I love it. One of my favorite lines is, "Everytime I tried to climb out of this wihsing well, I've only made it up just high enough to hurt when I fell." He is genius.

But saying he recently ventured into talking blues is, well, plain wrong. His first famous song--from 15 years ago--was called "Talkin' Seattle Blues." It's on his debut album, which opened with the Country Joe-style "My Generation (Part 2)." Todd's been thumbing that road since the first Bush administration, to be honest. He's always been funny and pointed, at least for me, and consistently entertaining and clever for a long time now.

Had Toby Keith written a song called I Heart Ossama and Barbara Streisand would would have hated that too.
