There Are Literally Not Enough Jokes
I’m extraordinarily late in reporting this news - I first heard about it before the new year - but I got an email from reader Tom G. today that reminded me and made me chuckle all over again:
Dave Matthews will be playing the patient in tonight’s episode of House.
Anyone who knows me knows I’m a big fan of House and used to be a big fan of Dave Matthews, so it would make sense that I report the guest spot as soon as I found out about it. But, honestly, I was too overcome with jokes to focus on one. “Does Dave play a patient so riddled with drugs that he mumbles everything he says?” “Will this episode feature a 17-minute jam session?” And so on. Dave plays a mentally challenged musical savant, which isn’t too far off from the truth. Let’s just hope that House has enough Vicodin to put up with listening to selected tracks from Stand Up.
Tonight’s episode will certainly be worth checking out. And once you’re done that, go get the first two seasons on DVD, and be amazed at the wonder that is Hugh Laurie’s American accent.

Yeah, we all did use to be big fans of DMB? What happened to that?

The episode was actually really, really good–it was nice seeing Red not being Red, and Dave Matthews was a pleasant surprise–and I loved that he squared off with House with regards to musical ability, as it made him seem a little more human.
Say what you will about him and DMB, but Some Devil is still one of the finest solo efforts released in recent years…
