>> i don't accept his wd on what his taxes say. >> let the public see it. let them understand what's in those tax returns. >> i never paid less than 13%. kids with lemonade stands paying more than 13%. >> an air war against mosquitoes was launched overnight in dallas. >> miss kit owe insecticide in the air. the west nile virus sickened people and killed some. it's not something i'm a fan of. >> the assumption sinkhole nearly cost two workers their lives. >> build a new interchange. it took seconds to blow up a bridge. the allegheny river. >> off the coast of chile, maybe helicopters sent in to rescue the crew members on board. race car driver zipped through the new york tunnel that connects new york and new jersey. at more than 190 miles per hour. the fish is inpress sif.

about his taxes and explaining why he believes medicare has to be reformed. jan crawford is in washington. >> good morning, gayle and anthony. remember we thought anything that takes away from the economy will be good for the obama reelection team. that's because the economy is supposed to be the main issue voters care about. now the romney campaign is deciding to take the issue of medicare head on and yesterday look at this, romney pulled out a felt-tip marker and stood in front of a white board to explain why. >> which of these two do you think is better? going bankrupt or being solid? >> obviously solvent. >> fundraisers in south carolina yesterday, romney talked about medicare and giving the press koran impromptu lesson on his policies versus the president's. >> the differences could not be more stark and dramatic. as the seniors understand what the president's plan is doing to

medicare, they'll find it unacceptable. >> both sides want a substantive conversation on medicare, an issue that's been called a political third rail. >> this is exactly what we want to talk about. the substantive issues that will be decided for this country and will have huge impact on this country. >> this is a debate we want to have. this is a debate we need to have and this is a debate we're going to win. >> romney with the white board is not out of left field. he gave a power point presentation in 2011 to discuss his plan for health care. wanted to teach his media ve audience a thing about his plan. like students in the classroom, they wanted to talk about something else, specifically romney's taxes. facing questions about tax returns hasn't yet released, romney volunteered new information on his tax rates. >> the fascination with taxes i paid, i find to be very small-minded compared to the broad issues that we face.

but i did go back and look at my taxes. over the past ten years, i never paid less than 13%. the obama campaign put out a statement and said if that's the case, he should prove it. romney maintains he's only going to release the last two years of returns. he said the democrats will never be satisfied. >> jan crawford, thanks. with us is republican governor scott walker of wisconsin. good morning, governor. >> good morning. good to be with you. >> governor romney says he never paid less than 13%. the president says prove it. should governor romney be forced to release his tax returns? should he release them? >> this issue is completely ridiculous. i talked to voters of my state. they don't care about this. they care about their own taxes and most importantly what it means to jobs in the state. what i want to hear about from governor romney, and i want to hear from the president, what are you going to do things to turn things around? the obama campaign wants to talk about this because they don't

want voters in states like mine to look at the failed record. looking at a candidate who four years ago said debt at $4 trillion was unpatriotic. he's added more to that. he's nowhere near cutting. the obama campaign wants to talk about this, of course. voters in our state want to know what you're going to do to turn things around. and mitt romney and paul ryan have a substantive plan to do that and put people back to work. >> governor walker, wisconsin is considered a key state. how much of a difference do you think your friend paul ryan will make, especially since he hasn't run statewide? >> well, you look at the first congressional district where i grew up in a small town, paul's district is book end by janesville where he lives and kenosha, two working class blue collar areas. in that district when he first ran it, it was almost evenly split. he's not won an election by less

than 60% since then. in a state that in 2000, 2004 that was decided by a few thousand votes. in the past they voted for clinton and voted for barack obama. those are people who voted many times for paul ryan before. could be the difference. a lot of voters in our state and across america thought they were getting bill clinton. they're realizing they made a mistake. the economy is not any better. the budget isn't balanced as it was under bill clin tochblt it's time to acknowledge we made a mistake. you need to put together a comeback team and that's what you get with ryan. i understand five minutes after he made his speech in virginia, that your phone rang and it was paul ryan on the line. true? >> yeah. paul, just set aside the politics, paul is one of the brightest most courageous people i know in politics. but he's one of the most decent people. paul and i grew up not far from each other. we were both flipping hamburgers

