Franklin Bridge Gets Sent Back To Philadelphia
I’m starting to think that my TiVo is trying to dissuade me from ever sullying its hard drive with the ratings disaster that is The Next Great American Band, because once again, it thwarted my attempts to record this week’s episode, which featured the top seven bands performing Lieber & Stoller songs and the shock elimination that was teased last week. Yes, the chops-filled funkin’-for-God band Franklin Bridge was sent home, which shocked Sheila E. and the blonde dude from Tres Bien!, but didn’t surprise me at all; the lead singer’s attempts to clean up the not-even-that-bawdy poetry of Long Island’s bard, Billy Joel, most likely offended all the people who were just tuned into Band as a way to bide their time before Don’t Forget The Lyrics. Because I really think that’s the only reason people are even watching the show at this point anyway.
