Really? Who? What person in cyberspace is looking at the Wallflowers’ sophomore album? I have a hard time believing this.
I wonder if it’s the same guy who’s looking at razors. I wonder if it’s Jakob Dylan.

‘Survivor All-Stars’: The Dragon Slayer Is Vanquished
Before we get into this past week’s Tribal Council, let’s hear from Amanda (I think it’s Amanda. Eight weeks in and I’m just now able to keep Amanda and Danielle straight. And Candace and Courtney).
Insightful stuff there, Amanda; really eye-opening.
So Coach claims to have survived an a choose your own adventure of dangerous predicaments in exotic locations, facing down vicious natives and brutal conditions with only his cunning (and tai chi) to protect him. Unfortunately, for Coach, here on Survivor: All-Stars he encountered the ultimate threat in the form of Russell Hantz. And no amount of tall tales of enduring against insurmountable odds could save Coach this time. And, really, he can boast all he wants about loyalty and cowardice, but he has no one to blame but himself. He refused to vote for Russell two weeks ago and then decried the result when Boston Rob was eliminated. And with his mancrush out of the picture he decided to take on the leadership role, and in doing so sent up the “varsity” team in the bowling reward challenge, because he so desperately wanted to win the bounty of a smorgasbord of (cold) pizzas.

‘Survivor’: All-Stars???
Last night’s Survivor felt more like a blooper reel clip show that should air as filler before the final episode, because it was teeming with just sloppy, weak, almost buffoonish play, both physically and strategically. Don’t have much time today, so we’re going to make our thoughts quick.
If the high school where Coach heads up the girls soccer team ever needs someone to helm the basketball squad, they would probably be better off looking in another direction.
Colby, stirred on by James’ “Superman in a girdle” comment last week, really turned it on. And wouldn’t let anything (or any middle aged woman) get in his way.
So how to sum up the week?
Well, a strong, strong contender was “Always Be Copping a feel” (Colby, looking in your direction).
Or it could be “Always Be Calling out,” for the awesome way Russell recommended to Rob that they vote out Sandra or Courtney (pointing to the two of them, no more than 3 feet away, and stating “one of these.” Brilliant.)
But no, our A-B-C phrase of the week is brought to us by Coach, who was torn between his mancrush Rob and his commitment to Russell and in the end didn’t choose either side. That’s not being loyal or honorable, not in this game. It’s being meek and afraid. So, for this week, it’s:
Always Be Cowardly
Thanks, Coach!

LOST: “The Package”
Randy Jackson and I had a similar reaction to this week’s episode of LOST:
Something That Maybe Should Have Been an April Fools’ Prank: ‘Weird: The Al Yankovic Story’
I would go see 120 minutes of this.

Muppet Thursday: Surprisingly Not a Muppet April Fools’
Muppet Studios uploaded another one of their delightful videos today, although it curiously doesn’t appear to tie into April Fools’ Day. One would think that if they were going to debut a video on April 1st it would be some sort of Muppet prank. But then again, maybe by not delivering an April Fools’ joke they’ve executed a reverse prank. Maybe the absence of the prank is the prank. Outsmarted us again, Muppets!
ANYWAY, this new video finds a furry, faux-bunny ear’d Muppet Monster hunting wabbit while crooning (murdering) the Ben E. King classic “Stand by Me.”
Not my favorite of the Muppet viral video series but damn do these uploads look good. It’s like the monster is stalking his prey right inside this coffee shop. AH! Stay away from my jasmine green tea!

Was Crystal Bowersox Inspired By ‘Growing Pains?’
Last night on American Idol Crystal Bowersox wowed us yet again by taking on Gladys Knight & the Pips’ “Midnight Train to Georgia,” stepping out from behind the acoustic guitar to behind a piano and then stepping out from behind said piano. Despite what Simon said, it was lovely to see another side of her, because no matter the instrument or the shoes or the hair it was still quintessential Bowersox.
But, as my sister remind me, many of us (or just my sister and I) best know this classic tune as performed by Kirk Cameron and Tracey Gold on Growing Pains. Could it be that Bowersox grew up addicted to the show just like us? Will she put her own spin on “Show Me That Smile” during “Classic TV Themes Week? One can only hope and pray (although it seems that Chris Daughtry has beat her to it).
The Seaver version (starts about 30 seconds in):
BOWERSOX!!!!
