In July 1999 David Letterman was interviewing Leigh Nash, lead singer for the pop music group Sixpence None the Richer, on his Late Show. He asked Nash to explain how her band got that unusual name. She replied, "It comes from the book Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis. A little boy asks his father [for] a sixpence [coin]. . .. to buy a gift for his father. The father gladly accepts the gift but realizes he's not any richer because he gave his son the money in the first place." Letterman summed it up then, saying, "So he really bought his own gift." "That's right," Nash continued. "C. S. Lewis was comparing that to his belief that God had given him and us the gifts that we possess, and to serve [God] the way we should, we should do it humbly, realizing how we got the gifts in the first place." Letterman responded, "Well, that's beautiful."
