I just watched the show and that was HILARIOUS!

Neil has a drum dependency! LOL What a killer intervention. hehe

Thanks for the link for sure, BBBro

PS: What kind of biggest fan ever doesn't know Neil's favorite color?!!? Shocked

Or how to pronounce his name!!!!!!!

Mike and I sat right up and commented on that too! I'm like, "He can't be too much of a fan if he can't say Neil's name right!"

He woke up after the five beginning notes of Cygnus X1 (that ends Tom), runs over, thanks them and shakes their hands individually. Then you get his traditional theme song and he appears at his desk shaving, then, picks up a newspaper and begins to read. After 30 seconds he reaches over and "flushes the toilet!"

That was classic!!! Thanks so much for sharing that!!!

And I couldn't get over how much fun Neil looked like he was having. It was a pleasure to see them all chill and have a good time. More! More!

My dad has hats like that, without the snakes and arrows on em, they are like mechanic hats, help keep stuff out of your hair, absorb sweat yet have no peaks or anything to get in the way as far as I can tell.

I read that Jimmy is not the fan...Colbert is.....Jimmy not being a fan and being portrayed as one was a gag too.

Not sure if that's true though......

And that is just how it is.......That game blows if you are a drummer.

Especially when you know the parts down pat.
