When he was on Letterman the other night, he said everytime he picks  
up his guitar the kids say "No, don't sing. You're too sad. Let Mommy  
sing."

I am really liking the CD myself. It is different, and I had to  
listen to it a few times before I felt like I heard it.
YMMV.

Neko is on Conan tonight.