back in high school. the manager said he didn't have the interpersonal skills. obviously, that guy is wondering what he was thinking back then. paul is a good, decent person. i think that's why he does so well in a district so evenly divided. the more people get to know him, the more they realize he'll be a great vice president. >> governor scott walker. thanks, governor. in afghanistan this morning, a local policeman opened fire on members of the u.s. military killing two american soldiers. also an afghan soldier shot at another unit of troops. as reporting from kabul, that makes seven such incidents in the past two weeks. >> there have been two incidents today where afghan forces turned on the international troops they are meant to be working with. in the western province much far a, members of the local police shot and killed u.s. troops. we're still getting reports. we understand the shooter was killed. meanwhile, we're hearing about a second incident in the southern province of kandahar. there a member of the afghan

security forces opened fire and injured two international soldiers working alongside him. now, there has been an alarming increase in these incidents this year. 30 so far. the taliban leader says that it is a deliberate plan much infiltration by his movement. we can't confirm that. incidence of violence have increased over weeks. a blackhawk helicopter came down in kandahar yesterday killing all 11 on board. seven were u.s. troops. now we can't confirm if it was shot down. it came down in a hostile area. but nato says it's still investigating. for "cbs this morning," kitty logan, in kabul. officials in dallas have started widespread spraying of insecticide. they're trying to wipe out mosquitoes responsible for the worst outbreak of west nile virus in years.

it's blamed for ten deaths in the ninth largest city. manuel bojorquez in dallas has more. >> good morning. more than a third of the deaths are in dallas county from west nile virus. two twin-engine planes targeted acres in dallas county last night. at least a dozen cities in the county will be part of the aerial spraying program. the cdc reports 693 cases of west nile nationwide, the highest since 1999. almost half of those sickened are in texas and so far dallas county 217 people have been stricken. >> the target mosquito we're after primarily is only active during the first hours after the sun goes down. >> health officials and biologists say the spraying is safe and many welcomed the emergency measure. >> we support the spraying. every time we've stepped outside

all summer long, we've been swarmed by mosquitoes. we know several people that have become ill with west nile virus. >> despite the outbreak, others remained concerned. >> i'm not a fan of spraying at all. i have an organic restaurant, for one. so for me, i have not had one mosquito bite all summer. to put extra kem cams in the air is not something i'm a fan of. >> despite the concerns, the spraying can't happen fast enough for dallas mayor mike rawlings and the city council which declared a state of emergency. >> i'm in a tight window because we have people dying, okay? we have to have a sense of urgency to get this done now. that's what's the most important thing. >> this is the first time dallas has seen aerial spraying since 1966 and for now, it will continue. controversy or not. manuel bojorquez, thanks, man well. south african officials say they were protecting themselves at a platinum mine.

shooting, the columbine, all of them. >> fear is partly why 10.2 million guns have been sold this year. a record pace ahead of last year. also driving the sales, the fear of stricter gun control laws under a second obama administration. >> have you seen this type of spike during other presidential elections? >> i have not, to be honest with you. i haven't. >> so you think this is specific to obama? >> i do. >> this range makes their own ammo and supplies. a lot of the gun stores in the area say they can't keep up with the demand. it's not just local. nationally, one major gun manufacturer has stopped taking any new orders because they can't keep up with the old ones. >> the fbi tracks background checks on gun owners. the numbers project 3 million more guns could be sold by the end of this year. >> the fact that in the last month or so they spiked higher actually surprises me because they've been so high. it's hard to get a spike at

record sale numbers. >> record numbers because moms like michelle say they have no choice. i'm not going to let them go to a movie theater and be slaughtered. >> for "cbs this morning," i'm tammy light ner in los angeles. wikileaks founder julian assange may be staying in ecuador for a little longer. he was dpranted asylum on thursday there nearly two months after he fled to the embassy. british officials say they will not let him leave the country. assange is trying to avoid sex assault allegations in sweden. he will make a statement outside the embassy on sunday giving police the chance to arrest him. one. most feared off shoots of al qaeda is looking for a few good terrorists. al qaeda in the arabian peninsula launched an online ad for suicide bombers. john miller, former deputy director of national intelligence is with us this morning. good morning, john.

