Just thought I'd let ya'll know that MMJ will be on David Letterman on June 8th. This info from an extremely reliable source.

Hope is a good thing, but unless they create a Dondante radio edit (which I hope they don't), that will never be played on Letterman.

We have already seen Gideon and Anytime played on other late shows, maybe this time we'll see What a Wonderful Man. Although they have been playing the crap out of Knot Comes Loose on Sirius lately, I hope they don't play that...

i hope they throw down one big holiday, or just delve into their back catalog. i think Heartbreakin' Man would work perfectly. Or O.

one big holiday had its time to shine, they did it on conan. they need to mix it up. Wordless Chorus live is amazing, really something different. I also like Lay Low, great tune off of Z. They gotta go w/ something off Z, and i hope it's something they haven't yet performed on a tv show...

What a Wonderful Man is awesome live. That would be a good one, or a kick ass version of Lay Low.

Clarkwork · Apr 10, 2006, 04:55 PM

Actually it will be interesting to hear Dave's thoughts about the band. He always has something to say at the end about the musical guest and you can usually tell if he really likes them or not.

TomBarton · Apr 11, 2006, 06:52 PM

I think wonderful man would work best, Lay Low would be fine, but i like the solo work too much to cut it short for TV. also, they should probably stay away from wordless chorus, as jim doesn't play on that song. and for someone tuning into letterman and seeing MMJ for the first time; a guitarless jim james is not an impression i'd want to make.

then again - i don't know anything of the workings of these machines - so my opinion should be taken with several grains of salt

I'll wager it's Lay Low.

TheBigDonger · Apr 12, 2006, 10:03 PM

odds on Off The Record -200
odds on Lay Low are -175
odds on Wonderful Man are even
odds on Gideon are + 150
Don Dante +175
Wordless +150
It beats 4 U +200
any other tune from any album +250 (my guess would be Way That He Sings or One Big Holiday)

you want action, let me know. I am a pretty decent odds maker. obviously I am leaning towards Off The Record ;)
Good Luck.

I'll take 100 on Laylow and back it up with 50 on gideon. check's in the mail

I second that.

Easy Morning Rebel · Apr 24, 2006, 04:07 AM

Woohoo!!! Awesome news. I definitely agree about that they should play Dondante. I need to see if it's possible to make another good live version of that song as the Austin City Limits one. Not that I doubt it, because I don't but I just want to see that kind of perfection one more time.
