Genius. Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert had a bet. Stephen lost, and therefore had to sing Rebecca Black's now-famous "Friday" on Jimmy's show. And then the world became a better place.
Stephen and I go way back. Meaning, I jumped on the bandwagon about the same time everyone else did. Also, I went to his rally when I was in DC. And I can't believe I never told you about it.
Not to be outdone by Jon Stewart's Rally to Restore Sanity, Stephen latched on with his Rally to Restore Fear. The result? The Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. Politically, I think I was a little outnumbered that day. But it sure was fun. And needless to say, Mr. Colbert is a hoot and a half.
Making an entrance--Chilean miner style.
Jon brought Cat Stevens (or whatever his name is now) to sing "Peace Train."
Stephen brought Ozzy to sing "Crazy Train."
Fighting ensued.
But then the O'Jays came out to sing "Love Train," and all was well.
While the rally itself was hysterical (and worth standing in a two-by-two foot space for six hours), I'd have to say my favorite part was the signage:
Just trying to make a statement, I guess.
So controversial!
My third favorite part was getting to meet some *other* Chilean miners...
Thanks for letting me reminisce. And sorry for getting you stuck on "Friday."
Hope you're having a great weekend, and in the words of Rebecca Black and Stephen Colbert, "partyin', partyin'... YEAH!"
