Kurt Andersen has a cultural suggestion for President Bush: free museum admission for everybody. We go on call with a 24-hour piano tuner, and designer Michael Beirut looks at a tiny piece of graphic design that is everywhere. Kurt talks about the allure and inspiration of traveling with the novelist Walter Kirn, considering stories about a visit to the Alabama hometown of W.C. Handy during its annual celebration of the blues, the allure of the rails for a hobo poet, and a stopover at unlikely cultural destination: the Austin Airport.
