Them Is Rockin' Words: When Musicians Become Writers
ResumeThis weekend, the Boston Book Festival crowns its schedule of readings and discussions with "The Book Revue," a multimedia event featuring musicians, authors, musicians who are also authors, and maybe even authors who'll admit they want to be rock stars.
What's the overlap and what makes this music-literary collaboration electric? We talk to two music aficionados about the written word and the power of setting it all to music.
Guests:
- Steve Almond, journalist, author of "Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life"
- Joe Pernice, musician, author of "It Feels So Good When I Stop"
