The Cicadas Are Coming – John Oliver

The Cicadas Are Coming -  John Oliver

Billions of cicadas will soon emerge after spending 17 years underground, and John Oliver feels that the hungry horde deserve to be filled in on what’s happened above ground. While 17 years doesn’t sound like a long time, we have undergone some major changes. John hits on changes in technology, music and  politics, pop culture, sports, humor and the internet itself. While the internet is a big topic, we’re reminded that ‘going on line’ is no longer a ‘thing’ – nor does anyone feel nostalgia for the ‘good old days’ when an ear-splitting  screech announced that dial-up had been accomplished.

John’s amusing catch-up is a must-see, and after he’s covered all of the major changes, there is just one important word of advice for the swarms of cicadas – and the rest of us quite frankly.

  “Enjoy the world while you have the chance, because to tell you the truth this planet may not be around in another 17 years and  I do not have time to explain that to you!”   “That” is the assumed Republican nominee, at whom John is pointing.
