It was May 25, 2005, the end of Season 4. We'd picked up Dorothy and were traveling to Cape Cod, where all the boys already were. The rain came down in buckets on the drive that night, forcing traffic to a standstill. American Idol was hot back then, and we were eager to find out who would win. Carrie Underwood edged out Bo Bice. ("Scary Underwear or Mo' Ice? " read the sign on the cabin door.)
The final season came to an end April 7, 2016, a day when the rain also came down in torrents. The length of the show's run had been curtailed by increasing apathy and ennui, the two finalists pale reflections of contestants who had gone before. We learned that Trent beat out LaPorsha, and that Bo Bice now sports a crewcut. Alas.
