CHARLES OSGOOD
 
 
Charles Osgood  (born Charles Osgood Wood, III on January 8, 1933) is a radio and television commentator in the United States, and a writer.  His daily program, The Osgood File, has been broadcast on the CBS Radio Network since 1971.  Osgood hosts CBS News Sunday Morning.  He is also known for being the voice of the narrator of Horton Hears a Who!, an animated film released in 2008, based on the book of the same name by Dr. Seuss.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
The king of all of the new garage-y bands is probably the blues-rock duo the Black Keys.   
 
The Black Keys in fact have become so mainstream that I was astounded to see the band profiled last year on the CBS Sunday Morning show that is hosted by Charles Osgood.  During their interview, the bandmembers mentioned that their music has also been featured in numerous TV ads.  That used to be seen as the ultimate sell-out, but no longer.
