a/k/a ginger 🍵...🎶🌻Wow! This is a must. Ed Norton was a guest on the Stephen Colbert show, and delivered a "reading" of an excerpt from a Walt Whitman poem. Norton had been talking with Colbert about the anxiety of our current time and his anxiety. He and Stephen are both big Whitman fans, and they noted how Whitman, more than any other American poet, speaks directly to future generations to remind them that his time too had anxiety.
IDK what I was expecting, but this was great. You can jump to the 16:48 minute mark for a minute or 2 of setup and then the performance.
