Lack of Clack Blues

Since April 17, Lecherous Broads have been suffering a shared Post-Claytal Depression. We have to admit, the January and February media blitz for The Way, followed by The Coming Tour spoiled us in our Clack addictions. I personally have 21.3 MB of Independent Tour photos stored on my computer, and Katynka has 7 gigabytes of tour video.

We are anxiously awaiting maybe a video clip and/or Clay-mention on On Air with Ryan Seacrest this week, Leno on May 11, and the AI appearance on May 12, then we hope we'll get some good downloads from Wango Tango next Saturday, perhaps even a media photo or two (or ten?).

During February, March and half of April, we simply became accustomed to Fresh Clack in daily doses. This feels like a drought.

Oh, sure, Clay has shown up here and there, but not everywhere, and not every day.

OK, well, we did get to see images of him pretty quickly after the tour, in some he looked a little tired, then I was relieved to see this:

We were happy to see him in Walt Disney World:

And we tried to zero in on the fine attributes of that Purple Shirted shout-out, thanks to one of our pals at CH:

We are pretty delighted to see Clay having fun, and were glad to see him like this:

To tide us over in our longing for fresh Clack, a couple more photos emerged from the Time Magazine photo shoot:

Then, we had to wait ages and ages�ok, 6 days�till we got some gorgeous Clack from the White House Correspondent's dinner:

But then, we were back to waiting. Waiting. Waiting. Things were getting desperate. Jonesing for a fix, Broads were on the hunt throughout Clay Nation, looking for tids and bits....old photos were all we had to sustain us.

Spotlightlover had the good sense to provide directions on this photo from Miami:

Then, someone found the Photo That Nearly Killed Nelle:

Clay in a bed, umm, flower bed, I mean, garden.
(It's my MP today, I can too indulge my personal fetishes, umm, fantasies, I mean, preferences.

Then, we waited some more.

Ohh, sure, Wednesday brought us the Early Show Clack Extravaganza, with the Holy Grail of Cler:

While we are still wrapping our minds around that, our satisfaction is not sustained.

We had a couple little teasers about the DisneyClay Aladdin DVD and song, and can hardly wait to hear/see Clay sing Proud of Your Boy to us. (We already are, of course ;-)

I am so tha-rilled Clay got to record with an orchestra!

But, we are Lecherous Broads, and when it comes to Clay Aiken, we want more MORE MORE! SOON!

Thanks to one of our resident poets for putting these feelings into the following verse.

LACK OF CLACK BLUES
