…that Randy Jackson from American Idol is actually an extremely accomplished musician. He’s the bass player on my favorite Springsteen track, and was in Journey? You’re not going to believe the tracks this guy’s played on. The things you learn on Jay Leno…I’m both absurdly proud and ashamed that I didn’t know this…

My question? Okay, he’s obviously got some serious cred as a musician and producer, what the hell is he doing on American Idol? Is he getting paid obscene amounts of money?
