The West Coast Live production office has been laid low by the flu.
So we're keeping the show going this week with several appropriate guests, including Michael O'Brien (of Karl and Carl) interviewing Lance Boyle, apparently in charge of entertainment for the inaugural. Also when SEDGE welcomes:
Historian
DORIS KEARNS GOODWIN
with her book Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, on which the popular new movie Lincoln is based. How Lincoln chose his cabinet
Poet
GUY JOHNSON
author of such acclaimed works as Standing at the Scratch Line and Echoes of a Distant Summer, the West Coast Live poet laureate one year.
Historian
KEVIN STARR
the American historian best known for his multi-volume series on the history of California, collectively called Americans and the California Dream.- The great ebullient man died this week at 76 in San Francisco. He kept California together in his writings. We'll hear a couple of interviews, one about the Golden Gate Bridge, which, with his vitality depicts the vim of this state over time.
