My sentiments, exactly. But then, I thought he should have retired after Woodstock. When Carlo's starts soloing, you can throw a load in the wash and it'll finish before Mr. Santana's sustain fades out.

My kingdom for a YouTube video of Andrea Martin playing Sofia Loren, as she explores different ways of "branching out": wine, bath oil, and meatball subs.

Man: Gimme a double meatball sangridge wit' provolone.

Sofia: Would you like Sofia's Special Sauce with that?

Man: Naaah. That stuff gives me gas.

Has Santana morphed into a Rock War Criminal, the kind who should may be forced to go into hiding in Brazil before being brought to justice for a Rock Crimes trial? If nothing else, he has now officially hijacked his Look from Zoot from The Electric Mayhem on The Muppet Show.

Seeing him in action in these ads made me think of a possible future RTH topic: which musician is/was least equipped to cross over into acting? To give it some legs, it could be open to suggestions for the very limited roles said non-actors might be able to pull off. I don’t know, this may need to be workshopped a little.

Alexmagic, when you've got the time, bring that topic suggestion into The Back Office, polish it up, and set it free. I think it's got legs!

I also love the thought of a Rock War Criminal going into hiding. I'm still laughing at the thought.

Where's Rock Argentina? Or Rock South Africa?

Rick asked:
Where's Rock Argentina? Or Rock South Africa?

Japan? Germany? Las Vegas?

Either Ringo's All-Star Band or one of Paul Schaeffer's Hall of Fame show jam collectives?

Ringo's band is exactly right! You go there and play the several songs that established your good reputation in the first place, and if you emerge at all you emerge humbler and more dedicated to what got you in the position to commit a Rock Crime in the first place!

Man, the Ringo's All-Star Band concept is brilliant. Alexmagic and Rick nailed this one. Well done!

Wikipedia has an All-Starr band entry that includes the variations on the line-up through the years. Check out the "Ninth All-Starr Band" in 2003. Argent, Billy Squier, Sheila E., Edgar Winter, Richard Marx and of course, Hamish Stuart.

I think Rick's summation of the All-Starr Band as Rock Argentina/Brazil idea is dead-on and possibly glossary worthy, but now I'm more interested in hearing people's "dream" All-Starr band lineups.

Hamish Stuart!!!!!! Perfect.

Alexmagic, feel free to open a separate "Dream" All-Starr Band lineup on The Main Stage, or we may conduct our business here. Great topic. I'll await your call on this before posting my "dream" lineup.

Hard to top any band with Richard Marx *and* Hamish Stuart!
