Taylor Hicks' Soul Patrol of imbeciles no match for us Wie Warriors
Tuesday January 23, 2007 | 04:18:41 524 words, 7807 views
When you write a golf blog as pure as the first fresh snow like I do, you learn a few things along the way. This week for instance, I discovered that an American Idol hack named Taylor Hicks has a small band of overweight desperate housewives for fans who call themselves with much third-grade pride the Soul Patrol. These are the kind of people whose husbands always play 36 holes and never want to go home. Probably because they’d be stuck hearing a Taylor Hicks CD when they got there (that’s not a scratch, it’s really his voice). And who can blame anyone for finding refuge from that? These Soul Patrollers offend me on several levels. As regular readers know I’m a passionate Michelle Wie fan - a card carrying member of the group that proudly declares themselves Wie Warriors. (That’s called an original nickname you Soul Patrol nitwits). As such, the Soul Patrol goes against everything us Wie Warriors believe in. They worship a guy who’s simply a propped up product of a well-oiled hype machine, someone who actually hasn’t done anything of any significance. Taylor Hicks basically “won” America’s biggest loser because he had gray hair and Idol wanted to expand its reach beyond pre teens. In other words, Hicks is everything Wie Warriors - who value true results over fluff - despise. He and his PR handlers even constructed a feel-good, change-the-world tale. Hicks told Jay Leno that Hurricane Katrina and fate brought him to American Idol (rather than just a bad haircut). His story is that he caught one of the last taxis out of New Orleans, drove 15 hours (no problem paying that fare on a “struggling” artist’s dime) and arrived at an airport that offered him a free ticket anywhere in the U.S. He chose Las Vegas on a whim, there happened to be an Idol audition there and the rest is bad music history. (To read this tale, click here). Now this is the kind of grandiose, I’m going to change the world yarn that our girl Michelle and her friends who happen to love swooshes would never try and spin. It’d be like a golfer declaring that she was going to revolutionize the game or something. Worse yet, Taylor Hicks is reaching out for money in a most crass way. His own official Soul Patrol website has a link on it’s front page, advertising that you can advertise on the site for “as low as $3 per day.” Below that there’s a Paypal link that lets you “support” the website. This is the kind of cheap commercialism that the Goddess of Good, Michelle, would never ever engage in. Michelle doesn’t care about the money. You think she’d just pimp some sparkly watch or something? Please. Never. Like with our girl Michelle. Take that Souless Ones. You’re at war with the Wie Warriors. May the Good Lord Of Bad Musicians help you. Bookmark/Search this post with:

Wow! Such viciousness. Now I'm curious as to what did this Taylor Hicks (or his Soul Patrol) did to you to warrant such visceral attack.

Jay, my belief is that they read through some of Chris' past columns and were staggered to learn that someone gets paid (PAID! REAL DOLLARS) to write as badly as he does.
Taylor Hicks aside, I can spot a "Talentless Hack" when I read one.

I detect some "taylor" envy here. He'd probably laugh his ass off if he read this, but no doubt he's never heard of you. You really need to move on--the tournament is over. Don't you write a golf blog?

Wow! Everything you based your rant on is wrong. All the facts. Wrong.
Take this one, for instance, "Taylor Hicks has a small band of overweight desperate housewives for fans who call themselves with much third-grade pride the Soul Patrol." That should read "...a LARGE band of overweight desperate housewives..."

"Taylor Hicks' Soul Patrol of imbeciles no match for us Wie Warriors"
Is it really necessary to write a story without insulting every one. Soul Patrol imbeciles? NO we are not a small band of overweight wives whose husbands are golfers and don't want to come home, I AM A FAN AND AN GOLFER AND PROBABLY COULD BEAT YOUR BUTT AT BOTH GAMES.. ESPECIALLY GOLF. AND I WOULD WORRY ABOUT MICHELE WIE,, SHE WOLDNT' GIVE YOU A SECOND LOOK. So what if she doesn't need the money,, she plays a great game of golf.YOU REALLY DO NEED TO GET A LIFE.. If your goal is to insult people, degrade them then you have succeded. you can quit now. find anoth another perfession. Can you sing or play golf? You really are a sad sad person.

Glad to hear that we returned the favor of offending you. Stick to commenting on golf. Using Taylor bashing to get hits on your blog is low. Do you have private lessons with Howard Stern or are you just a subscriber?

I'm on to you buddy, promtions for Wie while you bash Taylor. OK... I don't get it. Regardless, you certainly did get the Soul Patrol up in arms yesterday. You though, once again, have not done your homework. The article loses impact when you err with your "facts". The site you are referencing is not Taylor Hicks' site, that is simply a fan forum run by someone not affliated with Hicks. I bring this up because you make attempt to have him appear a smarmy huckster with your Paypal and ad on the site references. Hicks site is actually at www.taylorhicks.com. Just straightening that one out. No denying the love for the guy...

