To quote noted psychiatric expert Lucille "Lucy" van Pelt in A Charlie Brown Christmas, "We've even got a Christmas Queen!" Darlene Love, performing her platinum-certified classic "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" backed by Max Weinberg's Jukebox, was a surprise addition to the bill of Monday night's annual "Night of Too Many Stars" benefit for NEXT for AUTISM at New York's Beacon Theatre. Mighty Max also served as Music Director for the evening. Another highlight from that night: Max and his Jukebox band backing Adam (Hanukkah King?) Sandler and Rob Schneider on their version of the Elvis Presley classic "It's Now Or Never."
