The pop/rock band The Last Goodnight has been getting a lot of attention lately for its new single, "Pictures of You." This represents a breakthrough for the Connecticut band, which has been recording and touring since the early part of the decade.
"Pictures of You" has cracked the VH1 Top Twenty Countdown (currently at #8) and has also been used for promos of the ABC show "Brothers & Sisters." It also set a world record by getting over 20,000 people to unintentionally click on a video by The Cure on YouTube.
Because of these great accomplishments, I'd like to take this opportunity -- as a Connecticut resident and unofficial spokesperson -- to welcome The Last Goodnight to the Connecticut Hall of Fame. The band, which hails from the town of Enfield, will be joining these other fine Hall of Fame entrants:
-Jim Calhoun/UConn sports
-50 Cent (along with his guns and Segway scooter)
-Mohegan Sun & Foxwoods Casinos
-Toad's Place in New Haven
-Hula Hank's bar
-Mystic Pizza
-The Windsor Locks Airport
-Danbury's Famous "Crack House District"
-The Waterbury Open, as referenced in Happy Gilmore
-Jesus H. Christ and the Four Hornsmen of the Apocalypse
-John Mayer (for his work in the field of dating Jessica Simpson)
-Derek & the Funbags, CT's most popular cover band
-The guy who ran for office using the campaign that he would let liquor stores stay open past 8PM (I forget his name)
-The crazy old lady who wanders around Norwalk looking for cans to return
-The one guy who lived in Bridgeport for two years and didn't get shot
-All rich people
-Anyone with Lyme Disease
Congratulations, The Last Goodnight, and welcome to this prestigious club.
