I'm just going to lay it all out on the line.
Conan's Podcast has been a revelation. From learning that there were more mind-melded late-nighters like myself who appreciated not knowing if the content from the original Late Night show had actually happened when discussing it the next day, to following our guy through his incarnations to landing back with Andy and perhaps exploding out of our own stratosphere only to land with Gorly and Sona, who are clearly super-human beings.
But there is a topic that is never brought up. One that has the potential to shake the foundations of ConaCo to its dark dark heart. And that is the unspoken truth that Conan has always been a MUSIC guy. A music guy from our generation, to boot. That means grunge. And chaos. It even means Max and his superlative band that swung us into the mood every night.
Well, today our secret offerings to all of the Norse gods were answered as Conan hosted not only a musical guest, but the most inspired guest that we could have hoped for. Shakey graced our ear-holes today and gave Conan a chance to geek out and play fan boy... but also to flex a different side of his brain. And it feels so so good. Where the Gladwell podcast has struggled to find relevance and character in the depth of musical discussion, Conan hit it out of the park on day one.
Keep it up, little buddy. For all of us. We love you. In whatever way that means to you.
