Bob Dylan's Atmosphere Captured In New Basement Tapes: A batch of lyrics that Bob Dylan wrote in the late 1960s were given by Dylan to producer T-Bone Burnett, who came up with the idea to have some contemporary musicians set the words to music.
Jon Stewart On The 'Daily Show': 'I'm Still Really Proud Of The Work We Do': Stewart talks about his future hosting the show known for its political satire. "It is unclear to me," he tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross. "The minute I say I'm not going to do it anymore, I will miss it like crazy.".