left. what they're really saying you don't need to come to yemen, we don't need to train you. we can train you online with instructions but your targets are germany, france, great britain and more than anything the united states. al qaeda of the arabian peninsula, that off shoot if yemen has the ticket direct from osama bin laden when he was alive saying you take the lead in attacking the u.s. so far, these ads have gotten 3500 hits. so it's generating some concern. >> does it seem odd to you, john, because it's so blatant? we think of al qaeda such as security conscious organization. >> well, this website is pretty security conscious. number one, you need to apply to get on. then you are vetted by security conscious people who work there checking your background and so on. then if you do get in, if you're not active all the time, if you're not in the discussions, if you don't sound like you're know what you're talking about,

you don't know arabic, they take you off. they're wary of intelligence services, lurkers and others. there's been a number of attacks, including the attack on the cia base where people connected to this website were involved. it's kwot got some credibility. >> is there -- can they shut the website down? >> that's the thing. without sago owe this website has been taken down before. but they pop up quickly on ner server sometimes in another country. do you do better by collection of intelligence by monitoring them to stop an attack than you do knocking them down and having to find them again. >> john miller, thanks. time to show you the headlines from around the globe.

this is a commuter -- normally people crawl through this tunnel. a racer went 190 miles an hour. it took him 30 seconds to go through the mile and a half tunnel. there's been days you can be in the tunnel for an hour to go that mile and a half. it is 8:00. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king. charlie rose is off today. >> i want that commute. i want that car. i'm anthony mason. james brown is here. july was the hottest month in the lower 48 states since they started keeping records in 1895. we've seen records and huge wildfires because of that.

>> there's another troubling effect. as ben tracy reports shall it's melting the few remaining glaciers. >> good morning, guys. 2 million people visit montana's glacier national park and they go to visit the namesake masses of ice. but the glaciers are melting faster than scientists predicted a few years ago and could be entirely gone in two decades. >> it is a landscape so stunning, it's called the crown of the continent. >> that's really something else. >> over tens of thousands of years, massive sheets of ice slowly slid and chewed away at the rock carving out these valleys. now these frozen forces of nature are in full-scale retreat. >> we are into something that's very unusual. >> dan is a scientist with

united states geological survey. he's been studying the glaciers in glacier national park for 20 years. >> the glaciers are continuing to shrink every year. and at some point they will be gone. i can remember exactly where a lot of these glaciers used to be and see how much smaller they are. >> he has the pictures to prove it. they show how in just a few decades many of the park's glaciers have shrunk dramatically. since 1966, 11 of them have completely melted away. there were once 150 glaciers here in the park, now there are just 25. scientists believe in the next 10 to 20 years, they could all be gone. the glaciers have been shrinking since 1850. scientists say climate change, fueled by human pollution has made the melt quicker and more extreme. the average temperature in the park has risen 2 degrees. spring arrives about three weeks earlier and the snow pack has been declining for 50 years.

>> the snow is melting faster than it is being added to. so the glaciers are just getting smaller. >> cory holloway is a glacier guide. she took us across two turquoise lakes formed by glacier runoff. then led us on a hike five miles up the side of this mountain to the top of the glacier. one of the park aers most iconic ice sheets. in 1938 it covered nearly an entire valley. between 1981 and 2009, it started to quickly shrink. are you seeing more people come here because they know they have a short period of time to actually see this? >> i think so. we've made a lot of top ten lists lately. you have to come here before a certain time, before the glaciers melt and see the glaciers. >> the glaciers are just shrinking and shrinking. >> laurel's first hiked here 23 years ago. she's shocked by how much is gone. >> it's quite interesting to see it change that fast.

i just find that -- a glacier sounds permanent. all of a sudden, you're like no way, it can't. it can't change that quickly and yet, it is. >> so there could come a day where you have to head quite a bit further north to see dplash yers like here in alaska. 5% of this state is still covered in ice. there are about 2,000 major glaciers. yet, the twilight of montana's glaciers is not just about the changing scenery. >> why should we care that they're melting so quickly? >> this is a huge portion of our freshwater on this earth. when they're gone, we lose that. that's huge. >> the glaciers and snowmelt lead to streams and lakes, a lifeline for other fish and animals such as big horn sheep that call this home. with hotter summers, some wildflowers are disappearing, the forests are drier and more disease-ridden. there are more extreme wildfires.

