TIM WILSON MORE November 4, 2002 (Louisville, KY) - Capitol Records comedian Tim Wilson is best known for poking fun at the idiosyncrasies in our society with songs like “The Clone Song,” “First Baptist Bar and Grill,” and “Crematorium for Sale,” but this weekend Tim took time to visit with the attendees of the National FFA (Future Farmers of America) convention in Louisville, Kentucky between his performances at the Comedy Caravan. On Friday, November 1st, Wilson stopped by the Catzbox Music booth at the convention to autograph copies of his new CD, Certified Aluminum: His Greatest Recycled Hits. The annual convention hosts over 40,000 members of the FFA, an organization that is made up of future leaders of America’s agricultural community. “I’ve been doing comedy for 20 years and I’ve traveled all over the country, but I have never seen such a large gathering of young people with as much integrity.” Wilson said of the convention-goers he met. “I wish everyone had the opportunity to meet these kids. They totally changed my vision of who our farmers are. It really gives me new hope for the future of our country.” Later that evening, Tim once again showed his giving side at the club where he was appearing. Minutes before his show, Tim stopped to talk with a fan in the lobby of the club who was visibly upset. She told Wilson that she and her husband had purchased tickets to his show earlier in the week, only to find that the show had been oversold when they arrived. They were told by the club owner that their tickets would be honored at the next night’s show, but unfortunately they would not be able to afford to pay a babysitter for another night. Wilson, without even allowing the fan to finish her story, reached into his wallet and handed the woman her money back, apologizing for the mishap and inviting her to be his personal guest at the next show. In other news, Tim Wilson will take time out of his busy performance schedule to appear as guest host of Atlanta’s WKHX “Kicks 101.5” morning show on Tuesday, November 5 and Wednesday, November 6. The station is currently in search of a permanent host for the show, and Wilson, an Atlanta native, is looking forward to the opportunity. # # #
