Radiohead

Well, a real treat tonight. I sure hope you got to watch. If not, go see it over at Colbert Nation.

I won't even begin to try to tell you all about it. For one thing, I don't like reading what other people think of art or music. I like to enjoy it and don't want someone else's opinion clouding my enjoyment. You either watched and enjoyed or you didn't. I do think Stephen was left almost speechless by their performance, which is quite an accomplishment. Stephen is not often speechless.

In between performances by the band, Stephen did a little bit of interviewing, asking such thought provoking questions as, "Why British?" and "Why against corporations?" and "Why do you care so much?" (The answer to that last question is that they have children and want them to have a better planet to live on.)

So, go over to Colbert Nation and see Radiohead. You can also find out who is winning, Bono or Radiohead, at least according to Thom Yorke.

Radiohead in 24 hours

Only about 24 hours until Radiohead is on the first and possibly only hour-long The Colbert Report. Radiohead was just on Saturday Night live last night, so some of you should have seen them there if you were home and watching SNL.

I would tell you what I think the show will be like, but really, I have no clue. Other than I think it will be worth staying up late for. Tune in late tomorrow for highlights.

Fossil Fool

Well, yes, Stephen did announce that the Radioheads, actually Radiohead, will be on an hour-long The Colbert Report on September 26. Already my head is spinning just thinking about it. That's right, as if the StePhest Colbchella Thirst-icane wasn't great enough, Radiohead will be in the studio talking and singing on Monday. So don't be late.

Stephen explained the financial situation in Greece and all of Europe. But to make it clear and explain it better, he had Chrystia Freeland, Global Editor-at-Large for Reuters, on the show to provide, dare I say it, even better answers than what Stephen could provide for this shaky financial situation. She does a good job of informing Stephen, and thus all of us, about Euros which I have come to find out are different that gyros.

Stephen seemed to be on a roll tonight with experts in one field or another. His interview guest was Daniel Yergin who brought his book, "The Quest - Energy, Security and the Remaking of the Modern World." Although Stephen is well versed in so many areas, it was good for him to listen to someone else talk about the subject of energy. Stephen thinks we could eventually run out of wind and he also thinks we need to drill for sun in order to make use of solar energy. I think he might be just a little bit wrong about both of those beliefs. Luckily, Stephen is open-minded.
