Update: unfortunately, Pat didn't sing on Comedy Central. A combination of timing and being unable to secure the proper legal rights to the song prohibited the band from being on. Well, it WOULD have been cool.

Thanks, Charlene! Just a clarification, though - the Whiffenpoofs did sing for this benefit last Saturday at the Beacon Theater in NYC. Their segment just couldn't be aired due to the station not being able to get the rights to the song with Tom Morello, after the fact. They had a great time taping the show, however! :)
