Musical Hell, Or Doobie, My Ass

What the hell is Michael McDonald (yes, the former Doobie Brother and King of Milquetoast Motown Covers) doing on "Austin City Limits" tonight/this morning? WHY IS HE HERE?
Someone, somewhere, had to think this was a good idea; give me his or her name, because I have to talk to someone about this gallstone of a musical decision. And yes, damn it, he is singing "I Keep Forgetting We're Not in Love Any More" as I finish this.
