Salinger Page #14

"I mean, if I had

J.D. Salinger and you to dinner,

"what would you want to know?"

I said, "Well, I think I'd want

to know if he's still writing."

She said, "Well, yes,

he's still writing."

I said, "OK." And...

She said, "Anything else

you'd want to know?"

I said, "No, just

that he's OK, I guess."

She said, "He's fine."

Every moment

was so precious...

"So there's no reason for you

to ever see him, is there?"

Dinner was over.

That was as close as I got

to J.D. Salinger.

It's such a perfect day

I remember we were walking

Up to strawberry swing

I can't wait till the morning

Wouldn't wanna change a thing

People moving all the time

Inside a perfectly

straight line

Don't you wanna curve away?

And it's such

It's such a perfect day

It's such a perfect day

Ah-ah...

Ah-ah

Now the sky could be blue

I don't mind

Without you,

it's a waste of time

Could be blue

I don't mind

Without you,

it's a waste of sky...

It's called

'Catcher in the Rye',

and it has some

very risqu parts.

Alright!

Strong, vulgar language.

And, in fact...

...many schools across

the country still ban this book

because it's thought to be

so inappropriate.

Oh, man, I can't wait!

Tonight, more coverage of

Washington's Foley Follies,

a tribute to one of America's

most underrated presidents,

and I sit down

with author J.D. Salinger.

Jon?

J.D. Salinger

is on your show tonight?

Yeah, got a new book out.

He's doing a junket.

Me, 'Hannity & Colmes'

and 'The View'.

Stephen, you're... you're...

...you're lying, right?

Well, I did invite

Salinger to come on.

Can we please read this

right now?!
