(Sept. 5) - At the halfway point of the 2007 American Idols Live tour, ticket turnstiles are, to an alarming extent, standing idle.

------------------

FWIW...I'm of the opinion that the 2007 tour isn't well received, b/c the Idols were simply not up to snuff as in past seasons.  Here's hoping the 2008 season brings much better talent and is oveall MUCH improved!  I want to feel really excited & enthused about the next Top 10!!  :jumpy:

Bucky's latest blog post:

ZIPPO AND BUCKY COVINGTON JOIN FORCES

Nashville, TN- Zippo, one of the world's leading manufacturers of pocket lighters, is partnering with Bucky Covington as the title sponsor of the artist's tour dates. Zippo's sponsorship will kick off when Bucky joins Dierks Bentley's "Throttle Wide Open" tour, sponsored by Bud Light.

"It's going to be so cool to have Zippo with me on the road as my tour sponsor," says Bucky. "I'm a big fan of their products so it's a great match."

Before joining Dierks Bentley on his "Throttle Wide Open" tour in February, Bucky will pay a visit to Zippo headquarters in Bradford, PA to meet and perform for the company's employees and executives.

"It's great to work with a talented new young artist like Bucky who is also a big Zippo fan," says Zippo President Greg Booth. "He should prove to be a great evangelist for our brand."

In addition to competing on the fifth season of American Idol, Bucky's national television appearances have included Live with Regis and Kelly, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Good Morning America and Fox & Friends. In early 2008 Bucky is scheduled to tour with Trace Adkins and later Dierks Bentley for the singer's "Throttle Wide Open" tour.
