Description[edit]
MUSIC AND MAYHEM!
A TALE OF TWO SPRINGFIELDS
- Infuriated by a new area code in Springfield, Homer goes on a mission to divide the town in two. As designated mayor of West Springfield, Homer wages war on the East. However, when "The Who" is scheduled to play East Springfield, Homer takes it upon himself to lead the band to his side of town.
HOMERPALOOZA
- Worried he is out of touch with the times, Homer purchases tickets to the Hullabalooza music festival. Although he attempts to blend in, he is rejected by the Gen X crowd. After a freak accident, however, Homer ends up touring with the bands.
HOMER'S BARBERSHOP QUARTET
- Homer recalls his glory days of the mid-1980s when he was the leader of a phenomenal, chart-topping singing group called "The Be Sharps." The band's meteoric success is short lived, however, and Homer is taught a valuable lesson about the importance of family life and the fickleness of a once-adoring public.
THE OTTO SHOW
- After attending a Spinal Tap concert, Bart has dreams of becoming a heavy metal rocker. As an encouragement, Homer and Marge buy a guitar for Bart. Otto demonstrates his ability on Bart's guitar causing the school bus to run late. Upon losing his job, Otto is forced to move in with the Simpsons.
