American composer Philip Glass (1935–) celebrates his 90th birthday on January 31, 2027. And so, tonight on the Best of Studs Terkel, we return to April 1990, and that time Studs spoke with Philip Glass about his operatic music theater piece, “Hydrogen Jukebox.” Also in on that noteworthy conversation was the opera’s librettist, Philip Glass’s friend and collaborator, beat poet Allen Ginsberg (1926–1997).
