Best Of: βThe Inviteβ screenwriters / Guitarist Lenny Kaye
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Fresh Airβs own podcast host.
Rashida Jones and Will McCormack are the screenwriting duo behind βThe Invite.β It takes on the realities of marriage in middle age, told over the course of one dinner party that spirals out of control. Theyβve been mining stories like this together for decades, finding the funny inside the painful. βWe are never above a laugh. There’s nothing that’s grave enough for us not to laugh about, because that’s how we release. That’s how we process our pain,β Jones tells Tonya Mosley.Β
Also, Lenny Kaye, Patti Smithβs longtime guitarist, has his first solo album at age 79. Itβs called βGoinβ Local.β He spoke with Terry Gross about his decades-long collaboration with Smith and evolving with age and experience.Β