in 2003, 10% of the park burned. >> from the air, you can still see the ashen scars stretch across entire hillsides and valleys. >> it's not just the glaciers. it's the entire mountain ecosystem changing. >> how does this look 20 or 30 years from now? >> it will look different and functioning differently. it will still be a terrific landscape to come and enjoy. but it will have been changed by climate change. >> gorgeous, beautiful pictures, ben. >> amazing place to visit. >> i wouldn't think that pollution would be a problem there. that's what surprised me about that piece. >> me too. i asked them that. you don't think of this pristine wilderness as a place where there's an issue. they said it's like a petri dish. because you don't have any of the other factors to deal with. you can see how the climate is changing, especially as the temperature creeps up.

>> if the glaciers disappear, what does that do to tourism in. >> this is an area that relies on tourism. 4,000 jobs are dependent on that. about a billion dollars a year for the tourism industry. this place will be gorgeous without glaciers, but clearly a lot of people come just to see the ice sheets and walk on them. >> walking on them. i'm not going to do it five miles up. you weren't sweating when you did your stand-up. >> magic of television. >> i understand. can man do anything to offset this or slow this up at all? >> that is one. things everyone is looking into. obviously, everyone wants to do anything they can to slow it down. the scientists say they would have been disa feared in a hundred years anyway. but now that it's ten years to 20 years, anything that can prolong that would be a good thing.

when facebook stock went on the market, it was priced at $38. that's when i wisely snapped it up. now, shares worth $19.87. some investors are even suing facebook claiming they were misled. their ceo is a kid in a hoodie. how misled could we have been? let's be honest. facebook plans to make up the losses soon by selling all of our personal information to everyone. >> he's a smart kid in a hoodie. a few weeks ago, we told you

about a new list of all-time best movies. hundreds of movie critics butt vertigo number one ahead of citizen kane. >> if you'd rather watch real housewives than other movies, what does that mean? >> we'll talk about guilty pleasures with two top writers in "the new york times." it's time for "healthwatch" with dr. holly phillips. >> good morning. today in "healthwatch," home ownership and allergies. if you rent rather than own your home, your allergies could pay the price. renters are less likely to make indoor modifications to improve their allergies. researchers gave 60 people with allergi allergies, 28 recommendations to decrease allergens in their home, including using an air purifier, getting rid of carpet and putting covers over upholstered furniture. 90% of homeowners made at least one of the recommended changes.

while just 63% of renters did the same. people who rent their homes may be less motivated to improve their conditions because home improvements just don't seem worth it for a rented property. in addition to mild symptoms, indoor allergies can cause severe headaches. problems breathing and long-term issues with vision and even concentration. so while your rental may be temporary, your health is permanent. little changes may bring big relief. i'm dr. holly phillips. >> cbs "healthwatch" sponsored by ocean spray. tastes good. good for you. it tastes real good, and it's good for you. i use it to make our refreshing cranberry lemonade. ahh! summer. find all our recipes at oceanspray.com.

angry birds, guilty pleasure? >> it's a cruel addiction. >> "50 shades of grey." that is the greatest pleasure to watch people on the subway reading about the whips and chains and stuff like that. just to know that -- >> playing the ipad. there's a lot more people reading it and you can't see how

guilty their pleasures are. >> imagining that everyone on the subway train is, is a great guilty pleasure. >> what is a.o. scott thinking? the sweet spot at ny times is a guilty pleasure itself. film critic a.o. scott and media columnist david carr talk about media and pop culture. they're here to talk about things that we probably shouldn't. >> david, let's start with your definition of a guilty pleasure. >> you're at a dinner party, everyone is talking about i love breaking bad. it's incredible. and what have you been watching? i said well i just did a marathon of cops. [ laughter ] you say, look, cops is about the pageant of america. where else are you going to see that many people in handcuffs with their shirts off? who can resist that sm. >> it's a guilty pleasure that no one likes to admit they're

