I have posted less frequently than usual this week. For this the world owes a debt of gratitude to The Office. I’ve spent a good chunk of my free time watching Season 3.
I noticed that a fellow named Creed Bratton was billed as a guest star at the end of each show. I had no idea who he was, or which character he played, so I went to the Google and discovered that he’s the guy who plays the felonious psychopath who does no discernible work (but then, which of them does).
But I found out something else. He was the lead guitarist for a group that sold a slew or records in the 60’s, the Grass Roots. According to one blurb I read on line, only nine bands from that era sold more records than them. They weren’t great, they weren’t bad, but they were eminently forgettable.
Well, here they are, singing Let’s Live for Today. As an added bonus, they’re introduced by Jimmy Durante. If you’re a fan of The Office, you’ll recognize Creed the minute he appears, or at least the minute he smiles.
