Middle School Metal & Detroit’s Art for Sale

Studio 360

This week in Studio 360, Kurt talks with middle-school metalheads Unlocking the Truth. Performing together since kindergarten, the boys have long since mastered the art of slaying. They play live in our studio. Detroit reporter Mark Stryker discusses the unprecedented possibility that masterpieces from the Detroit Institute of Arts — Breughels, Van Goghs — could be on the table as an asset during bankruptcy proceedings. Kurt talks with Renata Adler, whose 30-year-old novels are some of this summer’s buzziest books. And we hear the final installment of our Hawaiian adventure with Jack Handey.
