"Just Give A Kidney" - Hilarious, Star-Studded "30-Rock" Finale

Share this ARTICLE with your colleagues on LinkedIn .







Simply ignore this part: Sheryl Crowe, Bruce Springsteen, Eddie And The Cruisers, funk, jazz, Motown, Stax oldies, disco pop, Alison Krause, Issac Hayes, Chris Rea, The Foundations, Wilson Pickett, Fine Young Cannibals, Oingo Boingo, Alan Parsons, Michael McDonald, Michael Johnson, Michael Jackson, Otis Redding, Leo Sayer, Al Jarreau, The Platters, The Gap Band, Brownsville Station, Aerosmith, Squeeze, Billy Joel, Clay Aiken, Restless Heart, Cyrkle, Ides Of March....

 Here It Is!

"Just Give A Kidney" - The Hilarious, Star-Studded "30 Rock" Finale Is Here On The RadioDAZZ Blog for all of DAZZ-O-Philes and fans of the TV series 30 Rock! A Tina Fey triumph and a wickedly absurd [and seemingly innocuous] but subtly biting parody (or is it a satire?) of such star-laden "united-we-stand" music industry awareness/ exploitation group efforts as (for example) "We Are The World." Sometimes being cruel and being funny go together fist-in-glove....well at least philosophically. Then again, if the butt of your joke happens to overhear your sarcastic diatribe, and that person is, say your boss, or a really big chap in a biker bar, it could seriously reduce your career prospects as well as your life expectancy.

If you must use this combination, use it with great care -- because the RadioDAZZ guy not only cares about you, but also because he needs as much traffic to this site as possible in order to make some of his do-nothing affiliate program ads to pay off. Geez -- I give them real estate and they pay me a mere pittance.

Please enjoy this ridiculous video (click on the link or the player). How many rock icons can you pick out! Elvis Costello is wonderful. You've got an amazing variety of talent, doing something silly but fabulous!  Gotta love his outfit and overall style:

Elvis Costello Variety Show - DAZZITATION

Share this ARTICLE with your colleagues on LinkedIn .





Elvis Costello is an unlikely-looking musician. He comes across looking a bit like a disheveled rabbinical student (perhaps a cousin of Woody Allen's) waiting for answers. He is not an egomaniac. He is totally involved in his music, much of which is memorable, and several songs of which have become truly iconic. My favorites are "Red Shoes", "Allison", "Every Day I Write The Book", "Oliver's Army", and "Veronica," which was written in conjunction with Paul McCartney.

I am also totally fascinated with the pairing of brilliant songsmith Burt Bacharach and Elvis.

My first exposure to the potential there was when I saw them perform together in an "Austin Powers" movie.

Elvis actually performed a wonderful version of "I'll Never Fall In Love Again," a 1970's Burt Bacharach hit, performed originally by Dione Warwick.

Burt and Elvis mad an album (or maybe two) together, but the music seemed artful, but somehow morose. It Wasn't quite Burt and it wasn't quite Elvis. I was moved by the song "Toledo," but that was about the extent of it.

Take some time and listen to this brief collection of Elvis Costello Music. It's in no particular order, but each song has a special magic all its own. He added undeniable flash and panache to the later 1970s and the 1980s.

Now please begin clicking, coming back, and clicking some more, so you can make RadioDAZZ' day. If you love music (and me?), you're in for a great ride...

Elvis Costello - "Red Shoes" and "Allison"

Share this ARTICLE with your colleagues on LinkedIn .



The amazing and energetic Elvis Costello singing my two favorite songs in his repetoire. Two different sides -- two different moods -- sensitive, sarcastic lyrics. Pain throughout.  Did someone say "Revenge of the Nerd?" Hmm...
