I was also a big Woody Allen fan. When I got into college I listened to Lenny Bruce but it's taken me years to put him into context historically and really get what he did.
In some ways Lester Young is the most complex rhythmically of any musician. He does some things which are just phenomenal.
Letterman... he got his problems. We don't get along too well.

It's just nerve-wracking in general to write 'Superman,' right? I'm a life-long superhero fan, and he is the character that kicked off the entire genre.

Would I take Conor McGregor? No, he's a lot shorter than me. I don't think we'd be allowed fight - a heavyweight and a lightweight.
The only reason skaters hang around this guy is because he's Lil Wayne, but they don't like him. I've talked to skaters; nobody likes Wayne as a skateboarder.
If Lincoln were alive today, he'd be turning over in his grave.
