Well... yeah.

President Obama is over in England. (Okay, I haven't been to England. But... I've been to Jersey.)

Still in the spirit of global cooperation, I did my last gig in this ridiculous outfit.

(I'll bet COLBERT has never showed that kind of solidarity with our old friends.)

Ah, England. Brought us The Beatles and The Stones.

And, I remember in the first year of the illegal, immoral, historically ignorant and colossally stupid invasion of Iraq... (the same disgraceful action that the people of the UK were lied into) ...I gained an enormous amount of respect for at least one British soldier when I saw this photo.

Closer to home.

4 weekends away.

We'll be out in Central Park to begin another season soon. Gonna be a blast.

There are so many reasons I'm jazzed to be heading back out there with my guitar this season. For one thing, I really have a feeling people are gonna need to relax and get back to the simple things... hangin' out in our own little backyard in the middle of the crossroads of the world - New York City. I think we're all gonna need to hang and laugh. I think we're all gonna need each other's company.

And, it's the first year that the machine behind George W. Bush is not operating in the Oval Office behind that dangerous, intellectually challenged frat-boy. That's gonna feel different. that's gonna feel... Good.

Still, guys like me still have a lot to write about and sing about.

And... we'll see if Stephen Colbert finally has the balls to come out to "The Hill".
