It is the WPRB Fall Silent Drive and to mark the occasion I’ve got a special broadcast for you this Wednesday, October 27th from 5-8 pm ET.
I’ll be airing an extended conversation with professor Evan Rapport about Damaged: Musicality and Race in Early American Punk, the first book-length account of American punk as a musical style with an emphasis on how punk developed in relation to changing ideas of race in American society from the late 1960s to the early 1980s.
