90s Nostalgia: Too Soon?
Wednesday, September 14, 2005
From MC Hammer to Chumbawamba, the 1990s produced some memorable musical moments. But when is it too early to look back? David Kamp, music journalist and co-author of the Rock Snobs Dictionary will help answer that question, and we'll take your calls: are we ready for 90s nostalgia?
And we'll speak with Steve Knopper, music and business reporter for Rolling Stone magazine. He'll be by to help take the pulse of the blues. Blues greats RL Burnside and Clarence Gatemouth Brown have just died, and on Friday the legendary BB King turns 80. Is the delta blues tradition dying out? Who are the younger musicians who are carrying onthe tradition?
Too soon to look back?
We'll take your calls on 90s nostalgia with music jounalist David Kamp.
