Halo, West Side Story, Meshell
Video game violence nearly snuffs out host Kurt Andersen. Body armor and advanced weapons are recommended for guests on a talk show taped inside the violent online game “Halo 2.” We hear a forgotten chapter in the history of “West Side Story,” which debuted on Broadway 50 years ago this week. Violinist Eugene Drucker, of the Emerson Quartet, makes his debut as a novelist with The Savior. And we squeeze an interview out of notoriously shy musician Meshell Ndegeocello.
