Dancing with the Stars
I've been watching this season of Dancing with the Stars (please don't judge-its my guilty pleasure) and they always have some kind of guest appearances by major artists. Tonight-they had the Beach Boys with John Stamos! Now I know I've said a lot over the semester-but you might remember when we talked about the Beach Boys and the '60s I mentioned that although they were most popular during the '60s and '70s-they still remained on the scene of American popular music until recent times. When Full House was in its heyday ('90s)-the Beach Boys would periodically make appearances and Uncle Jesse (John Stamos) would always play with them. Now I know that Stamos used to tour with them-but I still couldn't help laughing when I saw that the legendary Uncle Jesse would be joining them on Dancing with the Stars. Did anyone else happen to see the performance? They did a mash-up (to use a Glee phrase) of "California Girls", "Fun, Fun, Fun" and "Kokomo"-some of my favorite Beach Boys songs. Brian Wilson's may not be what they used to be-but they still put on a great performance. I'd love to hear other comments from any of you who saw the show.
