Pointer Sisters Rock! - If you saw DirecTV's new game show "Rock and a Hard Place" hosted by Meatloaf, then you know that the Pointer Sisters won by answering the most questions correctly and by doing a superb job playing kazoos! The money they won went to the new Cancer Center at Milford Regional Hospital in Milford, Massachusetts and to The Elizabeth Taylor HIV/AIDS Foundation. Below is a brief clip from the show:
