Rockford's favorite son brought midwestern grit to The Late Show with David Letterman last night. Rick Nielsen joined the Foo Fighters for a smoking version of "Stiff Competition" from Cheap Trick's third album Heaven Tonight (1978). It was also the B-side of the "California Man" single...

It's been a busy week on The Late Show with David Letterman this week.

David Letterman finds out that the CBS Orchestra is not allowed to play any Eagles songs.

The rules are simple (in fact, they're pretty much contained within the game's actual name) when it comes to Billy Eichner's 'Celebrity Child or Kentucky Derby Winner?' The 'Billy on the Street' host will name a particular name, and then you need to guess if it belongs to the child of a celebrity or a race-winning pony. Along the way, the loud-mouthed host will use his trademark screaming ability to drive things right along, and if you can get through the tricky trivia and the ear-splitting growl, you can win a dollar for each correct answer.

Whoever is in charge of scheduling over at Disney (we imagine it's many people, but just go with it) is going to be in a lot of trouble when they realize that they've put their next 'Star Wars' movie up against 'The Nest,' an adult comedy starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. How do you even compete with that? You don't. Just pack it up now, J.J. Abrams. You're going to lose this box office battle.

Today on the Brizz Record Bin I was in the mood for the late, great Warren Zevon. When I did college radio in the '80s, two of my favorite albums to go to were Sentimental Hygiene and Excitable Boy.

The indie-rock duo Broken Bells covered the Beatles' 'And I Love Her' on 'Late Show With David Letterman' last night and threw in a sample of ''I Am the Walrus' for good measure. You can watch a video of their performance above.
