When bands attack!

What does iconic “Tonight Show” bandleader Kevin Eubanks think of the Roots’ controversial entrance song for Michele Bachmann on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon”?

Eubanks, now on the road touring with his band, tells The Post he found Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson’s choice “very funny.” As she walked on the show, he and the Roots played “Lyin’ Ass B - - - h” by Fishbone — for which NBC has since “severely reprimanded” the frontman. On second thought, Eubanks says, it was “perhaps a bit too in your face.”

I’m an amateur musician, and I loved rock and roll back in sixties, but reading articles about the big rock heroes from that time gave me the impression few of them read much of anything except maybe their names on their pay stubs. That goes for entertainers in general as the astounding ignorance propounded by various Hollyweird celebs proves. I’d be more than amazed if any members of all the talk show bands have ever heard of F. Hayek. Probably mentioning Milton Friedman or Tom Sowell would draw a blank from those clowns.
