Must See TV

Boy, the suits at NBC had to stay up all night to think of this brilliant idea:

LINCOLN, Neb. - Multi-tattooed rocker Tommy Lee (news), a high school dropout, plunged into life as a University of Nebraska student Thursday — for reality TV.

Lee mingled with fellow Cornhuskers for an NBC show in which he'll take classes in chemistry, literature and the history of rock 'n' roll.

Flanked by production crews and cameras, Lee bought books and Nebraska apparel at the University Bookstore while a mass of onlookers strained for a glimpse. "It's like a big circus," student Paul Penke said.

On Monday, the Motley Crue drummer will even try out for the Nebraska marching band.

I've already gotten rid of the cable; the whole damn television is next.
