On her Web site, Cobb states the need for stronger oversight of judicial misconduct. A few years ago, the Alabama Supreme Court voted to change the system of filing complaints against judges to make it no longer confidential. It also voted to implement an open file rule, which allows judges to obtain a copy of all the evidence discovered during an ongoing investigation. No other judge in the United States has this right, and Cobb wants to work to get the law rescinded. With her experience, Sue Bell Cobb should be Alabama’s next Supreme Court chief justice.

McCoy had an average voice that suited his twangy pop/country sound, and he even had the look. He wore blue jeans that were so tight they looked painted on and a cowboy hat. However, the one thing McCoy lacked was relevant music. This was expected, though, since McCoy has not had a legitimate hit since the ’90s. McCoy’s original songs are not that bad; of course, they are not that good, either. He does not bring any- thing new to the game. His rehashed diet-Texas country sound has been done many times before him. Even his covers were not relevant. I could hear his music in a number of bars around town. McCoy’s biggest mistake of the night was when he decided to stray from coun- try into other genres. McCoy launched into a disco med- ley that included “YMCA,” “In the Navy” and “Macho Man.” If disco was not dead before Friday night, then it definitely was after McCoy’s performance. McCoy was at his best when performing his string of hits from the ’90s that included “Wink” and “The Shake.”
