No Age Bring "Eraser," Free Health Care To Craig Ferguson

thumbnail icon: No Age Bring "Eraser," Free Health Care To Craig Ferguson

As reported, Randy Randall wrote us up a couple days ago and explained how he was asked to remove his Obama t-shirt before No Age's performance on Late Late Night With Craig Ferguson. At that time, Randy mentioned it was supposed to air on 10/27, eight days before the election. Well, last night I stumbled home, turned on the TV, and saw Dean and Randy staring back at me, rocking through the late-night version of "Eraser." It's unclear why it ran early, but the guys clearly aren't in a good mood. You'll spot Randy's "Free Health Care" shirt, how they book it out of there the second the song's done. What we didn't expect: Ferguson discusses the "young punk band" and the t-shirt incident, mentioning folks blogging about it, saying he agrees with Randy for being "furious."

Desmond was right: They are always running somewhere!

my first reaction when i read about this whole thing the other day was something like "oh no--now people will have to wonder if no age is supports obama like 99% of indie rock bands!!! what will the election look like without such heady, t-shirt-born political insight from a rock band playing music on a light night talk show?! will obama recover from this setback?!?"

but i have to say, they look pretty damn cool storming off the stage at the end there. so i suppose it's all good.

Relax cheeky monkeys! The BEST thing about the Late Late Show is that Craig keeps politics OUT of it.

NBC didn't stop NOFX in 2004. Maybe its the difference between a band that's two years old and a band that's 20 years old.

I am sure Randall wouldn't have been "censored" if No Age performed on NBC instead.
