This week, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band appeared on The Late Show With David Letterman to promote the new album Ride Out. Before performing, Seger sat down to talk about his career, including the origin of the name “the Silver Bullet Band” (hint: his manager made it up).
After the talk, it was time to get down to some music. Seger and the band then performed “All the Roads” from the new album. In a previous post, we had noted that Seger had explained that “All the Roads” is about his career. Check it out.

Of course, fans will still get to see Stephen Colbert when he takes over for David Letterman. But there will be no more “Colbert” the character, at least not on a regular basis.
Regarding Colbert’s new gig, David Letterman has yet to announce his final day on Late Show With David Letterman. So, we will have to wait for the announcement of when we will get to see Colbert nightly again.

Sean Lennon recently joined The Flaming Lips on The Late Show with David Letterman to sing the Beatles classic, “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.” The visuals are almost as good as the music, with Lennon sporting a beard like his late father as well as the hat that John Lennon wore on the cover of Hey Jude.
The performance was part of Beatles week on Letterman’s show, a week that led up to the network’s celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Fab Four’s appearance on The Ed Sullivan’s Show. Check it out.
Sean Lennon’s father is not his only family member connected to “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” which first appeared on the album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967). The title came from his half-brother Julian, who came home from school one day with a drawing, telling his father that the picture was of “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.” Many still question whether the initials of the song indicate that instead the song is about L.S.D. Either way, it is a great Beatles song.
What do you think “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” is about? Leave your two cents in the comments.
