Also wanted to mention an EW double take I had this weekend. These happen occasionally when Entertainment Weekly casually references something the mainstream press usually ignores. Recent examples include a Phil Vischer interview, or when Evenescence asked me why the **** I was playing their music. This weekend I was flipping the pages and found Ricky Gervais' "Must List". This is where the celebrity they are interviewing gives their recommendations for stuff to watch or listen to. Ricky Gervais (creator and star of the original "The Office" in the UK) is apparently a Mat Kearney fan. I wonder if Mat even knew this was coming. I wonder if he subscribes to EW and had his own little double take when he saw his little picture and blurb as one of three things that Ricky Gervais loves. "Hey that picture in EW looks like me, wait a second, THAT IS ME!" I also wonder how he felt about Gervais' description of his art as "spoken word that sounds like French hip-hop". Hmmm, French hip-hop, oooooook. Whatever the case, Mr. Kearney best be getting used to the press, talent like that just won't stay buried.
