Inauguration Day Special
Inauguration Day Special -- The program presents a special Inauguration Day show featuring artist Shepard Fairey, who created the iconic Obama illustration which became the unofficial poster of the campaign. The show also talks with comedian and Daily Show correspondent Wyatt Cenac. His satirical video impression of Barack Obama discussing possible campaign posters was a big hit on YouTube. Finally Terry Gross talks with poet Natasha Trethewey, who won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 2007 for her book "Native Guard." Her white father and black mother married when interracial marriage was still illegal in Mississippi.

That was one of the better interviews I've heard/seen with Shep in the last few weeks...good combination of everything...humour, artistic process, politics...really cool, liked it!

That was great, thanks Mikep

I can't help but wonder if Shepard will be doing any street art in the DC area tonight, and if caught would he get a pass.
