Just for the record, Conan will always be The Tonight Show host for me, in my heart. And Andy Richter will always be his sidekick. In my heart. And that version of “Freebird”? With Ben Harper, Beck, ZZ Top, Will Ferrell, The Tonight Show band, and oh yeah! Conan shredding it on guitar? Yeah that will also be in my heart. Forever.
Watch Neil Young play “Long May You Run” (tear) RIGHT HERE:
But seriously. Between that song and Conan’s choked up admonition to work hard and be kind, that was the most teary-eyed I’ve ever been during late night television. Long may you run, Coco. Long may you run.
