Robbie Robertson Goes Nonfiction

Robbie Robertson wrote some of the greatest rock songs of the late ’60s and ’70s.   As a member of The Band, he penned classic songs filled with rueful stories and quirky characters.   Robertson’s first album in more than a decade, How to Become Clairvoyant, is more memoir than fiction.   He talks with Kurt Andersen about how he learned the art of storytelling on the Six Nations reservation.
