You Can't Hold On Too Long



I know this is going to drive Zelmo crazy. Ahh, if I lived my life by worrying about not irritating others, I'd never leave my bedroom.

Last night on The Colbert report, Stephen Colbert had Ric Ocasek on to support his rant about walking on water (Based on an old Cars video). In the end, they pulled out the Put On Notice Board to add The Journal of Professional Limnology, and Colbert asked as a gesture, if Ocasek had anybody he wanted to put On Notice.

Ric kind of grinned goofy, and said, “How about Todd Rundgren?”

Comedy gold, I tells ya! The audience didn't seem to get it, but I was rollin. (maybe it was that cigarette...)

So anyways, I was listening to the Cars today, and on a couple of the old songs, I could see where the Runt's voice would fill in just fine. So I downloaded a couple of the new songs, and they work pretty darn well, thankyouverymuch.

It's just luck that they aren't coming round here. Otehrwise I'd probably go, and have to endure the ridicule of IMS Zelmo.

But, jeez, couldn't they work up a different name?

  1. How about "That New Car Smell"

    Or "Who Do You Know Wants To Buy a Car?"

    I agree, awful name. Reminds me of a late night info-mercial from Detroit.

  2. I loved that! Ocasek offering his expertise on walking on water was one of the finest Colbert moments.

    The New Cars. Eh. I don't really see the point. I vote for The Smelly Pine Tree Thingies as the name of the new band.
