   Joseph Nebus to All   
   21 September 2007 - Steven Wright, Ben H

   Steven Wright:   
   	- He's happy the summer is over, so he can look forward to the   
   long, cold winter.  He loves the Massachusetts foliage; he photographs   
   it in black-and-white.   
   	   
   	- He's writing a soundtrack to his autopsy.  Bluegrass.  He   
   demonstrates how it would work.   
   	   
   	- He's a Red Sox fan.  Conan will clear the area and fill it   
   with foam.  It's getting to him: Tuesday morning he's having a lobotomy   
   and having baseball removed from his head.  After that, if people ask   
   about baseball, he'll say he loves cheese sandwiches.  He'll remove the   
   baseball parts of his brain and make an earring out of it.   
   	   
   	- He's got his first comedy album in 22 years.  The first was I   
   Have A Pony; the second was I Still Have A Pony.   
   	   
   	- 900 questions come to mind.  Why wait 22 years?  He didn't   
   want to be over-exposed.  He figured as a kid he'd like to make one   
   album each century.   
   	   
   	- His first album was many quick one-liners.  This one, is one   
   forty-minute joke.  35 minute setup, five minute punch line.  Very   
   dangerous as if the attention drifts during the setup, they won't   
   understand the end.  The joke is about the stencil business.  Have you   
   heard it?   
   	   
   	- Guy's insane and not insane at the same time: he's   
   pathologically ambidextrous.   
   	   
   	- There's no ponies mentioned on the album and no pictures of   
   ponies in the cover art.   
      
      
   Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals:   
   	- Lifeline: In The Colors.
