There's a great story in the Phoenix New Times about Jimmy Wayne's inadvertent foray into identity theft -- of an Arizona Corporate Commission candidate!
Jimmy, who's finishing his walk from Nashville to Phoenix to raise awareness of teen homelessness and Project Meet Me Halfway, took a little break at an Arizona karaoke bar last week, going on stage with a secret identity.
"Ok every1, I'm letting you N on a secret: I'm going to enter a Karaoke contest tonite in Show Low AZ (undercover as Berry Wong)!stay tuned: Barry Wong," he tweeted to his fans.
Jimmy donned a pink tank top and sang "Neon Moon" for the unsuspecting crowd. News of the joke made it to local politician Barry Wong, who said he's cool with the country star stealing his identity.
"I'm flattered he would associate my name with his famous country music star name and reputation, even if in jest," Barry Wong told the New Times.
