Jailhouse Rock Meets Coming to America

Do we suppose that little, seventeen year old "Archie" Archuleta had any idea who or what his costumer was referencing with this last Tuesday's outfit?



Probably not. But I did.

It's strange because it was Neil Diamond night. If the person dressing Archie wanted to pay homage to the Neil, he should have spiffed him up in a really spangly shirt with shoulder pads.

Just kidding, Neil! Your wardrobe choices over the last couple of decades have been almost uniformly bad - but you know what? It doesn't matter in the slightest. You are and forever will be The Neil and you rock.

Want to learn a new word? Watch Brooke White's version of "I'm a Believer" and then look up the word "lugubrious." It's pronounced luh-GOO-bree-us.



She's gone. Castro should be next but it may be Syesha. It will be an all-David sing-off before long.

P.S. I was really disappointed nobody sang Neil Diamond's "Turn On Your Heart Light," the unofficial theme song to E.T.

P.P.S. As much as I love the Neil, that new song he sang could be marketed as an over-the-counter sleep aid.

I don't get how Archie can have such a magnificent singing voice when his normal speaking voice is so effeminate and annoying. He blows them all away in the group numbers, that's for sure.

Mark ! You continue to amaze me w/your very cross-generational take on things ! Neil Diamond is an absolute fav of mine. Heather Davidson (Xross st. in 80's) and I went to his concert at Pine Knob and it was such fun. The only other concert I ever went to was The Mormon Tabernacle Choir on the lawn at the Knob, too. What does that say ?

You also are spot on w/AI ! Sad to see you go, Brookie (not!),but hang in there, Daves squared ! And what is this ... costumer ? Between the Daves and Jason, the only costumer i recognize is DI !!!
