Reiner tragically passed alongside his wife this past weekend in Los Angeles. \n\nReiner initially rose to prominence for his acting, most notably in the 1970s as Archie Bunker’s bleeding-heart son-in-law Michael “Meathead” Stivic in All in the Family. But in the 1908s Reiner emerged as a skillful and versatile director to boot, first with his 1984 mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap, and then with a string of other beloved films across myriad genres: from the 1986 coming-of-age film Stand by Me to the 1987 family classic The Princess Bride, the genre-defining 1989 romcom When Harry Met Sally to the 1992 legal drama A Few Good Men.\n\nLike his late father, the comedy writer, actor and director Carl Reiner, the young Reiner was an outspoken political activist and staunch critic of US President Donald Trump; alongside his career in show business he advocated for a variety of progressive causes, including gay marriage, for which he cofounded the marriage equality group American Foundation for Equal Rights in 2009.\n\nhttps://www.thejc.com/news/obituaries/obituary-rob-reiner-azmipfa8", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3592680, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3592680/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-12-18T12:39:16-08:00", "show": 65410, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65410/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "comment": "", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "airbreak" }, { "id": 3592678, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3592678/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-12-18T12:33:12-08:00", "show": 65410, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65410/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Kowalski", "track_id": "33fa1342-188c-3be2-8ee2-6f75b46f2424", "recording_id": "818bb4c3-caf6-4485-b5ce-5f595169bd3e", "artist": "Primal Scream", "artist_ids": [ "55704c38-224f-4b75-b29f-d43653f8bc9a" ], "album": "Vanishing Point", "release_id": "0027e488-b435-4094-96e8-95aa3a4507ac", "release_group_id": "ed585ebf-919f-3a78-a985-c261f67b0aa4", "labels": [ "Reprise Records" ], "label_ids": [ "af6d6f49-2b4d-40fe-86d4-241906772b59" ], "release_date": "1997-07-01", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Following the initial breakup of The Stone Roses in 1996, he joined the Scottish rock band Primal Scream as their full-time bassist. \nHe claimed that Primal Scream were one of three other bands that he would be willing to join; the Jesus and Mary Chain and Oasis being the others.\n\n\"Kowalski\" was co-written by Mani.
