Seagal shows his musical chops

What a swell party it was at the Sunset Strip’s House of Blues the other night, when Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora joined blues artist Hook Herrera for a gig under the just-invented band name Blues, Incorporated. Slash of Guns N’ Roses was there, too. He and Sambora performed several tunes with —get ready, hold your breath — Steven Seagal. Yes, that's Seagal as in the ponytailed action-movie star, who had the intestinal fortitude to play numbers including “Crossroads" and "Shake Your Moneymaker."

Richie considers Seagal "good — absolutely. He held his own." Others on site were less enthused. In the words of another expert: "Diplomatic silence.”
