Dave Matthews is a talented musician

No, of course he isn't, but he's going to play one on TV: indeed, on House, in fact. His part features a talented pianist who has some sort of medical problem, solving which would wipe out his skills.

It could be based on the old music hall joke:
- Doctor, will I be able to play the piano after my operation?
- Yes, sir, you will be able to play pefectly well
- It's a miracle... I never could before

So, we'll have Hugh Laurie pretending to be an American with medical skills and constant physical pain, and Dave Matthews pretending to be a musician. We wonder who'll stretch credulity the furthest.

The NME seems to have House confused with something else - Medium, perhaps? There's no ghost in the house, you know.
