Conan O’Brien Covers “Blue Moon of Kentucky”
There may be an ongoing Writer’s Strike, but there’s clearly not a Rockin’ Strike affecting Conan O’Brien. On last Friday’s Late Night, The Cone Zone proved that he’s not “just gonna waste a lot of time with low-concept nonsense” while waiting for his writers to return. Backed by The Max Weinberg 7 and outfitted in country garb, Consie performed a must-see and raucous cover of Bill Monroe’s “Blue Moon of Kentucky.” The performance more than tops his previously mentioned covers and demonstrates why (even without writers) Conan is one of TV’s finest.