Do you think that it makes me upset that you just insulted my friends and my idol? Nope.
Do you think that it bothers me that you called Taylor a "Talentless Hack"? Nope. Why? Because stupid little bloggers like yourself think that they are high and mighty for blasting the biggest and strongest fanbase, and I don’t let little specks like you get to me. I suggest the rest of the SP does the same. The only thing that really bothers me is that if and when you have a child, they have to inherit half of you genes. God bless your children.

Whoa! Overweight desperate housewives? You don't get out much. Such venom, and hatefulness! Get a freaking life dude. Stick to writing your mind numbingly boring golf blog instead of screwing up facts, and insulting a guy you have absolutely no clue about. I'm sure your viciousness gets you the hits you need, but down boy! Maybe people would actually read this blog if you learned how to write instead of spew.

Just sounds like sour grapes to me! I am a bonafide SP'er and proud of it! You I've never heard of and after reading your article I know why! I have a feeling your "career" will be short lived and people won't be put upon by your "talentless writing" for long. Guess you weren't taught the rule that if you can't say something good keep your mouth shut.

Does this hack actually read what he writes?
"As such, the Soul Patrol goes against everything us Wie Warriors believe in. They worship a guy who's simply a propped up product of a well-oiled hype machine, someone who actually hasn't done anything of any significance." Is there another athlete in America who has done less to earn obscene and unwarranted rewards than Michelle Wie? Talk about someone who hasn't done anything of any significance." And if there's a more contrived, shoved-down-our-throats fraud than Michelle Wie, I want to see them. The fact that this Chris Baldwin bozo actually roots for and fawns over a fabricated so-called talent proves he knows absolutely nothing about golf or life. This guy reminds me of a liberal Democrat -- say whatever you want regardless of if it's true or not and never worry about any reprocussions. God help us all.

Chris Baldwin the Idiot a.k.a. Wee Warrior,
Even through bad spelling and grammatical errors in an article that is filled with nonsense, I could see that you were risking a heart attack while you spewed out venom against Taylor Hicks. You're entitled to your own thoughts of course and if you had done that in a civilized way who knows how many Wee warriors wanna bes you would be able to convert... Instead this trash you produced only deserves to be trashed!

Hehe! As so many have noted before, the Soul Patrol is the craziest bunch of lunatics yet! Much more fanatical and obsessive than the Claymates. No wonder the gray hair flop was never in the bottom 3! With fans like this, Taylor Hicks needs no enemies! LOL The joke is on the SP!

Comment from: Saywhat [Visitor]
You are very funny. You're seriously looking for attention. Michelle Wie vs. Taylor Hicks fanbases. Are you for real???
Your article is downright insulting but for some strange reason I am laughing my butt of at the fact that you've now gone from blaming Taylor for Justin and Rush not being at the Bob Hope Classic to now comparing his fanbase to Michele Wie's. I guess his fanbase really did let you have it, didn't they and this your mature way of handling it. Oh well, Keep talking about Taylor because as they say, there is no such thing as bad publicity.. By the way, I am a golfing fanatic and just between you and me, the Michelle Wie vs. Taylor Hicks fanbase comparison is a bit of a stretch on every level but thanks again for the attention.

I cannot believe the utter gall. You are a sad, hateful, aging, Balding (you should change your last name to this) "man" (using the term loosely). My estimate of your ramblings here are that you yourself are the man whose overweight, desperate housewife has driven you to your only recourse, your ONLY haven in your life... the golf course - and to write so bitterly about it only scratches the surface of helping you deal (there's medication for that, ya know). I feel bad for you in your sad, lonely little world. By the way, I can't say I'm a true Soul Patroller, but I do enjoy the style of music that Mr. Hicks has given the world. I'm 128 lbs., long dark hair, blue eyes. Not desperate, not overweight. I have taken offense to your generalization of Taylor Hicks fans. How about this for generalization? You fall into the category of desperate, balding husbands with the spare tire around the middle, spend most of your time on the golf course, whose wives turn their attention away from, just to have some kind of haven to go to... works both ways, buddy. You think you can age, be an ass and still have a gorgeous wife cater to your every whim? Wow... like I said, I used the term "man" loosely... sounds like you aren't even close to being a real man.

The fact that you dont like Taylor doesnt bother me.. the fact that you have nothing write about doesnt bother me either.. but i'm confused why you are comparing your "fan club" to Taylors "fan club" and you are proclaiming a "winner".. this blog is really weird.. it reminds me of a 5 year old trying to give a great come back and it sounds like "nut-uh" If i was Michelle Wie i'd be looking for a restraining order..

