The Leonard Lopate Show
The Can-Do Town
Thursday, October 23, 2003
Comedy writers Stephen Colbert, Paul Dinello, and Amy
Sedaris talk about the fight to save Wigfield, the “can-do
town that just may not” (it’s built in front of a huge dam
about to be destroyed). And Steve Berkowitz, head of
Columbia Legacy A&R, talks about that uniquely American
musical creation – the blues. He helped put together “The
Story of the Blues” project for Sony.
Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert, Paul Dinello, and Amy Sedaris talk about the fictional town of Wigfield. It’s a bucolic place on the brink of disaster - and journalist Russell Hokes may be the only one who cares.
