At first I thought, like most men do when they see something like this is, what did I do now or what do I have to do later? Upon reading the message, I was quite taken back to have read a shocking memo. Before going to bed, she had noticed a familiar name listed as a guest for that nights Colbert Report. She then recorded it on our PVR (TIVO) machine so I could view it later to see if I knew the interviewee. Thank God she did because it was Carl Wilson from my old high school in Brantford, Ontario!<\/p>\n<p>After seeing it for myself that evening when I returned from work, I had to check out Facebook to see if anyone else saw it. As it turned out, a few people did! Then I checked out one of his web sites called <a rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zoilus.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"ext-link\">Zoilus<\/a> and found a real neat video of a actor named James Franco being interviewed while on the Red carpet at the Oscars about what some of his <a rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=v52RJsaoOjk\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"ext-link\">guilty pleasures are<\/a>. He then brought up Carl&#8217;s latest book. It seems like the little guy from Brantford does good, way to go Carl!!!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-968 aligncenter\" title=\"theguysinnwt\" src=\"https:\/\/feverishthoughts.com\/guitar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/theguysinnwt.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"323\" align=\"center\" srcset=\"https:\/\/feverishthoughts.com\/guitar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/theguysinnwt.jpg 450w, https:\/\/feverishthoughts.com\/guitar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/theguysinnwt-300x215.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>L-R Me, Yuergen Beck, Carl Wilson and Mike McGraw<\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p>Keep on Jammin&#8217; Carl<\/p>\n<div class=\"c354d1e329b235f1862b41000f5a4d18\" data-index=\"9\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<br\/>\r\n<div align=\"center\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-3375789278566919\";\r\n\/* Guitar_inpost_300x250 *\/\r\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"3631424768\";\r\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\r\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\r\n\/\/-->\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\r\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br\/>\r\n<?php if ( is_search() || is_single() || is_page() || is_paged() || is_category() || is_archive() ) { ?>\r\n<div align=\"center\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\nch_client = \"dragonden\";\r\nch_type = \"mpu\";\r\nch_width = 468;\r\nch_height = 120;\r\nch_color_bg = \"FFFFFF\";\r\nch_color_title = \"7dc246\";\r\nch_color_text = \"333333\";\r\nch_non_contextual = 4;\r\nch_vertical =\"premium\";\r\nch_sid = \"guitarlicks_betweenposts2\";\r\nvar ch_queries = new Array( );\r\nvar ch_selected=Math.floor((Math.random()*ch_queries.length));\r\nif ( ch_selected < ch_queries.length ) {\r\nch_query = ch_queries[ch_selected];\r\n}\r\n\/\/--><\/script>\r\n<script  src=\"http:\/\/scripts.chitika.net\/eminimalls\/amm.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<?php } ?>\r\n<br\/>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To my amazement, an old friend of mine from high school, Carl Wilson, was on the Colbert Report the other day.
