So I watched it last night and jon was on through 3 commercial breaks, and let me tell you one thing for sure: Jon is definitly going to enter the ring of politics. His reserved and pseudo-contemplative style told anyone watching that this was the only avenue for him. The brevity and repetition of his answers was completely scripted (like a politician).
He talked of touring and music as a 'been there done that' endeavor, and that actors and people like 'Tom Hanks' should be president of the USA. 'It's not the most far-fetched idea' he kept repeating (what an astute politic response) as the host continued to bombard him with the ludicrous reality he was proposing. He passed on his good will for Arnold and said that he would 'vote for him [for president] in a second.' He stated also, 'what diplomat of the world wouldn't be swayed by this man when they walked into the room with him.'
He said America is at its most narrow-minded point in history and sited the gay marriage issue.
He bombarded the audience with what a great entrepreneur he was and all of the humanitarian endeavors he has undertaken.
And he said all of this with only a few rehearsed sentences that he would repeat and reword for the entire interview.
Oh, and he loves his wife. And women rule the world. And where would we be without them?
I am being a bit synical and comedic here and Jon was sick, but it was a pretty bleak (or just boring) half hour of television.
