Stephen Colbert on the parallel between Elvis Costello’s relationship with Bruce Springsteen and Colbert’s relationship with Jon Steward:
[Elvis Costello] was trying when he was younger to try to write Bruce Springsteen songs — and that he really liked Bruce Springsteen’s sound. And he said but then he eventually stopped doing that because he would try write these songs like Bruce Springsteen and he would end up writing things that were a little bit wry, sardonic, or even character-based. And they didn’t have that sort of sincere, anthemic quality that Bruce’s songs sometimes has. And that kind of blew me away because he’s describing his relation to Bruce Springsteen kind of like my relationship to Jon Stewart. And Jon’s favorite artist is Bruce Springsteen and my favorite rock artist is probably Elvis Costello. So there’s an odd parallel between Elvis’ evolution from what he was trying to do like Bruce and my evolution from what I was trying to do when I worked with Jon.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcerl984821qd9dz2o1_r1_500.jpg)

“I need to get the kind of street cred the established concerts have. Kids won’t show up unless it’s gritty, unless it’s real, unless it has authenticity — and there’s only one way to get that: corporate sponsorship!!! …I mean, just look at the sick lineup they got at Bonnaroo this year: State Farm, Ford, Miller Light, Wheat Thins — that’s right, they got the ‘Thins! …It’s all about driving your well-insured minivan to have a diet lager to have a tasty snack that’s also a good source of fiber. Rock-n-roll!”

"Don’t be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying yes begins things. Saying yes is how things grow. Saying yes leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say yes."

This photo reminds me of our section of the Mall during the Rally to Restore Sanity, although if the people climbing trees had been bears, we would have definitely heard about it from Mr. Colbert.
