Forever Young, Musically Speaking

Soundcheck | Jun 1, 2011

Bob Dylan just celebrated his 70th birthday. But his musical tastes may be…forever young.

Plus: we talk with Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan about a new remix album spanning the band’s 30 year career.

Listeners: What music did you listen to at age 14? And how did it shape you? Are you a 14 year old who can tell us about the music that you’re listening to and why? Leave a comment here.
