Fallacy of Fallon

     Last night, Jimmy Fallon did his segment on albums not to play or whatever. He plays bit of actual records, vintage, foreign, that are terrible, to put it mildly. The Roots band, judges of authentic entertainment recordings, obligingly smirks and snarks along with Jimmy at how bad the so-called music is. The audience, both studio and presumably those at home, heartily agree.

  But, for sheer hypocrisy, cut to the end of the show and the closing musical number:   A sexually-clad woman at one end of the stage and her co-performer across the stage dressed in heavy darkness. She sings something like "I can only see raindrops" over and over while he dominates with off-color rap lyrics. Personally, I would prefer any of the half-dozen "do not buy albums."
