Homedrone: Watch Athens Songwriter Sam Burchfield On 'American Idol'

By Gabe Vodicka | January 24, 2014 10:56am

Last night, "American Idol" hit Atlanta for another round of auditions (What? You're not watching "American Idol?" GET WITH THE PROGRAM), and like most episodes of the now 13-year-old show (!), it was tense, emotional television. Who would make it to HOLLYWOOD? Who would have their hopes and dreams squashed like so many tone-deaf cockroaches?

Among the contestants who sang and/or played their hearts out for judges Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick, Jr. (who is so great in this role BTW) was Sam Burchfield, an Athenian who gigs regularly around town under his own name and with his band Street Rhythm and Rhyme. Burchfield sang Louis Prima's "I Wan'na Be Like You"—yes, the song from The Jungle Book—but did he make it through to the next round?

Hit the jump to find out.

In the Loop: Watch Congressional Candidate Mike Collins Impersonate Jean Claude Van Damme

By | December 6, 2013 1:25pm

Congressional candidate, trucking company owner and Alabama fan Mike Collins is a hard target.

Sure, the other street fighters in the bloodsport we call the 10th District Republican primary hope he's expendable, but Collins is on a quest and is willing to take maximum risk until death. His campaign won't be derailed. No retreat, no surrender. He's a lionhart. A universal soldier. The other candidates have nowhere to run. That's why Collins is sort of doing the splits between two moving trucks in this parody of a Jean Claude Van Damme Volvo commercial.
