Originally Published: September 19, 2011Common talks with Jon Stewart about White House poetry scandale
Once upon a spring, a rapper and poet named Common was called upon by his country (Michelle Obama) to read poems at the White House...remember? The ensuing controversy over the invitation was, in fact, all over the news. Well, Common's back; he's got a new book! When he went on the Daily Show on Wednesday night to talk about it, he and Jon Stewart mostly covered the White House poetry "dust-up." Says Jon: "Common, I don't know why I'm associating with you right now, it feels very dangerous."
Check out the interview below.
