On today’s show, Rosanne Cash performs live in our studio. And Craig Ferguson, the host of "The Late Late Show" tells us about his debut novel. Plus, Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen will be here. And to start it all off: word maven Patricia T. O’Conner!
Word maven Patricia T. (Words Fail Me) O’Conner takes on mixed metaphors, and your questions about the English language. Call 212-433-9692.
Within two years, three of the most important people in Rosanne Cash’s life died: her mother, her father Johnny Cash, and her step-mother June Carter Cash. Today, she performs songs from Black Cadillac--the album she wrote about losing them. She's joined by her husband (and longtime co-producer and co-writer) John Leventhal.
