Lawrence Fishburne recites "Freedom is a Breakfast Food" on Late Late Show Interview with Craig Ferguson.
"Deeds cannot dream what dreams can do."
Craig Ferguson, known as the dark-humored, Scottish-American host of the Late Late Show said his final good night this past Friday night. I remember randomly tuning into his appropriately titled late night talk show back when I was in high school and college. There was always an underlying wink to the twisted tone of his show that was characteristic of the post-midnight time slot.
I specifically remember watching this interview he had with Lawrence Fishburne, where the actor felt like he was in a comfortable enough environment to recite the inter-linguistic e.e. cummings poem, Freedom is a Breakfast Food. This is the type of setting that Craig Ferguson's show was able to foster. You won't typically see the highest form of poetry being expertly recited by an A-level actor on cable television—and it is this nocturnal, laissez-faire overtone that allowed for liberating interviews, such as this one, to happen. Enjoy a last look at the laid-back platform that allowed these living words of e.e. cummings to re-flourish.
