hootie still rocks

tay and i caught part of the kennedy center honors on wednesday. had never caught the show before, but we found ourselves unexpectedly rocking out. it was hootie and the blowfish's rendition of "i get around" and "california girls" to honor beach boy brian wilson that got tay and me dancing in front of the tv! although the beach boys were before my time, their songs are among the classics!!! despite being bashed by some of the journalists, i think hootie's updated, revved up version was *awesome* (no other performance had the whole audience on their feet like that). some things to look for on the video:

1. @:59 - "w", trying to play it cool while presidentially bobbing his head

2. @ 2:48 - no, you aren't imagining things...that's wonder woman (lynda carter) being one of the first on her feet to rock out

3. @ 3:00 - loved it when brian wilson signals the guitar riff, you can tell he was into it! (i had read that of all the beach boys' songs, "california girls" was his favorite)
