Stephen Colbert paid homage to rock legend Glenn Frey on The Late Show Tuesday night by remembering Frey's impact on his own personal history.
Apparently Frey set Colbert on the path to "manhood" by the late night host's reckoning.
Colbert said,
"I want to take a moment to thank Glenn Frey for what he gave me. What he gave me was the song 'Desperado.' The first slow dance I ever danced to was 'Desperado.' It was the 8th grade dance?."
Colbert goes on to describe a scenario familiar to nearly anyone -- a grade school dance where the girls and boys are on opposite ends of the gym until a plucky pubescent boy (Colbert) goes up and invites a girl to dance at the absolute last minute.
She says yes, and the moment is forever captured in their hearts with the addition of a perform song: In this case, the Eagles' "Desperado."
