Here we are at the website again.

It's cool hangin' out with you here all winter.

But it won't be long until we're actually at "The Hill" in Central Park again for another season.

I hafta tell you, for a whole bunch of reasons (Some are more just feelings than reasons) ... I'm really psyched and completely jazzed about sharing music with all of you here in New York City. I'll get into that later this week. Damn! This is gonna be year #18!

But... for TODAY!

Well, one week ago a movie hit the theaters in America and went directly to #2 at the box office. I was happy for everyone involved. But, it's a little known fact that I was originally cast to star in that film with my one-time friend and new nemesis, Stephen Colbert.

When Stephen didn't show up for my concert at Merkin Hall and it became obvious that he was never gonna come out of the closet about being a fan of mine, the producers decided that it would be best if we weren't in the movie together. So, they re-cast it... with Paul Rudd... and.... another guy.

This was the original concept poster for the film.

Woulda been fun to be in my first feature film.

Oh well.

At least I made it onto the NASA Space Channel when I temporarily flipped out over Colbert winning their damned contest.

He came in first by a bunch. He received more than 230,000 votes to beat out second-place name "Serenity" by more than 40,000 votes.

My suggestion to name the module never even showed up in the counting. I suggested they name it...

.... ah, nevermind.

Oh, okay. I suggested...

If you're new around here, you can hit the "Archive" and catch up.

In fact, here's a little gallery of some of the past images from the "Feud with Stephen Colbert". (I'm still workin' on the song!!!)

Okay, outta here.

See you TOMORROW!

Thanks for everything
