This week on Podcaturday I was just pretending to talk to Beans and Melzer when what I was really doing was trying to figure out what I could include in today’s post. Oh, and I also thought of ways to kill the two of them. I multitask. So after the jump, you will get a pic, a video an announcement and a boner (not really). But before that, you get to listen to the show and maybe click over to my Racist Tea Party Tumblr. Dr. Nob called from a ship, Adorable Kate got called out by me AGAIN (I’m waiting for you, Kate) and I’m seriously considering charging a buck for me to slander the person of your choice.

So I realize the odds of anyone not having seen this yet today are slim but fuck you guys. Some of us have jobs. Below is the Jimmy Fallon video from last night when he sang “Whip My Hair” while imitating Neil Young. And he sang it dead straight and it was really funny. And when Bruce Springsteen comes out in a ridiculous Jaoquin Phoenix fake beard and mustache and joins in it becomes gold.
Which brings me to Jones Beach.
I was showing the video to someone today and they said:
Bruce Springsteen came out and sang Rockin’ in the Free World with Neil Young one night at Jones Beach.
And I had forgotten that Jones Beach even existed. It’s a New York thing. Or I guess a Long Island thing? It’s on the South Shore (the pic is above), seats about 15k people and tends to feature acts that are no longer Madison Square Garden worthy but also not State Fair Material (yet). Check out their shows from this past summer. So it’s the kind of place where you can sit outside in good weather and hear songs you know and get surprised.
The surprises come in the form of Billy Joel showing up a few times a summer cause he’s around and playing with whoever’s there. It’s about the fact that the place is outside NYC and it’s legendary and if you go long enough you’ll see Ringo Starr show up and play drums for Jimmy Buffet or some shit. It’s the kind of place where stuff in the video below really happens and I guess it IS a New York thing. But the Lincoln Memorial is a Washington thing and people make special trips just for that. So maybe, if you like music a lot, and over the hill bands in particular, you might wanna make a pilgrimage. Who knows, maybe Bon Jovi will show up and sing with Chubby Checker…
He's gonna make fun of you....
This series of pix are for anyone who has ever been frustrated by the limitations of their computer skills or the ministrations of Nick Burns.
Either the water is underpriced or the soda is overpriced.
Questlove, the drummer for Jimmy Fallon’s band the Roots took this picture and put it on Twitter. I’m going to forego all the outrage and the jokes based on said outrage. I’m also going to avoid posing the potentially incendiary theory that the menu could be considered by some to be historically significant for black people. What I secretly hope is that a bunch of people flip out for real and then they will find out that some black person thought up the idea. That will confuse everyone. Also I guess my hope is no longer a secret.
Seriously, though. I really want to know what you think about this one. I mean – what if it didn’t say in honor of black history month? What if it said: by special request? What if it isn’t really from NBC? As much as I WANT to believe that it is real, how come they can’t spring for the NBC logo on their menu thingy? And how much is the NBC discount? And what if it was Jay Leno’s idea?
sigh.
so do your bitching in the comments. Or post ways it could be worse for NBC. But if you are gonna try to be funny, you better succeed.
