Have you never seen a 'reality' show before?
They've been on television in a very similar format for like 25 years or something. And all those bumps have been pretty common on television for at last 20 years.

"I'll stick around… not. Please give all my money to Courtney. Sincerely DG & band"

Superhost! Ah yes. I was on the Big Chuck and Little John show once (formerly Houlihan and Big Chuck). And I got to ask a question to Michael Stanley on the Morning Exchange. Cleveland TV baby!

American Music (and or variety) shows of the 1970s
Hee Haw, Soul Train, American Bandstand, Midnight Special, Sonny and Cher, Tony Orlando and Dawn, Dinah Shore, Mike Douglas, The Muppet Show, Mac Davis, Lawrence Welk, Carol Burnett, Donny & Marie, and on and on.

Absolutely. I loved Lawrence Welk (and Soul Train).

Hardly Working is a GREAT movie
No it's not. But it isn't sad. It's just sort of… an ok movie. Well maybe not even that. Look… I liked it when I was 10.

Everytime I think of you…

Lou Reed is hysterical in that movie! He plays totally against type which makes it laugh out loud funny. If you know who he is at the time. Otherwise he's still funny by being totally committed to recording generic MOR BS.

Rumor Willis could star in a remake of Mask.

In other news Kirk Cameron is trying to get his 6 children working in the business by casting them in his remake of Roots.

She isn't that cute though. I mean most kids are sort of cute. Except for her.

Tony did the horn/string arrangements.

Also McCartney recorded in a castle in 1979. Apparently the put the drum set in the fireplace!

McCartney recorded in a boat in 1977
The London Town album was recorded on a boat in the Caribbean. He and his Wings bandmates swam, hung out and recorded on board the boat for a few weeks early in 1977. There were other boats where the band members stayed. The captain noticed they were smoking pot and sent them an…