Well, I said yesterday you were both hiding behind your golf blog to attack Taylor for some reason and that you are also a coward. Thanks so much for biting the bait and taking it hook, line and sinker to the bottom of your scummy little pond.

I read that in a few weeks, stores will start ripping off the barcodes from Taylor's CD and throwing the CDs in the trash. They return the barcodes for credit toward future purchases. There are about 300,000 CDs that this will happen to. You SP'ers had better run to the bank for a third mortgage on the double-wide QUICK so you can rescue those poor doomed CDs.

The Soul Patrol fan base ranges in ages from toddlers to 80 yrs old. Taylor's fans are a very diverse group of fans. It is also filled with many talented people such as writers, poets celebrities and many others. The Soul Patrol does everything they can to raise funds for charities such as Kid One and Studio by the Tracks. Taylor Hicks is a very talented man and on top of that a very respectable man. If you are gonna claim to be a writer then you should get your facts straight or shut the hell up.

What a sad sad man you are...I see up there, that someone said you have Taylor-Envy...its a very real thing!!! As for your slam on the Soul Patrol? WTF? I spent the summer travelling all over the country seeing Taylor and his band, and they are amazing. I have met hundreds of Soul Patrollers all over the place..tall, short, fat, skinny..all different kinds of people!! For you to insinuate that we are all fat housewives, is so IGNORANT!!! I won't slam golf fans, because my father is one, and I love Tiger... but dude, lay off Taylor, and lay off of us!!!

Chris, good work at driving the traffic. You've tapped into a very active fanbase as you can see.
I just wanted to point out a few factual errors for you if you don't mind. You say: Worse yet, Taylor Hicks is reaching out for money in a most crass way. His own official Soul Patrol website has a link on it's front page, advertising that you can advertise on the site for "as low as $3 per day." Below that there's a Paypal link that lets you "support" the website. In fact, the website you refer to "The Official Soul Patrol" has no formal affiliation with Taylor. It's a fansite and advertising for support via PayPal is a common way to raise funds to keep the site running. You also write: "Taylor Hicks basically "won" America's biggest loser because he had gray hair and Idol wanted to expand its reach beyond pre teens." Implying that the show producers actually had a say in who wins. In fact, the winner is chosen via a voting system, a fact that I hope you are aware of but chose to ignore to make your (non-valid) point. If you have evidence to the contrary I would think that the millions of fans/voters who watch the show every week and participate in what they feel to be a fair process would be anxious to hear it. I'm still struggling to grasp the rhetorical point you are attempting to make by comparing Taylor Hicks fans to Michelle Wie fans. Perhaps it's hidden somewhere in your writing - I'll keep looking. Thanks for the free PR though and one last question - do you have Michelle's phone number? As you know Taylor is an avid golfer - perhaps a duet is in order? Take Care, Gray Charles The "Official Taylor Hicks Weblog"

For Gray Charles to pop over and acknowledge your blog, there must be some heavy-duty hair-pulling going on in the Soul Patrol. I see that they're using a picture for the new single cover that has their guy with photo-shopped dark hair around his face; bad angle for his nose, too.

Considering the fact that you linked to a past article in which you lambasted Wie for "pimp(ing) some sparkly watch" while you were writing here that she would never do such a thing, I have to wonder if this whole article is your failed attempt at satire or if you really are just that stupid.

You arrogant, pompous, self-righteous old fool! What gives you the right to compare groups of people. Given the fact that tthis is America, and as such we are all free to support whatever hero we choose to, why would you try to incite a riot through invidious, pre-K name calling? The fact of the matter is that we all like and follow the careers of those we chose to follow and a Groupie by any other name is still a Groupie.

You seriously need to have your head examined. What has Taylor done to you to deserve such bashing? The Soul Patrol is a very diverse, supportive group and to trash us like you've done is way out of line. Do something more meaningful in your blogs - like commenting on GOLF - and leave Taylor to us.

I am 29 years old, single, full time nursing student. How dare you say that Taylor's fans are over weight house wifes?? ARE YOU out of your mind? Step into reality, Taylor brought more than just GREAT awesome music back to the pathetic way music has been lately, he brought class, charm, good manners and not to mention SEXY back to america. if you don't like his music FINE DON'T Listen to it STUPID, but don't talk trash just because you 'think' you can. Get a grip and step into reality for a bit. And further more if that is your picture up there, maybe YOU need to take a few lessons from Taylor ... he certainly looks a million and one times better than you do!!

"SP, Gray has spoken. Leave the blog alone. There is no reason to deal with this guy any longer."
Talk about mindless sheep...Does your leader tell you when to take a crap too? I can't fathom how sad and empty a life you must live to care so deeply about what a golf blogger says about a "singer". These are some of the most disturbing responses to a post I have ever seen, you can feel the anger and venom coming through every red-faced response. If some of you had spent as much time on your schoolwork as you did on crafting these responses you might have passed the 4th grade. My advice to the "Soul Patrol" is to un-wad your panties, break out your Bon-Bon's, put on another crappy Michael McDonald "light" single and keep an eye out for the repo man.

