A Motown Spin On Nickelback

WHY?

I am not a violent man. I have only been in two hockey fights in my life but I clenched my fists and wanted to break something when I started to watch this.

A Motown version of a Nickelback hit. Again I ask,

Why?

Well, apparently there is a new US poll that reveals the oft maligned Nickelback is now leading in popularity over the US Senate,  Jazz pianist Scott Bradlee who has found a new career funkifying the Canadian band's hits (again, WHY?) held a party in a hip NYC nightclub last week to launch his new album, A Motown Tribute To Nickelback. Jazz versions of anything are annoying, but NICKELBACK.

Actually, its NOT the Nickelback part of this that makes me angry...it's the Motown part, How LAME is this band. I am not a violent man - but don't you just want to punch the two guys with the tambourine and sax! The Funk Brothers, the original Motown backing band, would be insulted by this white-washing....  and what's with the teleprompted singer.

I guess this whole thing was supposed to be "fun" but why would you waste your time....and mine.

Worth a peek...
