This week, I had the great honor of spending a few days working as a producer and writer on The USO Presents "VH1 Divas Salute The Troops" that airs tonight on VH1 at 9PM and internationally on the Armed Forces Network. The show itself is a real blast in a decidedly non-military sense that hosted hilariously by Kathy Griffin, and featuring winning musical performances by Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Sugarland, Keri Hilson, Paramore, Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, as well as appearances by literally everyone from our First Lady Michelle Obama to "Snooki" and "The Situation" from "Jersey Shore," including comedian Jeffrey Ross, MC Lyte and Brandy, who I think we all can agree is technically a better dancer than Bristol Palin.
Speaking of agreement, there is so little in America right now, but this playlist is dedicated to the thought that we should all agree to be respectful and thankful to our service people. Spending a few days at the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar was an education for me, and a pretty inspiring one. I grew up the son of a father of former Naval Officer, and frequently during my childhood, my Dad would joke that he was going to send me off to military school, but that he didn't want to have to drive right back to whatever academy would have me when they threw me right out for insubordination.
