MINNEAPOLIS – Sophia Shorai, a 28-year-old Minneapolis torch singer, wowed the “American Idol” judges during her Hollywood performance that was televised Thursday night and surely made her parents – Sara Jane Olson and Fred Peterson – very proud.
Ex-fugitive Olson
Nothing should minimize Olson’s crime, but you have to wonder what it was like for her three daughters to live through that? What was it like for them for the seven years their mom was in prison? What was it like knowing that your mother had lead a secret life and was an infamous fugitive? In the Idol audition interview Shorai raves about her parents relationship in a way anyone who has children and is married can only hope their kids would.
