To me, the whole point of the show was the frustrating, ridiculous romance of Sam and Diane, so once that ran its course, I thought the show was over.

The piano solo is gonna make me well up. It always does.

Nate K:

Joe, I think the supporting cast of Cheers really came to the fore post Sam and Diana, and it became a true ensemble show. Then you have your Liliths, Eddie Lebecs, and Robin Colcords...so many great characters even beyond the core.

Aw, great tune, Joe. I wonder if anyone has ever done a vocalese version of "Jessica."

This is an edited version, I think. The album cut is over seven minutes long. The piano solo is a release after a big build in the album track.

I stood next to George Wendt at a Pere Ubu gig once. It was a rather surreal experience to keep glancing to my right and seeing Norm.

@Oscar and Hughie - yes indeed. I found out later that he is apparently quite the fan of out there music. Knowing that, I’ve always though he needed his own hardcore band, a la Tad.

I'm actually not positive I've ever seen a complete episode of Cheers, but it's so permeated into pop culture that I feel like I know all the characters and their general arcs. I wouldn't be averse to diving in, but it feels daunting. I'm already trying to make my way through Dark Shadows as it is.

@David, somehow Wendt's love for Pere Ubu and the like seems related to Sherman Helmsley's well established affection for prog.

In the strange thread of artists' other musical interests, DMC of Run DMC is a huge Sarah McLachlan fan and would annoy everyone in his entourage by always having her music playing before and on the way to shows.
