Father John Misty

In March 2014, during the performance of "Bored in the USA" on the Late Show with David Letterman, Father John Misty was in the midst of promoting his critically acclaimed album *I Love You, Honeybear*. Released just weeks before this live recording, on February 10, 2015, the album marked a significant milestone in his career, showcasing his signature blend of folk and rock infused with poignant lyrical narratives. This period also highlighted his rising popularity, as *I Love You, Honeybear* was recognized for its exploration of themes like love, disillusionment, and personal introspection. Interestingly, Misty’s performance on the show was underpinned by his charismatic stage presence and candid, often satirical approach to societal norms, which contributed to his reputation as a thought-provoking artist in the contemporary music scene.
