Jeff Bridges and South African Sci-Fi
This week, Kurt Andersen talks with Jeff Bridges — the Oscar-winning actor has just released a country-rock album, produced by his old friend T Bone Burnett. Neil Finn, lead singer of Crowded House, gets inspired by the 80s dance-punk band ESG. And a sculpture in Indianapolis that’s supposed to bring people together instead divides the city. And we meet newly acclaimed sci-fi author Lauren Beukes.
