Darlene Love Alert

I almost forgot. Tonight’s the night! It’s Dave’s annual last show before Christmas. That means Darlene Love and “Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home).”

I almost forgot. Tonight’s the night! It’s Dave’s annual last show before Christmas. That means Darlene Love and “Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home).” I have written about this voluminously since this blog’s birth.

Here’s the listing from the Late Show site. What’s Mickey Rourke doing there? This is hallowed ground. This is tradition. Don’t be coming in promoting movies!

Tuesday, December 23

Darlene Love (“Christmas (Baby Please Come Home”))

I don’t record The Late Show anymore except this one.

Darlene Love Alert

I wait for this moment every year. Darlene Love makes her annual appearance with David Letterman this Friday, December 23. It’s worth taping.

She was on Saturday Night Live, singing “Frosty The Snowman” on-camera for a few seconds before a commercial break, and as the lead singer in Robert Smigel’s “Christmastime For The Jews.”

The Letterman appearance will be even better.

Blogger’s addendum: It is now Monday, December 19, 2005 and I am seeing lots of Google hits coming to my site from people searching “Christmastime for the Jews.”

I am surprised, especially since these hits are coming from many traditionally non-Jewish areas. Obviously, this short film struck a responsive chord.
