Writer/director Jeff Greenstein (Will and Grace, Desperate Housewives, Friends) joins us again this week to unpack an album - and artist - that continues to get him spectacularly high: 'Big Science' by avant-garde titan Laurie Anderson. This weirdly wonderful, surprisingly catchy selection of musical highlights from her eight-hour production United States Live was ahead of its time in 1982, and STILL resonates today. Welcome to the future!
