Listen to the soundtrack of Baz Luhrmann’s “Great Gatsby”
NPR First Listen has made the soundtrack of Baz Luhrmann’s glitzy 3-D adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel,”The Great Gatsby” available for streaming via Playlist.For music fans, the soundtrack, which features new music by top artists like Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Gotye and Lana del Rey, arrives with as much anticipation as the movie will open to on May 10. NPR on the jazz-infused rap and pop soundtack:Whether Lurhmann’s film does justice to Fitzgerald’s essential work will become widely evident when the film opens on May 10.

Of course, at any point in our history, the disproportionate policy influence of the wealthy has been a serious problem for our democracy. But in today’s America, two factors intensify this threat: the increased concentration of economic resources, and the increased access those resources have to the political system.There’s yet another piece to this puzzle, however, kind of a riff off the old F. Scott Fitzgerald line about the rich being different from the rest of us (i.e., besides “they’ve got more money”). What are the political preferences of the wealth and how do they differ from those of the rest of us?Continue Reading… … Read More
