Bonnie Raitt/Taj Mahal, Evolutionary Medicine, and the most annoying interviewee ever

There were some interesting interviews on Bob Edwards weekend this morning {Sat. Aug 08 show, hour 1 & 2}. The Bonnie Raitt/Taj Mahal interview (they are touring together this summer) was wonderful. Good rapport, interesting, good music. William Meller spoke on evolutionary medicine, bits about mercury in fish and skin cancer were particularly interesting. He also discussed scorpacciata, noting that early people, because they couldn't preserve food, would eat as much fresh food as they could when it was there. Nice. Lastly. An interview that I kept hoping was a joke. A spoiled rich woman talked about her upbringing and life as if she was the most interesting person in the world. Just horrifying narcissism.
