You Can Watch Yourself While You Are Eating

The episode of Bands Reunited featuring The English Beat premieres tonight at 5:00pm and 10:00pm on VH-1. I'm enjoying the show, but the episode about The New Kids On the Block was totally lame. You kind of know when the running time for an episode is only 30 minutes (when they're usually an hour) that the band will NOT be reunited.

Luckily, tonight's episode is an hour long. But I really wish the show's producers had contacted me when they were searching for singer Dave Wakeling. I know a certain racetrack he loves to perform at, and man, do the fans love him there! (Warning: Link launches a QuickTime movie.)

hahaha---that must be the guy that the musician had a special chuck and buck style relationship with in his youth.

alas, that guy did not return for Mr. Wakeling's second-straight-year at Bay Meadows. And with this "Bands Reunited" stint, I fear Dave's days at the racetrack are behind him!

Oh god, I can't remember. The one who is currently on "The Surreal Life" said yes because, duh. He's a VH-1 whore (Jordan Knight? Night? McKnight? Something like that.) And I think he had a brother in the group, so he of course said yes. But Donnie of course said no (he's a thespian now.) And the rest couldn't be bothered to..DO IT FOR THE FANS!

Dude, he had a SERIES! On the television! Last year! Called "Boomtown."

Actually, it was a pretty good show. But not as good as an NKOTB reunion, G.
