   Colbert and John Legend dueted on the national anthem on Monday, so I’m guessing they’ll be doing this every night for the week the show is in Pennsylvania. I liked what The Roots did when I saw them last year with the cover of “Masters of War” where one verse was sung in the “Star Spangled Banner” melody.

   Here we are, this is what I was talking about in that “birthday girl” post.

   On second viewing, it was less inspired than maybe I wanted it to be. Coulda been an excellent opportunity for a protest piece.

   Roots also do a badass Machine Gun jam.