watching. it's like you have to explain. i watch it. but i really don't want to watch it. >> or you have to have some kind of bogus justification. i'm a big fan of the step-up franchise. because of my interest in -- >> that's horrifying. >> my scientific about interest in the human bellybutton. >> interesting segment with me learning. i'm the biggest square around. you guys say that our pleasures today, guilty pleasures are much less guilty than before. what do you mean by that? >> partly, that it used to be thought that certain things that you could be into were just inherently kind of disreputable or not respectable. in the '40s and '50s. having a critic to write about movies is that a french -- >> now intellectual snobs write about them and. >> and if you had i dud is like me. same thing with comic books. all of the stuff that used to be not respectable and now you can study it in college.

you can get a degree in it. >> part of what happens is the high and the low have been screwed together and mashed up. now that we can crack wise on facebook, crack wise on twitter. what used to be thought of low culture once annotated and written about becomes something more interesting. because we're all able to laugh together. >> we can all pretend that it's ironic too. which i think is a great dodge. i think people are watching these shows getting into them. >> you just watch tv. >> exactly. >> you just sort of zone out. it was interesting that you went around "the new york times" and asked some of your colleagues. >> when people think of "the new york times," they think of what? >> fuddy and duddy. were you surprise add the what your colleagues are watching? >> i thought it was stunning: i was deeply ashamed by some responses. one guy is hung up on the archie's. et the editor of the book review

watches carol king and james taylor singing you've got a friend. >> and also window dressings. >> one of the worst offenders was someone said the words partridge family at the morning times. >> you don't want that. >> also the great rock monster yes album tales of topographic oceans, i think. >> it's an absolutely unlistenable -- >> unlistenable. you have to be under the influence to enjoy it. so you're implicating yourself when you say that. >> under the influence. >> that guy failed the company drug test by mentioning that album. >> yes. >> it was a lot about reality shows. what does this say about us? really as a culture that we seem to really be, i hate the word obsessed with reality shows. a lot of us are watching the reality shows. >> cantina vega, a really smart young colleague of mine who i've had a high opinion of says i

like anything with a wife in it, the mob wives, the real housewives. i do think it's become a way of talking about the other. of finding someone else to laugh at. of feeling good about yourself. because they're very, very predictable. you know right when the -- when the woman is going to upend the table and freak out. somehow that satisfies our view. >> that is exactly a guilty pleasure or something you should feel ashamed of. is watching a show just to feel better than the people that you're watching. >> unbelievable. >> let's pivot here and talk about film. the british film institute says that citizen kane has been knocked from the top perch of the best film all-time? >> yes. this is the every ten years they do a poll. and mostly of film critics and citizen kane has been the consensus favorite i think for 30 or 40 years.

>> years. >> all of a sudden, hitchcock comes up. i'm not sure what that means except that maybe vertigo is a more sort of self-conscious movie about movies. and about the movie watching industry. >> citizen kane is kind of boring too? >> it's about newspapers and nobody knows what newspapers are anymore. what's squarer than that. >> i have the attention span of a gnat. >> movies being made for older people. like the meryl streep, tommy lee jones movie is really fantastic. but it didn't do well. it didn't open high. >> we're doing the show -- >> we're doing a show today and your psychic to mention it, demonstrates that hollywood is reaching out to people beyond the kids, partly because kids stay home, adults are willing to go to the multiplex and meryl streep -- >> you're ready to go. thank you both. thank you tony and david.

can you imagine david letterman doing anything other

i lost my best friend. everything i knew switched. switched in a night. and i couldn't control that. so i had to deal with that. that's not easy for me to understand or interpret. >> uh-huh. >> it's not easy to interpret on camera. not with the world watching. so it was hard for me to even pay attention to my mind. it became a circus. and i felt protective.

