Won't Get Fooled Again on Classroom Instruments

[happybird]

They look like they're having a blast! When they took it down low before the scream I was laughing my ass off, and also at the very end.

10. in regards to the trump hair thing.....

(I loved the classroom instruments Won't Get Fooled Again... especially the end)

and I was also turned off by fallon playing with trump. I watched Stern the other night on Fallon and they talked about it.

...Stern reflected on his decision to support host Jimmy Fallon following the controversy after he messed up then-presidential-candidate Donald Trump's hair while appearing on the late night show in September 2016.

During the interview with Trump, Fallon asked and received permission to "mess up" Trump's hair. The host was instantly attacked afterward.

"...I write about this in the book," he told Fallon, whom he interviewed about the incident in Howard Stern Comes Again. "I don't know if you want me talking about it or what, but I talk about Jimmy. Jimmy was quite distraught when you had Donald Trump on and you had that whole incident where you rubbed his head."

"I had said to Jimmy, 'It is absolutely absurd that anyone would lay a trip on you. I would do the same bit,'" said Stern. "Everyone was curious what was going on in that bird's nest, and you wanted to sit there and see. I thought the bit was fantastic. I think people tried to blame you or say, 'Hey, Jimmy got Donald Trump elected,' this or that."

As someone who has faced a lot of criticism for his own interviews, Stern shared that he was empathetic toward Fallon. "I said to you, 'It will blow over,' and I believe it did, because I think your intentions were pure," he said.

In June 2018, Fallon explained his intentions for the bit in an interview with THR's Awards Chatter podcast. "I did not do it to 'normalize' him or to say I believe in his political beliefs or any of that stuff," he told THR's Scott Feinberg. Fallon added that the criticism that he faced "just got bigger and out of control. I saw other comedians from other shows making fun of me on Twitter, and I go, 'OK, now I'm just gonna get off.' They know the show. I'm just doing five hours a week. I get in at 10 in the morning, I work 'til seven at night and I'm just trying to make a funny show."

"I'm sorry. I don't want to make anyone angry — I never do and I never will. It's all in the fun of the show. I made a mistake. I'm sorry if I made anyone mad," he emotionally continued. "And, looking back, I would do it differently."

11. Loved the guy. 'Sorry', isn't enough for me on this one.

Jimmy makes me laugh...hard. I loved his show. That ended. Save your money Jimmy, you too Howard.
Howard can take a flying leap. That effin guy,....don't get me started. It's Friday.

2. Not much of a fan

but that was really cool. They had a great time and it was fun to watch.

And it just goes to show that good musicians can make good music on anything.

4. The xylophone really adds a nice touch to the song

Wish we could hear Townshend isolated because it looks like he was killing it, lol!

I'm not a big fan of Fallon, either. Aside from his Dump debacle, he's an awful, annoying interviewer. I do watch some of his clips that show up in my YouTube feed. Usually the lip synching contests and other musical bits.

6. I was thinking the same thing

about Townsend. I only watch, mostly, vids posted here of the latenite crowd. I usually skip Fallon unless it's a music thing like this. He looks, acts and sounds a lot like someone I know who has many similar personality traits, it's kind of weird watching someone who is almost a doppelganger.

3. Thanks that was great

[EarnestPutz]

5. Not bad, but I really liked Carly Jepson with the Roots and....

...the classroom instruments.

There have been other good ones, but this one comes to mind.

[EarnestPutz]

7. Or even better, The Muppets singing the....

...Sesame Street Theme Song, with some rap lyrics that actually are pretty good.

8. Hope Pete signed the uke for Fallon's memory wall

[klook]

9. I hate to see people destroy expensive vintage instruments

That was great! Thanks for posting!!

Too bad "Pick up my ukelele and play..." didn't fit the meter. It would also have been a nice touch to have a stack of those little pignose amps behind Pete, but then again, those aren't classroom instruments!

12. It works!
