Bruce Springsteen Week

Bruce Springsteen Week concluded Friday on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon with an all-Bruce show. Springsteen was the first guest, second guest and musical guest, singing multiple songs. I am not a Bruce fan, myself, but I am an appreciator. I'm not out there buying any of the records but I'll enjoy the occasional track when it comes on the radio.

Regardless of any of this, I would be remiss if I didn't post this song. This is Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and a horn section and Tom Morello and The Roots and Jimmy Fallon performing "E Street Shuffle":

Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen

For unknown reasons, 80's Bruce Springsteen and 70's Neil Young appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to cover the song "Sexy and I Know it".

Triumph At The GCAs

Recently Triumph visited the Golden Collar Awards. In case you didn't know, (and you definitely shouldn't) the Golden Collar Awards is an Oscar-type ceremony that gives awards to animals. Yeah.

Here's the video:

NBA Jam / Pearl Jam

In yet another surprise performance, Pearl Jam stopped by Late Night to perform for no particular reason whatsoever.


Watching it live, I wasn't that impressed due to the fact that most of the lyrics were unintelligible. Listening to it now, with headphones, it's much better.

Cocoa

Lately Conan's been testing a new spin-off show and it just may be a hit. Following the success of the Puppy Bowl, Conan's made his own version called "Puppy Conan". That show now has its own spin-off "Hamster Conan" as seen in this clip.


Conan keeps promising that they'll do a real show from the "Puppy Conan" set at some point. I hope it happens because it's so lifelike, it's possible to trick yourself into thinking that he and Andy are giants. It's a great mind bender.

Conan O'Brien Came and Hit the Streets

Conan and one of his writers Deon Cole have lunch in an Inglewood "Soul Food" restaurant:


This segment is quite similar to an older segment where he and Al Sharpton visited a "Soul Food" restaurant in Harlem. Conan's quote was something like, "That's why they call it 'soul food' - because after eating it your soul will leave your body."
