If the photo to the left didn't make it clear, My Morning Jacket will appear on FOX's American Dad, Seth MacFarlane's unfunny version of Family Guy. This has the potential to supplant the Goth kids channelling Ian McKellen's defiance of the Balrog to the strains of Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" as the show's defining moment. On the November 22 episode, Stan (the American Dad) becomes an MMJ groupie. It may borrow from The Simpsons finest plot device - Homer becoming obsessed with anything - but it has Jim James, so you have to give it the benefit of the doubt.

DEBUNKING THE AEROSMITH BREAKUP RUMORS, there are now stories that they will move on without Steven Tyler. Just as the decade ends, we have a new entry into dumbest idea of the decade. Maybe if we all send the other four guys in the band a nickel each, they'll forego the blatant money grab and not muddy up the Aerosmith name any more than they did with that Armageddon theme.

SESAME STREET TURNS 40 and Rolling Stone put together 40 of the best clips that involve rock stars instructing youth instead of corrupting it. Some of the clips are pretty surreal: little kids thrashing about to Stevie Wonder playing "Superstition"; Michael Stipe singing "Furry Happy Monsters" with Kate Pierson and other Muppets; B.B. King howling the blues over the Letter B; Little Richard using "Rubber Duckie" to teach kids about Tubby Time and Winger can rejoice, Tito Puente gets props and Sesame Street has been listening to him the whole time.
