Pin-ups, Lynch, Kweller

We meditate on war and culture. Kurt talks with the author Evan Thomas about what makes Clint Eastwood’s pair of Word War II movies so compelling for audiences today. During WWII the campy image of the pin-up girl was wildly popular, and she’s still around 60 years later, thanks to artist Olivia de Berardinis. David Lynch describes how meditation fuels his surreal filmmaking. And we’ll hear music from the Somali-born hip-hop artist K’naan and singer-songwriter Ben Kweller, already on his second music career at age 25.
