Reader Request - Can celebrities bring the rock?
February 7th, 2008 - by Dave
Everyone has had dreams of becoming a big time movie actor at some point. And apparently all movie actors secretly dream of being in a band.
But all the acting ability, cash money, and fame in the world doesn’t guarantee a quality live rock experience. Unfortunately, that hasn’t stopped some actors from taking to the road.
Russel Crowe did it. Kevin Bacon did it. Keanu Reeves did it.
And now Jeff Daniels is doing it. That’s right, the same Jeff Daniels that portrayed explosive shits with class and finesse in Dumb and Dumber. Seriously though, why isn’t his band called Explosive Shits? I would totally buy tickets to see JD presents Explosive Shits. Wouldn’t you?
So, really… are there any actor/rocker tours worth checking out? Let us know what you think about celebrities-turned-musicians in the comments.

I would see Russel Crowe’s band simply to mock it.
I hear Adrian Grier or whatever his name is (Vincent Chase from “Entourage”) is in a fairly decent band.
