Happy Birthday. Sadly, you might get in trouble singing "Happy Birthday" in a public place. Have you been paying royalties when you sing it? I didn't think so. Now I understand why some of those restaurants I go to have their own versions or chants when celebrating customers' birthdays. Happily, Stephen sang a "Happy Birthday" song for us that we can all use whenever and wherever we want.
Stephen's guest way back on Thursday was Theaster Gates. Yet another guest who does it all. Stephen introduced him to us. He is an artist and holds a Masters Degree in Fine Arts, Religious Studies, Ceramics and Urban Planning, and currently he is Director of the Arts and Public Life Initiative at the University of Chicago, and the Founder of the nonprofit Rebuild Foundation. Amazingly, after reading all this off his cheat sheet, Stephen still had time to look at some examples of Theaster Gates' work and spend some time talking with him. You can see some of his work here at Kavi Gupta Gallery. I can't even begin to imagine how he can do all this and still have time to give Stephen the Theaster Gates Bump, oops I mean still have time to come on the show and get the Colbert Bump.
