My Heart Would Know

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Word maven Patricia T. (You Send Me) O’Conner explores the quirks and characteristics of the English language. Then, Annie Murphy Paul warns of the dangers and inaccuracies of personality tests in her new book The Cult of Personality. Next, Welsh rocker and former Velvet Underground musician John Cale joins us with a live performance in the studio. And he’ll be discussing his first full-length album in eight years: HoboSapiens. Finally, Derek McCormack shares his novella The Haunted Hillbilly--his gothic imagining of the dark side of gay culture in country music.
