    Tom Maier and Anthony Sifert open up season 5 (Blue Jean Serenade) on The Killers with the song This River is Wild off of the album Sam's Town.

After the 30 minute intro talking about Marty Robbins and other random topics, they stay surprisingly on task and discuss the problem of small-town America sending all its best citizens to the big city.
