The Tonight Show - The Doobie Brothers

Michael McDonald reunites with The Doobie Brothers on the Tonight Show:


And the web-exclusive: the performance of "What a Fool Believes".


Karl Pilkington once said that he doesn't understand the point of a medley and I think I see where he's coming from. Why two half songs instead of one whole one? Isn't it selling yourself short to say that people can't get through the whole song? Was it some weird compromise between the "Doobie Brothers" camp and the "Michael McDonald" camp? Well, "What a Fool Believes" is great.

Workin' In A Cocktail Bar

Look, I love "Don't You Want Me" by The Human League. I do. But I just don't have much time for all the parts of the song that are not specifically about the cocktail bar. Fortunately, the good people of the internet have addressed this rather glaring problem and uploaded their results to The Information Superhighway.

Enjoy.

Yet Another Event in Television History

The makers of The Greatest Event In Television History are nothing if not frank. The first 3 Greatest Events In Television History were failures, they say. But even so, they're back with a fourth attempt at the Greatest Event in Television History.

This time, the goal is to meticulously recreate the opening to the hit TV show "Bosom Buddies". This has special significance for me because I loved the show when I was a kid. The part in this video with Billy Joel is priceless.
