A SHOW ABOUT NOTHING PT.3

Funny thing, I didn't realize yesterday would be Columbus Day until after 5 in the afternoon last Friday, as I was talking to a girl and she mentioned it.

I probably would have gone to work, something that could have happened on the Seinfeld show, lol!

All things considered, Seinfeld was probably the funniest Television show ever.

And I was thinking, it would not have worked in any city other than New York!

Think about that...there's just no way- the apartments, stores, restaurants, streets, movies, etc.

The CHARACTERS are New York!

A few sound bites from the show and more of the music of Nothing, as I carry on with this odd topic.

And I will get to Christopher Columbus in the next and final chapter.

I think you'll like this one.

Here's the link to more Nothing (sounds strange doesn't it, lol?), at WLSO.FM:

Comment by Mike Pell on October 13, 2011 at 10:18pm: Oh, I particularly love that Shawn Colvin song.
Just something about makes me rock!

Comment by Mike Pell on October 13, 2011 at 10:14pm: RJ aka Captain Obvious,

Sorry for the delay, been busy.

So my greatest ever...high praise indeed, and now how do I live up to that, lol?

I knew long ago I would play Billy Preston on the Nothing show, I was just waiting for the right time.

Yes I played Kiss, I liked that Nothing To Lose the minute I heard it.

And I owe that to you.

I also know what it is about- I owe that to you too, lol!

Nothing On But The Radio has a sound that hooked me in when I first heard it on the radio some years ago, don't really know much else by the guy.

Oh man I love the Vandelay Industries episode...George comes running out with his pants down, lol!

You could do a lot worse than Stevie Wonder, give him a good listen.

The Golden Pell for "I Who Have Nothing", I'll take it, lol!

But I am shocked...shocked I tell you...that you've never heard it before- it's a CLASSIC!

For shame!

Nothing Succeeds Like Success, so I HAD to mention you.

And I always suspected you were handsome.

Now ask me if I care, lol!

Thanks for listening and writing Captain,

Mike

What a show! Your greatest ever!

I wondered if you'd get around to Billy Preston. Of course you did, you are the musicologist, I'm just an underling.

I can't believe you played a Kiss song. Nothing To Loose is awesome. You know, it is actually about "something". I won't say what.

I was totally surprised by the song that followed as well. Nothing On But The Radio is a really cool song from Gary Allan. He is one of the few current country artists that I really like. Great pick.

The George clip was fantastic. The Vandelay Industries bit was brilliant. One of the funniest shows ever. I always thought the "I think it moved" bit as well.

Stevie Wonder has a great voice. I've said it before, I'll say it again, I have to pick up some of his material.

...and the Golden Pell goes to...Ben E. King for his performance of "I Who Have Nothing". That's fantastic and a song I've never heard before.

Nothing Succeeds Like Success...Thank you Captain Obvious. My wife says that all the time (the Captain Obvious part), so I had to mention it here.

Great show my friend. And thanks for the mention. By the way, I'm extremely handsome.
