Coincidence? Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot, longtime rock critics and hosts of the "Sound Opinions" radio show, were invited onto last night's Late Night With Conan O'Brien to discuss the Grammys in lieu of a peppy young celeb, because when you want references to Kraftwerk and Robert Bly you still turn to music geeks. (But maybe I'm wrong and Hayden Panettiere and Zac Efron are big Radio-Activity fans? If so, sorry kids.) If you make it to the end, you can wonder why Conan's Jim Morrison impression wasn't just fleshed out into an entire sketch with Kot on organ and DeRo on drums. Or why he didn't at least subject them to an "If They Mated" segment. (Do they even still do that? I'm too old to make it past the 10 o'clock news.)

I really liked them better when they were just two astute hipsters in my head instead of an ugly Laurel & Hardy.
Is it Illinois law that whenever two critics pair up, one has to be fat and one has to be skinny, but both with their own made up self importance? Can I get a legal opinion on this? Has anyone asked Obama this? Its his state.
I once saw Jim argue with David Ritz on a panel about artist biographies - it was over which is better, authorized or unathorized. I was really hoping it would get physical because I think Jim could have won. It was awesome. David Ritz has the best tattoos ever, though.
That Bono phonecall story made me physically ill.
@Rabi: As a former Chicagoan, I can safely say yes. What else do you expect from a state raised on kielbasa and beer?
Very cool clip. Thanks for sharing.
For all those who thought only film critics are so hideous looking that they stay in darkened rooms most of the time for a reason.
