Review of Down With Letterman

Storytelling is actually quite important, and I'm glad pieces like this carry on the tradition. It reminds me of the African tradition of griots who pass down knowledge orally. In a sense, that is what radio is today and I don't think it will die out.
Although the levels are bit off, the capture of Lance's story crackles with a warmth and spontaneity that immediately draws me in. An afterthought for me was how much American pop culture really affects our lives and the way we behave. Perfecto!
