Popping Culture: Liberace speaks from beyond the grave

PBS’s Blank on Blank is a charming series of animated vignettes inspired by previously unheard interviews with celebrities talking on a range of topics. Some of the best in the series include Kurt Cobain on why he identified with gays, and Janis Joplin on rejection.
