'60s Alert!  The "i" Channel (formerly PAX-TV) which has recently resurrected the likes of Green Acres, Charlie's Angels and Mama's Family, is now reviving The Monkees. They're showing a 6-ep "marathon" tonite.

Barry Manilow on The Colbert Report. (Barry and Steven duetted on "I Write the Songs".) Genius!

Maybe now he'll get the respect he deserves...

CSI: NY

I was just flipping thru the channels, and stopped on CSI:NY (I like to keep track of Due South alumni, of which Melina Kanakaredes is one of the more successful) and caught the opening credits.  Perhaps you guys already knew this, but the Who's "Baba O'Riley" is the title music.

Seems like a pretty tacky show.

And "Who Are You" is the theme of the original CSI. (Hey -- kiddie porn's expensive!)

I'm not terribly surprised; the genie is out of the bottle as far as my 'sacred' music being used for secular purposes.  I guess I could kind of imagine "Who Are You?" in a detective show, but what does "Baba O'Riley" have to do with anything?  BTW, Roger Daltrey is supposed to guest star next week!

caught part of the Macy's Parade, and there on a float looking painfully old were Hall & Oates. And it was the NY Daily News "Big Apple" float -- they couldn't find actual Noo Yawkers for that one?

But kudos to CBS for having newly "out" Neil Patrick Harris as their "sideline reporter". I'm sure that deal was made before he made his big announcement, and they will surely get letters from the fundies.

Not nearly so much so as Barry Manilow, who was singing a Burt Bacharach song and looking quite stretched, pulled, dyed, botoxed and generally had the look of one who'd overdone the cosmetic surgery thing and now couldn't stop. (See also: Joan Rivers, Suzanne Somers, Marlo Thomas (have you caught those St. Judes Hospital ads lately?), ad infinitum.)

Tom Waits Alert! He's performing on the Daily Show tonite.

("followed by a Public Service Announcement about how cool smoking makes your voice sound", quipped Jon Stewart on the promo. LOL!)

For those who hadn't heard this yet, the halftime entertainment at this year's Super Bowl will be...

Prince.

As EW quipped, "...because if there's one thing Super Bowl audences love, it's raw yet ambiguous sexuality."  LOL!

Oh, and Corrine Bailey Rae and KT Tunstall are on Austin City Limits this evening.

I'm usually up about 3-4AM and I was listening to ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike in the Morning. One of the hosts (who is like 40 or so) was mentioning how old he felt because Prince is now considered "safe" when he wasn't in the early 80's to perform in the Super Bowl. He joked he hoped something will happen to make it memorable.

So Stephen Colbert has been flogging (for weeks) his big "guitar shred-off" with the guitarist from the Decemberists, Mr Funk.  The entire show tonite was built around it. They had a panel of judges in cluding someone from the NYT and NY governor-elect Eliot Spitzer, and Henry f--ing Kissinger, fer chrissakes, did the let-the-shredding-begin honors.

Anyway, Funk does his solo, and then Colbert steps up and promptly "cuts his finger" and can't continue, and he pleads for someone to sub for him. And out steps... Peter Frampton.

But the big surprise or me was when Rick Neilsen of Cheap Trick came out at the end to play the Colbert Report theme music, which, I was astounded to learn, he wrote. (Astounded because it's always sounded to me like a clone of the Daily Show theme music, which was written by They Might Be Giants.)