Enough time wasted on such an idot. This so called writer (my three year old would do better) is obviously jealous. Facts are Taylor's alblum went platinum without radio time. He is an amazing musical genius with more talent and SOUL in his little finger than thisman and his "pappy" would have in their whole body. This article only proves that "Chris" here needs to make a career change. Nothing more. Taylor's fan's love him and this guy knows we will read anything written about him, there fore making his article be seen as being read the most. He is just merely using Taylor to get a few readers, how sick, pathetic, and SAD is that?

What a sad pathetic soul. What would possess you to attack a celebrity guest at a golf tournament? Perhaps you should take a time out and reflect on your motives. And what are your credentials for judging musical talent? You are really mentally twisted.
Perhaps you can share your research on the demographics of Taylor Hicks' fans. Of course, you have nothing to support that but your loud mouth and empty head. What is amusing about your description of Hicks' fans is how much it matches the demographics of your readership audience. According to the demographics compiled by the PGA, your readership consists of age 60+ men and their equally old wives. Golf is an old folks game (not sport)and that is who your readership consists of. Its easy to see why you are limited to writing about golf...how much lower could a writer stoop. I hope you don't try to pass yourself off as a sports writer because you are not. Chris you are just a loud mouth overly emotional fool. The proof is in your own words. You have made yourself once again look like a fool. You have a total disregard for truth and facts. It must have really bugged you when fans were following Taylor around asking for photos and autographs. And it obviously bugged you when you received the negative feedback. So you lashed out like a toddler. Since you are so critical of people's physical appearance, why don't you post a recent photo of yourself. The one you post is rather old. Exactly how bald are you now? Putting hair aside...since when does a homely looking, balding, boring man have the right to put down the physical appearances of Taylor or your perception of his fanbase.

Chris,
A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom of neurotic insecurity

Yes, 572,000 is PLATINUM - if you have an issue with that, go write and complain to the RIAA, which certified it Platinum - it will look nice hanging next to his GOLD single.
Too bad you don't know how the music industry works, idiot. "Just To Feel That Way" - impacting on your local radio station Feb. 5!!

I bet your wife wants you on the golf course 24/7. Wait, that would be if you could find someone stupid enough to marry you in the first place.

Chris Baldwin huh?
Golf publicist?? Never heard of you. FYI: I'm not over-weight and my husband does not play golf. And your picture above does absolutely nothing for me. I guess if I looked up your name in the dictionary it would say JEALOUS beside it.

It's one thing to be negative towards someone, but your entry is nothing short of hateful. Name calling...Grow up...

It's obvious this guy needs some psychological counseling. Apparently nobody is paying attention LOL!
Nice try, Chris - now go back to to being a nothing blogger and leave the term "CLASSY" in the hands of someone who truly is - Taylor Hicks! You da man, Tay!

I was gonna bash you - because I AM A TAYLOR HICKS FAN and I love his REAL music - but looks like everyone else has done that already. Taylor is a class act - obviously you don't know as much about him as you THINK you know.

Chris Baldwin,
You turned an enjoyable BHCC event into something ugly. Your comments are insulting for us golf fans. Travelgolf, Why would you allow a writer to post twice (and even more negative the second time around) about someone who was invited to participate in the BHCC. What the hell is that?

"Oh for the days when Rush Limbaugh strolled the fairways smooching a cigar, getting cheers from fans who planted huge signs for him on the sides of their homes. (There's a lot more red in Palm Springs than you'd first think)."
That says it all. Chris' idol is Rush Limbaugh. Chris is upset that his red neck idol wasn't getting the cheers from the fans and Taylor was. Anyone who idiolizes Rush Limbaugh is a mindless, red neck fool.

ok yet another "Soul Patroler" proudly displaying her badge. I am not going to bother to even justify what your saying. Why should I? You cann not even post a valid claim! You call yourself a writer? You should be ashamed! You say Taylor has no talent and should not have won American Idol? Hmm I think you have no talent and should give up writing for say yet another passion? Maybe Comedy? Because your to funny!
You really should check the facts and get them right before you post your article. It makes you look bad. I some how read jealiousy for Taylors fan base in your post. Oh maybe you just had a bad day and Taylor bumped you out of line at your local McDonalds. Or maybe us soul patrolers took away your favorite toy this christmas? As for the comment about graycharles. Again funny humor here, People really need to control yourselves! Gray is a far more talented writer then I see in this article, you should be so lucky to have him as an inspiration! You need to go home now that you have an agry crowd chaseing you! I can hear your mommy calling you. I think its time for a spanking, you never did listen to her when it came to being politie
