I am unsure how his mocking of La Nicks makes him a misogynist. I mean just because he mocked La Nicks does not mean he hates women as a rule

But, I do think he is a jerk based on what I have seen and heard about him. I also do not find him that funny.

I'm just upset that Dave Grohl took part in the mockery. I used to like him, thought he was a great drummer and singer, now I find out he's a homophobic misogynist. My Foo Fighters albums are going in the trash!
It also upsets me greatly to hear that Ferrell didn't rave about Stevie when he followed her on Rosie. What a dick.

How do you ger homophobic out of that clip? All he said was WF was fukcing up his singing, likely with an unrehearsed move. Am I missing something? Did DG say he hated fags or something like that? Otherwise, I thought he played the staight man (

) to WF's BS pretty well.

As for the mockery, WF made the drug comments, not DG

Nooooo, Strandie, I'm referring to an earlier comment where someone was offended that two men singing a song to each other was considered funny.
I think Grohl is cool. I'm just amused at how offended some people are. It's funnier than the actual clip.

I know - I think people are WAY too uptight.

I was watching the episode of Designing Women where Suzanne appears in Black Face as a Supreme. It was hysterical.

The sexist asssumption he makes is that it was Don Henley who called Stevie to do the song. Of course the man did most of the work, right? Except that it was her song entirely.

That's definitely one of my top three DW episodes.

But that is Ferrell, not the guitarist - right?

And, Ferrell is not too far from the truth in that La Nicks has said that DH was pretty much responsible for the song in that he gave her guidance, told her to do rewrites, etc.

Also - though I am not a fan, WF is in his schtick in the whole thing - so the comment was meant as humor

I remember that one AND I remember laughing so hard.

Just thinking of it makes my face hurt...because I am smiling.

Is it on Youtube?

They do re-runs in the morning on ? TVland ?

I should start setting a timer.

Well, it made me laugh! I find Will Farrell annoying and unfunny, but Dave Grohl is hot. Grohl seems intent on doing justice to the song even though it's a comedy bit and I appreciate that. His seriousness served to heighten the absurdity of the situation and make the bit even funnier.

Yeah, I noticed that Farrell acted as if the song was Henley's idea and chose one of the most vulgar jokes for Stevie, but I wouldn't read anything into it. He's just uninformed and going for the easy laugh - Farrell's specialty is bathroom humor, after all. What do you expect?

Still, I did enjoy this bit, thanks to Grohl. Like somebody said, two straight men singing a love song to each other will always be funny!

Rosie appeared to have invested a lot of thought and positive energy into interviewing Stevie, and was very pleased to have had Stevie as a guest. When Ferrell came on after Stevie's segments, Rosie was still exhilerated by how well Stevie's segments went, and tried to get Ferrell to comment, and as David pointed out, Ferrell was a creep, and it was on more than one level- first, he would not extend any professional courtesy to Stevie, acting superior and smug (he just looked bemused and said 'crazy' in a most condescending way when Rosie prompted him to comment favorably about Stevie's performance on the show)- and he also was a creep to act sour to Rosie, who clearly felt she and her show had something to be pleased about by Stevie's apperance on it, and he just totally acted like a dick. Scant minutes earlier, Stevie had just been on the same stage, in the same chair he was now sitting in, and he couldn't find even one good word to say, which 'professional courtesy' would dictate he indeed find, even if it were insincere. A 'professional'-- even if he intensely disliked the other performer, would not clearly indicate his indifference, out of respect to the host (Rosie) and a performer (Stevie) who far outweighed his status in the entertainment industry- it was just really, really bad form.
Now, he's making fun of her songwriting and former drug problem, while classlessly digging up the cocaine 'rumour' that Stevie has said she finds hurtful and offensive. Saying he's a cad and a misogynist seems accurate to me, but in plainer terms, the guy just sucks.

I totally agree. I think he is un funny, stinks, I cannot stand his movies,
I also saw Rosie and he couldn't care less that Stevie was on.
I don't think that segment was funny. I think he is ugly. Cannot act.
Sorry just my thoughts. I never did like the man......
