Re: the spoilers for next week--I think so! At least, that's what it looked like to me. Also, wasn't "Tush" in the unaired Pilot and then not the aired one? I hope that doesn't bode poorly for future uses of ZZ Top so that your musical wishes might come true.

The have used less music (and I think they have a special arrangement with AC/DC after the band came to the set while they were recording their album in Vancouver) this season because of budget, but I'm hoping the budget strains are being loosened a bit since the dollar is stronger and the show's ratings are better. Of course, the economy is worse, so who can say?

I loved this episode. It was awesome.
