Summary
Songwriting team Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, on this edition of Fresh Air. Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx have won Tony awards for their Broadway musical, Avenue Q, (Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best Book of a Musical). There's a new companion book, Avenue Q: The Book, and you can't miss it at the bookstore. It's covered in bright orange fur. The subversive show features people and puppets and is about a group of aimless, 30-somethings with low expectations and active libidos. It includes such songs as "It Sucks to be Me", "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist", "If You Were Gay", and "I Wish I Could Go Back to College". [Original Airdate: August 2, 2004]. Then, music critic Milo Miles tells us how the klezmer-fusion band the Klezmatics are keeping the music of Woody Guthrie alive. Their latest albums are Woody Guthrie's Happy Joyous Hanukkah and the Grammy-nominated Wonder Wheel. We conclude with critic at large John Powers, who reviews Preston Sturges: The Filmmaker Collection, a new seven DVD set of classic 1940s Preston Sturges films. Titles include The Palm Beach Story, The Lady Eve, and Christmas in July. [Broadcast Date: December 15, 2006]
Then hear Woody Guthrie's autobiography Bound for Glory.Subscribe for one month or 12 months.
