2. What is the intro music the band played?

I'm trying to place it because Jon Batiste always comes up with something appropriate, like when he plays "Caravan" when Stephen talks about the border.

4. Bach

Air on the G string. Hard to tell how/why it’s appropriate.

5. Maybe he is just showing his vast repetoire. He went to Julliard. I am always impressed with

his abilities and creativity.

The Air sounded nice when his group played it...

3. He talked about Biden hanging in there past IA & NH, but Biden is leading there in polls...

I think Biden is leading in those states. But Matthews makes a good case for how Warren's campaign could get catapulted on these first few states.

I like Matthews. He can be controversial, but he has Democratic cred, and his knowledge of politics is deep. He always has interesting insights and asks good questions (although he may not let the guest answer!).

6. Tweety! DU's been calling him that since before the advent of Twitter...

DU should get residuals for every "tweet"
