The Story of Sonic Youth

Monday, September 01, 2008

"In the beginning, Sonic Youth scared me," is how music critic David Browne opens his new biography of the band, "Goodbye 20th Century." But for the most successful experimental rock band of its time, music was less about fear – and more about fearlessness. We talk with Browne about Sonic Youth’s legacy and resilience – and whether the band is still relevant today.
