Colbert's address may not appear, in the future, in the big history books, but it will be remembered and cited in volumes of the social and artistic history of our troubled time.

A blast from the past: a background singer from a group in the early 70s, when given the opportunity to perform in front of Richard Nixon, ripped open her shirt to reveal a tshirt that said "STOP THE WAR!" William Manchester, the famous writer who produced important books on the Kennedy administration and assassination, immortalized this moment in his social history of America.

We'll always remember Colbert's courageous stance.... It's been a breath of oxygen in an increasingly asphyxic America.
