R.E.M. on "The Colbert Report": Stipe isn't so good with the "girl songs", but "Accelerate" makes a great codpiece

My love for Stephen Colbert is well-documented. My love for R.E.M., not so much ... probably because I'm not really a big fan. But try and tell me that this clip from Wednesday's Colbert Report, which features Colbert's insano-pundit alter-ego interviewing the rockers from atop an enormous stool and using their new record to cover his junk, isn't one of the best band interviews ever. And don't miss out frontman Michael Stipe's winking responses to the questions about writing songs about girls...

Stephen Colbert rocks....

but why doesn't the above video clip not load/work? I've even tried viewing other Stephen Colbert videos on Comedy Central's website but the same thing keeps happening there as well. When it comes to Stephen, YouTube seems to be the only way to go. Peace :)

Unfortunately Comedy Central will not allow the videos to be shown in Canada as CTV has the license here..
