Warren Buffett will play ukulele as the economy burns

From our buddy Geoff Boucher, blogging at the new LA Times blog, Culture Monster...

Buffett_2 Warren Buffett, the world’s richest man according to Forbes magazine, will appear Friday night at the Paley Center for Media in Los Angeles where he will play his ukulele. Seriously.

The 78-year-old chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway will bring his beloved four-string Uke and join his son, musician Peter Buffett, on stage for a number during the younger Buffett’s scheduled concert at the broadcasting archive, museum and seminar hub. The younger Buffett has just released a new album, “Imaginary Kingdom,” on Tuesday, and his recording career reaches back to mid-1980s. He scored the memorable “fire dance” sequence in “Dances With Wolves,” which won the Oscar for best picture of 1990, and Buffett himself won an Emmy for the soundtrack he contributed to another Native American project involving Kevin Costner, the “500 Nations” documentary miniseries from 1995.
