Just saw Rock n Roll Jeopardy, celebrity charity version on VH1 where former Posion guitarist CC Deville took on Andy Summers of the Police and . . I forgot the third guy.

CC won, and was very funny, but boy was he bizarre. He had this high pitched, voice. He was very “jerky” asd kept rocking back and forth and shaking. He was very loud and kept hesitating whenever he spoke.

Is he sick? On drugs? There was something definitely wrong here.

His voice is always like that. That’s why he never sang backup or anything. Think Peter Criss after gargling broken glass for a couple hours.

Aside from that, he showed himself to be extremely knowledgeable about music, and was odd.

I saw this too, and he looked like he was hurting for a fix.  
Really, really bad looking.

Mark McGrath, the lead singer from Sugar Ray, was also very good on Rock & Roll Jeopardy, and he looked very well put-together.

(no jones in sight)

Yeah, I saw him. What a bizarre guy! I don’t know about the drugs or what-not, but I think he was _extremely_ nervous, too. I hate all celebrity Jeopardys anyway, “Rock and Roll” or regular. They’re such morons about how to play the game, and they leave half the questions on the board.
