I still have the book, I just think the questions are bad and I don't feel like copying them.

Obama has been banished from existence. Surely the rock trivia questions have to be good now.

Speaking of rock trivia, I just finished listening to the audiobook of the Daily Show oral history and here's an old-fashioned Matedog Special. What Bruce Stinkspleen song did Jon Stewart have played when he came on stage at the start of every show?

That was a Bruce song?

No, the Daily Show theme is by They Might Be Giants. I mean that when Stewart would come onto the set and sit down before they started the show, he always had one Broooooooooooooooooooooooooose song play him in (we don't hear it at home).tepista wrote: ↑26 Jan 2017, 4:38pmThat was a Bruce song?

He did Land of Hopes and Dreams and BTR on the last Stewart ep. I'll go with BTR.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑25 Jan 2017, 8:22pmSpeaking of rock trivia, I just finished listening to the audiobook of the Daily Show oral history and here's an old-fashioned Matedog Special.

Is that the book with Wyatt Cenac talking about his shitty time there?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

He didn't like it? He fell of the fucking planet when he left. Saw 5 minutes of his dreadful standup special once.

Yup, that's covered (tho the story first came out when WC did a podcast). Pretty nasty all around, but WC comes off overly sensitive in it all. I don't think anyone who was there supported his interpretation of it all—that JS did a minstrel imitation of Herman Cain on air— including black staff and performers. But at the same time, JS got defensive very quickly and allowed it to become a shouting match.Is that the book with Wyatt Cenac talking about his shitty time there?
