I'll agree to some extent about the band's soullessness - the singer in particular seems to be going through the motions every time he opens his mouth. A few weeks ago they did a bit which involved the singer doing a parody-lyric version of Cee Lo Green's "F*** You," and the bit flopped - in part because the singer barely seemed to be trying. But the thing I like about Minor's band is that they're not repetitive. Unlike all the other late night bands, Eubanks' band played the same material over and over and over and over. Minor's band keeps trying new things, and it makes me less likely to tune out when the band starts playing. > My thoughts on Lindsay's "Tonight Show" appearance: > > First off, the single male in me would like it known that I thought > she looked terrific.

But based on the clips I've seen so far, all I'll say is, I'm glad to know that she still does the trick for somebody. Me, I think she crossed the line from cutie to skank years ago. -Tim -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