like i felt like the only person that i hate right now is him. >> and i'm sure you guys know more about this than i do. it still seems obvious that she still cares deeply for him. telling oprah winfrey how embarrassed and confused she was after chris brown was arrested for assaulting her. welcome back to "cbs this morning." >> she clearly has some kind of feelings. i heard from reliable sources who shall remain nameless that she talks candidly. she got a lot of heat for talking to him. once you see that interview, maybe you'll think differently. it's sunday night. i can't wait to see it. all this week, we've been looking back at some of charlie rose's conversations with america's great comedians. we go back to 1996 as david letterman talks with charlie about his life on the late show. >> i can't imagine wanting to do anything that would be as much

of a turn on as this. when it works it's great fun. this is the only thing. i was talking to somebody earlier, you want to be in a situation comedy, in a movie. good lord, no. when this thing explodes and i hope when it does, it doesn't hurt too many people, i'm done. i would like to stay in television in some way, but i don't want to then -- it's dave. he's the goofy dentist. he's too much laughing gas. look out. thursday's at 9:00 on cbs. that ain't going to happen. >> it makes carson all that more remarkable. to do it that long. that good. >> it makes me sick. occasionally, i was flying somewhere and they had a thing, they were showing clips from the old tonight show. it just makes you sick. it makes you sick because i know what it takes for me to get through a 60-minute effort each night. then you look the carson and it's so easy. it's so smooth. it's so measured. he's not breaking a sweat. he's not running around

screaming. they don't have pier works. they don't have monkeys jumping up and down on lithium. it's just johnny. he's so comfortable. his limitations and stayed within them and exploited that part of his personality to perfection. and i think that was the appeal of the man. night in and night out, it was always going to be johnny. johnny, you could tell if he would raise an eyebrow. johnny is upset. johnny is happy. it was never much more than that. he was very, very good at that. i can't imagine another single personality attaining that status. >> is that why you so badly wanted to assume that? >> it was a pretty good job. it was a pretty good job. when i was a kid, i just -- i remember watching the tonight show and thinking to myself, hell, i could do that. no. it's interesting that i would have that impression because i think that's a testament to how easily he made it look. where a goofball kid like me

would think that i could do that. for me, it's not as easy as it was for johnny. but you know, i did want it. it was a great job. at the time, there were not many other jobs open. there were no other jobs open. when i left my 12:30 show, there was mo where else to go. if i wanted to stay here, it had to be the tonight show. >> how different is the show you're doing and the show that carson did for all those years? >> we're doing circus time. we got people swinging on things, we're setting fire to stuff. you get folks running around naked. and johnny, come out and do his monologue. the favorite part of everyone's evening. and then maybe he'd do aunt blabby and that would be it. >> do you think you have to do that? because that's where the audience is in 1996 or do you think it's a reflection of your sense of humor, of our comedy? >> i wish i could say it was a

reflection of mine. mostly at the core it is. i don't know whether we have to do that to attract and keep an audience. i don't know. >> why do you do it? >> because of the competitive nature of the current marketplace of television, which now seems infinite. you feel that that's required. lord knows, i don't know if it is required. but that's the feeling. that's the sense. it's got to be like this. >> the feeling of your staff? >> everybody. >> i think we have contributed to this, sadly. i think we've been on our own bait here. when we first came on the air, i mean, every night we had hot air balloons going up in the audience, we had people jumping out of blimps. it was just nuts. but we thought this is our one chance much we got to load it up and go here. the tonight show from the experience, they also decided, well, look what these guys are doing. >> we got do that, plus.

>> i wish i could tell you i was confident that's the right way to do it. when i see shows like this and other shows, i'm reminded maybe what you really need here, maybe all you need is legitimate communication between two people chatting and people watching. i don't know. >> but you don't trust that? >> no, i don't. you know, i've read too many things about our show. it's dull, it's old. it's tired. you think, well, yeah, that's me. i'm here. present. i'm dull, i'm old, i'm tired. tonight at 11:30. >> what do all the writers do? you have 15 writers? >> i guess. i don't know. >> do you know them? >> at the christmas party, a lot of them introduce themselves. oh, yeah -- somebody is stealing supplies. >> what is it they do? do they write the skits, the monologue? do they write what? >> yes, yes. in answer to your question -- >> what do you do sm. >> i actually do very little.

