Rock 'n' Roll Fables

Tuesday, May 29, 2007

In his new collection of essays, "The Boy Who Cried Freebird," music critic Mitch Myers blurs the line between fact and fiction in music criticism. He joins us to talk about crafting fables about the man who first cried "Freebird!" during a lull at a concert and the power of Black Sabbath’s "Paranoid" in unmasking the aliens who live among us.
