tracking down my cell phone number) to ask questions about something I had written in one of my blogs. Don't ask me how he did that - I have no idea. :-)

I've had a very small taste of what it feels like to be in the public eye, but nothing like what Taylor must be experiencing. It's very strange to have people feel like they know you, just because you are in the public eye. Taylor is so real, warm and open when he is interviewed, I am sure it's going to be a bit of a shock to him.

Anyway, I hope you'll all come and join me at the Stadium of Fire -- I wouldn't miss it this year -- It's going to be GREAT!
