The Black Eyed Peas are going to headline this season's Super Bowl halftime show.  UGH! >:(

I guess they ran out of old-fart classic rockers.

and their new single is an "update" of "I Had the Time of My Life", the Dirty Dancing anthem. Patrick Swayze is rolling over in his grave.

Get thee to a TV with the Centric channel posthaste --  a "Soul Train" marathon! JUust caught a Barry White/Love Unltd episode with Glodean and the girls doing the fantabulous "It May Be Winter Outside (But in My Heart It's Spring)". I'm in soul heaven.  And here's the Temprees wearing white tuxes with silver bowties. Lawd have mercy.

a 1975 Soul Train with the Dells and Bloodstone -- the latter rockin' some serious bright red suits, including a big fat dude who's shirtless and, er, shouldn't be. Man-boobs before anybody called 'em that.

Another stellar Soul Train from 1977 with The Whispers doing their disco-fied Bread cover and this is the first time I've seen a clip of the late Johnny "Guitar" Watson back in the day -- he looks like Sly, if Sly had stayed away from coke.

Here’s another one to add to our "Songs that feature banjo" list:

Silver and Gold, as sung by Burl Ives as Sam the Snowman in Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer



Of course, you don’t actually HEAR the banjo, but it’s there. :)

Last night on Jimmy Fallon Show, McCartney performed "Scrambled Eggs" version of "Yesterday." Jimmy did a great job singing with Paul and adding harmonies. You can tell it was the thrill of his lifetime to actually sing with Sir Paul. Paul also performed "Here Today," his tribute to John:

And, this actually aired on CNN (48-sec clip):
CNN had planned to air a scene from the film "Dumb and Dumber" as an introduction to a segment on unusual treatments for digestive diseases in men, but CNN producers cut from a news piece on student protests in Europe straight into Jeff Daniels' personal moment:

lawd, it's a late-'84 Soul Train with the Staples doing their fab cover of "Slippery People", with Donna Summer yet to come, tho' she didn't really have any big hits at that time.

ETA: ah, she's doing the forgettable "Supernatural Love", which I, um, forgot.

WGN America is looking to give Dick Clark/Ryan Seacrest etc etc a run for their money on New Year's (Rockin') Eve by presenting "At Daryl's House" this NYE -- that's Daryl Hall. And (presumably) friends.

LAWD! A 1974 Soul Train ep with the Bay Area's own Natural Four in sherbet-colored jumpsuits doing "It's Love That Really Counts", a follow-up to "Can This Be Real". And they're just the warm-up for Kool & the Gang!  Hollywoooooooooooooooooood!

OK, this Daryl Hall thing airs at 8pm Pacific on WGN -- it's a 2-hour compilation of clips from his web show.  Check out this stunning rendition of "Wait For Me" (one of my fave H&O songs) by Todd Rungren

Marvelous!  Perfect melding of the two.

Train notwithstanding, this has been a terrific show -- Smokey Robinson's still got it. And Miz Sharon Jones was s-s-s-smokin'.
