>> Last Night on Late Night: George Ezra did “Budapest” and Jennifer Hudson did Carpool Karaoke on Corden, Alseep at the Wheel did “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love” on Letterman, Sturgil Simpson did “Just Let Go” on Coco, and Adam Horovitz talked Cabbage Alley on The Daily Show.

>> “Insecurity, bad role models, The Doors. It’s a stupid mythology. It’s like to get to that point they had to do all this serious work, but then when they were famous and they got drunk everyone was like, ‘Oh yeah, he’s famous ‘cause he’s drunk.’ People enjoy that mythology, and you eat it up as a kid. And once I was there… I don’t know, you drink, and you’re crazy, but I feel like if I were to have had the confidence to do that sober it would have been better on so many levels.” ~ Julian Casablancas
