Idaho State University (ISU to locals) masquerades as a fine state-sponsored institution of higher learning. But Bobby K has gotten the inside scoop from a distant relative working at the school paper that the “university” is really a front for karaoke lifers!!! Hellz yeah.

The school’s Daily Vidette newspaper (dumb name) leaked this article on the ‘net. Turns out ISU’s “First Weekend” is back for its fourth year on campus and it will give students many karaoke-related events to participate in this weekend as they hit campus.

Normally, we wouldn’t leak such unsubstantiated rumors peddled by a small time newspaper, but since this came from a distant relative, I couldn’t resist. Now, where I stand on this is complicated. I like big government out of my karaoke. But, it seems the politicos in Boise have funneled a sizable chunk of the state’s budget to advance karaoke culture in their state. Love that. These kids are getting more than just a degree at ISU. They’re learning singing skills that may help land them their first job once they get out here to LA.

Way to go Idaho!

Love,
