Filmmaker Jason Pollard joins The Culture Show to talk about his latest documentary. “Old Dirty Bastard: A Tale of Two Dirtys,” which premieres on A&E on august 25th. This authorized biography looks at the life, career and legacy of Russel Tyrone Jones, AKA, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, the founding member of Wu-Tang Clan.
From there Edgar B. Herwick III and producer Kate Dellis take us to a place that is woven into Nantucket’s creative community, economy and history: Nantucket Looms.
Finally, a day in the life of Perry T. Rathbone, one of America’s great museum directors who brought the Museum of Fine Arts into a new era. A new book, “In the Company of Art: A Museum Director's Private Journals,” gives us insight into what it took to successfully run a megawatt art institution like the MFA. The book was compiled by Belinda Rathbone, an historian, biographer and daughter of Perry T. Rathbone.
