He didn't look too good to begin with. Given that he got his first hit late in life, understandable. Thelma Huston "Don't leave me this way" (disco hit)

I thought club nouveau sounded very weak. Have always been a Glass Tiger fan, local band and all. Allan Frey is on the lost 80's lunch on Chum FM in Toronto sometimes. Billy Verra sounded good, but my first look at him was like wow the years got the better of him, but he wasn't that young 20 years ago either.

Making the most of herself. Don't like her hair, though. (Still has nice legs.) Until she hit the chorus, she was weak. Sounding better now. Actually kinda cute!!

Not bad for a 59 year old. ETA: Billy Vera is 61.

Don't know Cablejockey. I think there were only meant to be three at first but as it's such a hit they've done a couple (or 3?) more. The audience on the first shows looked unnaturally merry, I suspect there's an open bar somewhere! Or maybe there's a karaoke machine so they can sing along, but there's certainly something very strange about the audiences!

I bet this is fun for some of these folks--wonder if they still appear anywhere once in a while. Greg Kihn said he had to reinvent himself 3 or 4 times now. He's just published his 4th or 5th book. Says writing songs is a lot like writing a novel. His son just graduated from college as a guitar major. I love this Green Day song. Good choice, Greg!

Club Nouveau I Want To Thank You? Has a four year old--his family is now his center. Likes dominoes. Seems like a really sweet family guy. I love this song, too. Don't care for the backup singers. I like the female lead singer, though.

Did you catch that clip of Matt Lauer (Today Show--to be shown tomorrow) interviewing Tom Cruise? Doesn't look very friendly!

HP, when I went to IMDb to get the ages for the singers, it said that Billy Vera is still playing in LA clubs with the Beaters.

We must get different commercials, who didn't look friendly, Matt, Tom or both?

Glass Tiger Alan interviewed Beautiful home. Have a 10-month old baby. (Did I hear his wife designs dresses?) Missed the title of this song. (He's everything you want, he's everything you need.)

Tom looked PO'd at Matt. (Bet he was asking questions about his religion.)

Oh yeah I just saw that clip, well, I heard it, I didn't see it, but it sounded pretty contentious.

Good for Billy! Thanks, Half. I didn't like that second song by Glass Tiger. Billy Vera Does voiceovers. Produces compilations of old 40s and 50s music. Is a big record collector--has about 10-15,000 records! Performing "True"

I believe he said that his wife creates salad dressings. I could be wrong, dog is barking as well. I thought he said they were marked as Marcies.

Holy crap, Billy Vera doesn't sound too good right now! For the most part The covers of the new songs generally sound pretty bad, with the occasional pleasant surprise.

It's a shame I know so much about Tom. Colors my feelings too much. (I loved his movies---now, well, I still want to see War of the Worlds, but geesh, why does he have to be so weird????) Billy did great!! I liked that a lot! Thelma Huston Falling (by Alicia Keyes) Love this song. Think she'll do a great job with this.
