On Sirius radio

Coming back from the loft, on Sirius satellite radio, I heard Keb' Mo' improvise a blues version of "America, the Beautiful."

I thought it was absolutely fantastic, but Cole kept saying—ack—turn that down.

THANE: "You are so, so, so, wrong about the blues. This is just too cool—he's singing that song just the way it should be sung. I played that song from a 1951 church hymnal and wondered—what's the right way to jazz this thing up, make it interesting—and here it is, this guy Keb' Mo' is doing it perfectly!"

COLE: Turn it off!

He only seems to like classical music and disco—who can respect that?
