Frank Sinatra is heckled by Dean Martin & Sammy Davis

Tom Waits on Fernwood Tonight
This is a gem of a clip. Tom Waits shows up on Fernwood Tonight, (a seventies parody of the mid-western talk show format) on the premise that his tour bus broke down. Martin Mull and Norman Lear are funny, but Tom Waits is the show stealer. His best line is, “I’d rather have a bottle in front of me, then a frontal lobotomy.”
This is ghost rider requesting a flyby

Take some dancing lessons from the King
My friend Gary has a great post about “Taking Inspiration from Inspiration.” Michael Jackson’s death had me thinking about all the pop stars that benefited from his moves. Almost every pop star since Thriller, have in some way been inspired by his genius. But, Michael didn’t invent it. He got it from the Godfather of Soul: James Brown. Long before the Jackson 5, James Brown was out there, dancing in a class all by himself.
MJ Thursday
I have this song running through my head today. I wonder why?
Conan vs. James Ellroy
James Ellroy is a wild, unpredictable, unapologetic, self- promoter. But he’s a good writer. And he makes appearances on talk shows, like not other. This clip is of a young Conan O’Brien holding his own with a crazy ass guest.
Beastie Boys Monday
After listening to this song, I realized the Beastie Boys were much more then a white boy rap group. These guys can actually play.
