GLAD I MISSED IT
DC...

I'd miss it again, given the opportunity.

|
F Parella...
|
I hear ya. But Sean's voice is very high-pitched, almost like Yoko's,
and it could wake you up. Like an alarm clock.
fishandchipp...

His voice does sound like they're trying to pull a silver spoon outta
his ass

I just saw him. He sang a song, and talked briefly with Letterman. It
dahldude...
|
Was he with group? Or solo?
Salvador Astucia...

He was with a group and he played acoustic rhythm guitar. There was a
core rock-style ensemble (bass, drums, etc.), plus a quasi-classical
lineup, fairly large as I recall (5 to 10 pieces), but I didn't count
them. It was quite professional sounding. It's tough to pass judgment
from just hearing one song, particularly a mellow one. But I could tell
he knows what he's doing musically. I got the impression he intended to
keep the mood low-key, rather than coming out trying to rock the world.
Given his heritage, that might have been a wise move.

was just light chit-chat and only lasted about a minute. The song was
nice, but mellow. It's difficult to judge a mellow song the first time
you hear it. His voice is much higher than his father's, but he looks
remarkably similar. Sean told Letterman that his album was inspired by
an ex-girlfriend who messed up his life and slept with a friend of his,
and the friend has since passed away. Letterman commented, "Now I'm
getting depressed." Sean quickly replied, "Would you like some prozac?"
And he reached in is coat pocket as if to pull out a few pills. I guess
that kind of humor runs in the family. I wished he would have talked
more about his life in general, his dad, his mom; that sort of thing.
But he's doing his own thing. That's all that matters.

Thanx Sal, your response was the best of the bunch!

The girlfriend I believe was Bijou Phillips. I forget the name of
Sean's male friend, but he is the son of the owner of Tavern on the
Green. I believe Sean was good friends with this young man since he
was a boy . . . . it must have been a terrible blow to find out your
girlfriend slept with a supposed good friend.
BlackMonk...
|
It might be worse to find out your good friend slept with your girlfriend.
Or, as Augie Meyers once said, and I realize this joke is older than he is,
"My best friend ran off with my wife. I really miss that guy."

It's a terrible blow to find out your girlfriend is blowing your
supposed best friend

Thanks! Now I know what channel to avoid! :)
dahldude...
|
?!?!
I didn't know you didn't like...
terra...
|
Actually I am totally indifferent to Sean, and Letterman. Besides, I'm too
dahldude...
|
Careful, Donz is in the house!
terra...
|
Wellll.....I am. The local news station here plays the 'best of' Letterman
each weekend morning newscast so I catch up on the better bits then.
|
|
old to stay up that late anymore.
dahldude...
|
Start drinking one hour later and call me in the morning. Make that in
the afternoon, not in the morning...
terra...
|
But.....what would I do for that hour? Besides get the shakes.
|
|
Dale Houstman...
|
They invented VCRs a long time ago now. And how old are you? I'm 56 and
even I can stay up that late. Are you skipping vitamin requirements?
terra...
|
Yup. If it's healthy it doesn't pass these lips.
If there's a reason to stay up that late I suppose I could manage.
Letterman ain't it.
dahldude...
|
After that, it was Craig Ferguson show and the buxom Marie Osmond.
Heavy on the buxom. Or maybe just heavy buxom. Still has a makeout
face. Check yer in-box...
terra...
|
She is still sute, thanks for the pix. She does fill the chair rather
generously, but in all truth so would I.
TAR...
|
What is it about Marie Osmond that men like so much? I've heard other
guys speak this way, too.

|
How do you think they managed the last season once Jan got big ta-ta's?
Runnnerr...
|
Yeah, Marsha AND Jan Brady. What those poor step-brothers must have
gone through living in the same house with them, and their bodacious
dahldude...
|
the dirty laundry (before Alice got to it)?
abe slaney...
|
oh jeez - Alice, too?
dahldude...
|
C'mon, you know Alice loved doing carpets...
Runnnerr...
|
I don't remember Alice ever mentioning a boyfriend or getting laid on
her day off or even ever seducing one of the Brady boys. Maybe she WAS
a shrub scout after all.
TAR...
|
Nah, she always used to talk about her wild nights with Sam the
Butcher... getting porked.
- Donna
Runnnerr...
|
Do you think that Alice was a screamer?
TAR...
|
I heard she used to scream, "Where's the beef?!!" :O

Runnnerr...

|
|
Runnnerr...
|
Wait sec, you're implying that Alice also had a thing for Marsha?
Ugh!!! I can see Marsha and Jan going at it. Or even Marsha and her
mother, Florence Henderson was pretty good looking back then in a weird
sort of way. A Marsha/Carol Brady tag team might have been pretty hot,
but Marsha and Alice? That's really barf territory you're getting into.
johnny b. love...
|
No, it was Mrs. Brady and Greg and that was in real life.
|
|
|
ta-tas.

I was tuned in through the lizard segment, left the room, then spaced.
So, did anyone catch it, other than Donz's SuperBetamax?
donz5...
|
Hey! I heard that!
dahldude...
|
Did Sean just play or did he say something provocative?
F Parella...
|
What it was was extremely boring and bland. His voice and stage
presence are weak to nonexistent. There's no way he'd be on Letterman
without the Lennon name.
dahldude...
|
I wish I would have not spaced PVRing it, dammit...
I'm not a fan, but I want to at least have a looksee to see what he's
up to...
BibsBro...
|
|
donz5...
|
Sean's chat reaffirms why so few music performers on the show are given
a panel.
dahldude...
|
At least he didn't say something about "Dad" that grated...
|
Dale Houstman...
|
Oh come on: it was the last little segment after the last commercial,
which is usually reserved for a few final comments from Dave. Given
Sean's "lineage" Dave obviously thought he merited a brief reappearance.
There is scarcely time to blow one's nose, and it is hardly meant to be
a showcase for any performer's conversation skills. Sean did as well as
could be expected given the spot's drawbacks, and his little joke about
Prozac was funny enough.
donz5...
|
I saw a self-absorbed near-31-year-old pampered rich kid whose unique
lineage has allowed him privileged exposure to hawk unbelievably
meritless music. He and Paris Hilton would self-implode if they ever
met.
fattuchus...
|
I believe Elliot MIntz does PR for both of them . . . perhaps they have
met!
|
The topper, for me, was the self-pitiful story about a broken female
relationship caused, in his view, by his best friend who had then died,
and this was deemed a "tragedy" in _Sean's_ life.
This is the stuff of spoiled teenagers, not near-31-year-olds.
F Parella...
|
I couldn't agree with you more on Sean's appearance on the show.
As for Sean and Paris Hilton, I heard Mintz was thinking of employing
her as Sean's beard, but things didn't work out.
|
Runnnerr...
|
Sean broke up with a girlfriend? My gosh! This has never happened to
anyone before, has it?
