I came in to the show late, after the interview had begun. I caught on pretty quickly that Tom was into straight-man mode and that the guest was playing a role. But I did not know who it was. I had not caught up on the forum, so didn't see Tom's announcement.
So, I am in the chat, as gaughin, sadly, and somebody says something like "I think that's Fred Armisen."
Well, it sounds good to me, so I add a supportive "Yes, it does sound like Fred Armisen."
A few minutes pass, and he slips out of character for a line, and I think, yes, I am almost sure that's Fred Armisen.
So I announce "Hey, I think that really IS Fred Armisen."
No one bothered to tell me that the Fred Armisen appearance had been announced in advance by The Kid.
I felt so foolish.
Great selection of pre-show songs last night. 30 Days in the Hole? Are you kidding me? That got me so fired up when I listened to the archive a few minutes ago, I immediately got on Amazon to check out prices for a CD version of Rockin the Fillmore.
Awesome.
Interstellar Overdrive was an eye opener too, especially after I had adjusted to Camper Van Beethoven's version over the intervening years. Was it by Pink Floyd, or THE Pink Floyd?
