Kurt Andersen talks with singer, guitarist, and composer Ry Cooder. They talk about his new album I, Flathead,
inspired by the 1960's drag racing culture and set on the desert salt
flats of California. And as China positions itself on the world stage,
Kurt weighs in on the architectural wonders sprouting up in Beijing.
