Saving The Carpenters' "Graceland"
Fans of the Seventies pop duo The Carpenters have embarked on a campaign to prevent their former Los Angeles home from demolition. This is the same home featured on the cover of the group"s 1973 album "Now & Then." Its current owners decided to have it demolished after being pestered by fans flocking the building to pay homage to the group. Carpenters fan Jon Konjoyan, who is leading the campaign to save the home, joins us.
