Paul F. Tompkins, Tom Scharpling take Ted Leo to Broadway

 August 23, 2010      Rob      Music, News, Paul F. Tompkins, Video    

New Jersey prodigal punk rock son Ted Leo recently teamed up with a fellow Garden State resident, well-known comedian/writer/television producer Tom Scharpling of WFMU’s Best Show Ever, to bring to life Leo’s take on American Idiot with the video for the song “Bottled in Cork.”

The video features Ted and the rest of The Pharmacists in a mock Broadway production of their newest release, The Brutalist Bricks (Matador Records) with guest appearances from comedians Paul F. Tompkins (Mr. Show), Julie Klausner (who’s having her book I Don’t Care About Your Band turned into a TV show), and John Hodgman (The Daily Show).

He died because he didn’t believe in the power of punk rock.
