Now, I'm not going to be a snitch because I've heard bad things about snitches, but someone from
this very newsgroup appeared on the Tonight Show the other night.

We can do this one of two ways - everyone who was not on the Tonight Show can say so, or the guilty
party can step forward. There will be no punishment, just hearty congrats and cries of "Wow, now
there's a hoopy frood who knows where his towel is."

It wasn't me.

It's been five whole minutes. Nothing but silence.

For those of you who'd rather gargle a sack of driveway gravel than sit through an entire episode of Jay Leno, the droids you're looking for appear at about the 43 minute mark.

Before I end up saying something stupid... Mike, congratulations. That must have been a hell of a lot of fun, and quite a thrill to boot! We're all proud of ya, son.

Kenny Aronoff? What happened to Chad Smith? Oh, thanks Google... RHCP tour. Hey, works for me, Aronoff's a great drummer.

What surprised (and pleased) me most is that Mike's the loudest thing in the mix, apart from the vocals. That's kinda cool. What surprised me second most is that they felt they needed someone of Mike's prodigious talents to play something so — not trying to be hurtful here, but — pedestrian? Mind you, I love seeing Mike get a sweet gig like that — just the cookies in the green room would have been enough for me — but music of this pedigree needs Mike Keneally on keyboards like it needs Joe Satriani on guit... oh. Never mind.

How'd I do?

I learned how to make em dashes the other day,

Good call - I started out looking for just a performance clip, but they don't separate those out.
Just the interviews and comedy bits.

And now you have prevented the accused from stepping up to cleanse his soul. Nice - well, if this
little incident results in his eternal damnation, I hope you can afterlive with yourself!

Other than the eternal damnation thing...

Seriously, congrats Mike - it's so incredibly cool to see someone I've met and who has greeted me by
name show up on an iconic show that I grew up watching, even if it isn't the Carson version any longer.

Thank you for the congrats guys. It WAS fun. No cookies in the green
room though. And Ron, if you carefully analyze the keyboard part and
hear how seamlessly it blends with the guitar part, you'll realize
something or another about its unpedestrianity. I made up a word!

So, no cookies...but did you try to make out with Julianne Moore? Even if only in your mind?

I did.

I'll have to give it another listen, paying more attention to the finer detail. I do have a habit of missing the trees for the forest sometimes. Probably an unfortunate prejudice leading me to assume there would be no finer detail to pay attention to. That's not cool. What would the Red Rocker say?

Speaking of which, I hope there's some truth to the anecdote I heard about the title of their latest album. As I heard it, Chad Smith suggested calling the album Chickenfoot IV, but Sammy thought that was taking the joke too far and said they should go with III instead. I don't know if it's true — if it ain't, it oughta be — but something tickles me about the idea of Sammy Hagar being the advocate of comedic restraint in the band. Whoa, tap the brakes there, buddy. Roll that one back a notch before someone gets hurt. It's not like we're in a band called Chickenfoot or anything.

Of all the reasons to move to the US, I don't think being able to
watch Jay Leno would rank very high.

If somehow Santorum wins in November, I'm moving to Vancouver BC. I've already started to research the process. Fortunately I see that as a very low order of probability, but improbable isn't impossible. If Santorum were to somehow get the GOP nomination, there would be some degree of a repeat of 2008 where Santorum would carry the bible belt and Obama would carry the coasts. That would leave the election in the hands of states like Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio. Who knows. I will not remain a US citizen if Santorum is elected.

And congrats to Mikey. :)

Well the good citizens of Ohio just voted out Dennis Kucinich who was
one of the very very very few people in congress that is not a
complete fucking moron. If you're betting on the good people of Ohio
for an intelligent choice then you might as well just go rub your
knuckles in shit.

Now, if you take and play "March Of The Penguins" on video with the
sound down and you use "Evidence Of Humanity" as the soundtrack, then
you have something very nice. I admire creatures that survive in a
barely inhabitable environment. It might be rough down there but at
least it's cleaner than Pennsylvania. On the whole I'd rather be
gobbled up by a killer whale than have to smell the rotting garbage
and politics around here. Fuck.

He's right you know. Us Buckeyes are nuts. At least we didn't rub our
knuckles in Santorum. (Almost). Ick.

Well, as Pennsylvanians, my wife and I see what Santorum's doing, the success he's having, and we
look at each other and say, "What the hell is happening here? Are people not paying attention to
this? Do they actually hear what this moron says?"

Ugh...I'd almost rather deal with santorum than Santorum. No, check that - I would rather deal with
santorum.

Actually, that's a reason you SHOULD move to the US. Although admittedly
not for your sake.

I wasn't on the Tonight Show the other night, but I assume that's true
for everybody. Whatever night they were on, they weren't on on the other
one. Some other one.

The last time I was on The Tonight Show, Johnny Carson was hosting it.
And I was sound asleep.
