It is the third night of The Hanukkah Sessions, and tonight Dave Grohl went to the Copacabana! As in the place that a certain singer made famous. Or as the Foo Fighters’ singer put it, “Barry Pincus – not only one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th (or any) century, but a mega-mensch to boot!
“So, like a good neighbor, you deserve a break today. So grab a bucket of chicken and let’s get stuck on…BARRY MANILOW’S “Copacabana”!”
I have always wondered what it would be like to go to a Bar Mitzvah in Minnesota. Now, we know. And I want to be invited to one where Grohl and Grey Kurstin are the Mitzvah Men. Maybe that is what they can call their cover band of Jewish artists’ songs. Hopefully, they will do Helen Reddy’s I Am Woman before the holiday ends! Oy!
