Axl, Orson, Plastics
Kurt Andersen and Chris Elliott talk about the failures that inevitably shadow our triumphs. We’ll hear about Guns’n’Roses, which has been working on an infamous comeback record for longer than most bands exist. The playwright Austin Pendleton tells Kurt about the amazing rise and pathetic decline of Orson Welles. And we phone our listeners to hear about the bands, writers, and directors who let them down big time.
