After debating Michael Jackson’s value versus his cost to this world, watching his kids cry on worldwide TV as Usher fakes tears, and sitting through that AEG dude pimping his “Michael Jackson Faces of Death Concert DVD” at the memorial, I’m about to vomit bile out of my eyeballs. It’s like being the only sober person at an Irish wake—even if you don’t know the deceased or the family in mourning, the whole damn situation is so painfully tragic that you feel like you’ve lost more for being there than the people who have actually lost a loved one.
So who can make everything all right on a day like this? How about the America’s #1 Yacht Rock Band? Yup, it’s the Knights of Monte Carlo. Quite frankly, a sincerely nostalgic/borderline ironic medley of soft rock is about the only thing that can save today.
Enjoy the live clips below, and remember: there probably is a God.
Rock Me Gently
Escape (the Pina Colada Song)
What a Fool Believes
How Long?
Feel better now? Good, because there’s going to be a whole lot more of that oops-I-walked-into-the-wrong-support-group feeling tomorrow.
