13. Here's the other song he played..... Red

I didn't understand all the lyrics, but it's political too.
(I'll have to find them online...)

6. Now THAT...

Production should get the Colbert Bump!

I hope he wins a few of those Grammys too!

And I'm callin' it, this is the song of the year.

7. Love Jesse's music. This clip was on Instagram first thing this morning. He also played "Red" on

Colbert, which is my favorite. Link pops up in squares at end of the song you posted.

8. Some people compare him to Bob Dylan, but his lyrics remind me of Woody Guthrie (nt)

9. Love OUR flag being flown.

10. Glad to see he's getting some exposure

Colbert will likely get more flack from his corporate overlords for this. Oh, well.

11. His music is a cross between early Dylan and Woodie Guthrie.

Good stuff.
