The Gerry Todd Show and Mel’s Rock Pile were the gold standard of rock and roll television. Here’s a rare performance of the reunited Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young on the Todd show followed by the only television appearance of the shortlived The Queen Haters on Rock Pile.
Gerry Todd was the proto videophile nerd and the CSNY clip may be the first video mashup.
The Queen Haters only television appearance and a bonus video after the jump…
The brilliance of Bonzo Dog Band. Real genius never gets old. I remember as a teenybopper watching Magical Mystery Tour for the first time and thinking how dull it was until Vivian and the boys made their appearance and suddenly the movie became electric, exotic and dangerous.
Enjoy. Thank me later.
More of the Bonzos after the jump…
I am a 45 y/o karaoke singer from the Sacramento area looking for a woman to go out and sing some songs with. i would like to try working on some duets because that would be fun.
if you are a woman between the ages of 37 and 47 and are interested in calling me after viewing the video you can call me at…
I’ve got to give this dude credit for “breakin’ new ground in karaoke” and risking extreme ridicule back at the warehouse. He’s either a hopeless romantic or just plain hopeless. I admire his balls….and erect nipples.
He’s an electric cowboy and he’s damn good at what he does, workin’ that forklift all day, liftin’ piles of toilet paper, 96 cases of tea, water, eggs, chips and milk and stuff, droppin’ huge pallets all day long, and he’s lookin’ to be Marvin Gaye to your Tammi Terrell. He’s got no criminal record, none at all, you can check it out, just a DUI back when he was a kid in his 20s and he’s lookin’ for someone, some rock and roll chick, to sing with, a simple duet, some rock, maybe some alternative, blues, r&b…but no country cause he’s had bad experiences with country girls. Those country girls don’t understand his feminine side.
1981 was a dark time. Lennon had just been murdered and Reagan was freshly inaugurated. Thinking people all around the world were horrified that this clownish ignoramus had come to power and generations to come will be dealing with the ramifications of “Reaganomics”. I do remember this LP, released in the early 80’s, as being a therapeutic slice of gallows humor, though. Released by the wonderful Stiff Records label offshoot Magic Records,The Wit and Wisdom of Ronald Reagan is a blank record. It also sold 30,000 copies !
It’s not so much wedding bells as ‘execution yells’ as a killer of 12 marries his ‘fried to be’ on the electric chair. Barbara Wintergreen reports for CBN News.
Fan-f*cking-tastic!
There’s a bonus shot of a nude Matt Berry at the end. Blink and you’ll miss it!