>> is that true? >> it's just as well. >> come on. you come in there, this show is your life. >> yes. >> as this is for me. >> yes. >> there's nothing you'd rather do. >> that's right. >> you were driven, obsessed to make it as good as you think it could be. >> that's right. >> my influence on this production is, as it has been for a long, long time now, the ultimate yes or no. when you have really good people, you're going to get more yeses than noes. that's my only contribution to this is hopefully saying yes more often than i say no. >> what makes a good show? >> we have an aud yents of about 500 people. they come from wherever they come in. they write in for tickets six months, three months a year in advance. they get plane tickets, baby-sitters, rental cars, they go to hotels, they have to park their car, walk, wait in line. we get these people in there. at the end of the evening, i get the sense that these people are disappointed, i realize i've failed and what makes a good

show for me any single element or combination of elements by design or accident that pleases these people and makes them satisfied with the difficulty they've had to endure to get there. i feel great, stop the clock, no more calls. this show will be fine. i think that that sense of enjoyment, you know, breaks through the glass. >> you think you're the best judge of that? >> yes. >> do you really sm. >> yes. >> i know people have said they come to you and said great show. you say to them -- >> you got a lob by full of the here yourself. >> you're convinced you know what's a good show. >> yes. i do know because i'm sitting right there. i feel it. >> how many times a week do you have a good show on the average? >> not as many as we would like. i think this -- >> three out of five sm. >> three out of five would be great. >> i would sell my soul for three out of five. sometimes we get there. sometimes we get five out of five. >> wow. >> three out of five.

>> baseball average. if you can get there. >> that's high. >> isn't it mice nice to see da letterman. he does so rare interviews. we can count how many he's done in the last ten years. just to see them together. i'm smitten with charlie rose. to see the two of them having a conversation. david is still the same. >> only 16 years ago. >> 16 years ago. >> the transparency, it's a nice cerebral conversation. like we do here. >> trying to keep it not dull. >> we try to go for more than three out of five. we do try to do that. >> aim for five out of five. you can find more of charlie's classic conversations online. go to charlie rose.com. andy grammar's catchy songs made him a big name in music. there he is. he'll be with us next on "cbs this morning." there's andy in the

i was telling you guys, i feel so professionals right now. i got my coffee, morning news. this is great. >> what was your strategy back then? you clearly had a strategy about where you wanted to position and the songs you wanted to sing? >> if you go out and play softly, you see guys in the subway. if you sing softly, nobody stops. you have to choose like break dances are a bad thing to be next to. gym nas i can due owes. >> people are doing flips next to you, you -- it doesn't cut through. i learned how to deep box and different covers and make as much noise as possible. >> there's a hole underground pay homeless guys to stand next to you or hold your spot. there was the whole thing. >> you can test your music out in that format pretty quickly, can't you? >> you can. what's cool about street performing. nobody has anything invested in you. when you start to play for your friends, you're so good. oh, my good, that is the best song i've ever heard. >> then you go out and play it,

nobody stops, nobody is giving you money. they don't want your cd's. >> tough love from the streets help. >> i would imagine you can't be thin skinned as a street performer. were you consciously going through your mind, incorporate this, and do that. >> a lot of it is all the information is there for you. if you're willing to take it and not get too down on yourself about it. people would -- you would be playing for a long time and finally someone would come up to you and you'd be like awesome. we're eating dinner and you're kind of -- if you could turn it down a little bit. oh, i've been doing this for so long. >> when you wrote, keep your head up, it was your own pep talk to you. what had been going on in your life during that time that you thought you got to write that. >> i had been on the street for a long day, i hadn't sold any cds. it's like a long eight hours of singing just to the world, basically making a statement. i want to be a musician.

katy perry numbers and your numbers are what? taylor swift numbers. your numbers are less than 70,000. you still thinking, okay, i have work to do in social media is key to you? >> totally. the numbers are saying yeah, we can grow numberswise. what's so cool about the social media thing, i don't think there's been a time in history where musicians can be so connected to their fans. >> that's true. >> i don't know what you used to do. >> you're looking at all the old people here. did you see that? i don't know what you -- >> terrible thing to do. i want to -- >> it was an honest thing to do. go ahead. >> in the old en days, if i want to play a show in seattle, what do i do? to i call my friends and say could you guys put a couple posters up? >> that's insane. >> now you go hey i'm coming to seattle tomorrow. awesome, i'll see you there. >> we know what he means by professional now. old. >> never going to let me back in. i got professional for a second. >> congratulations.
