The Dish from DeCurtis

Rolling Stone contributing editor Anthony DeCurtis is the Larry King of music journalism, landing big interviews and important scoops. His new book, In Other Words: Artists Talk about Life and Work is out in bookstores later this month, and contains in-depth conversations with everyone from Johnn Cash to Woody Allen to Bono. Today, he talks about getting music's greatest legends to open up and tell their stories. Also on the show: saxophonist and bandleader Fred Anderson. At 76, he's one of the most venerated figures of the Chicago avant-garde, although he has remained out of the limelight for much of his career. Today, he joins us to share his remarkable career path and boundary-bursting music.
