You know, as many leather codpieces as I've seen in my life ( and hangin' -- no pun intended here.. with the gay male leatherboys I've seen quite a few) I can never get over one thought -- who invented these stupid things? The ones with the 2" spikes sticking out are especially uh....useless. I mean, if you're wearing a codpiece, why would you want to keep the other guys away from your...uh,... equipment ..underneath? I know it's supposed to be like a jockstrap or something but really. Is there a need? ( grin)

At least the leatherboys have the sense to stay fit, and some of the grey haired Leatherdaddys are hard muscled and sexy as hell. But paunchy old singers wearing 'em ?.......LOL

The Cameo dudes are actually in fairly good shape. It's Wang Chung who's paunchy and jowly.

I always thought Wang Chung looked too old for what they were doing the first time around. Maybe they should have borrowed the leather codpieces....

I remember that! Watching it with rainking1 was fun enough, but had you also been there, I might have passed out sometime.

I saw two other episodes. The first was won Arrested Development (very deservedly--they did a kick-ass, thoughtful cover of Los Lonely Boys' "Heaven"), and also had Loverboy, A Flock of Seagulls, CeCe Peniston and Tiffany.

The second had The Knack, Haddaway (the "What Is Love?" guy), The Man Who Ruined My Junior-High Life (aka Tommy TuTone), The Motels and Vanilla Ice. Everyone sucked, and Ice won by default because at least he seemed aware of his place in life (his cover was Destiny's Child's "Survivor").

You would have passed out from all the screaming in horror.

I did actually see the tail end of the Arrested Development peformance while waiting to be picked up from something or other, and I must say they tore that up. I wonder if they'll be more appreciated in a world that now loves Black Eyed Peas...

Tiffany? Ew. Bad enough the first time.

Is the guy from Flock of Seagulls still that scary looking?

Whazza Cece Peniston?

I miss Loverboy.

The Motels sucked? It's much better that I didn't see that. "Only the Lonely" is one of my karaoke standbys...

Vanilla Ice apparently sucks far less in his current incarnation. A former coworker's son's band opened for him when he was in town...I remember telling her, "Oh, I'm sorry" when she told me the news...

Does he still wear sweatbands?
Nowhere near the fashion statement of codpieces, but...
