Steve Almond, New York Times best-selling author presents "Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life," a musical extravaganza in celebration of his new book about obsessive fandom. The evening will include literary explorations of classic hits by Styx, Toto, and other bands you are now ashamed to admit you once loved, along with other selections from the book, which Publishers Weekly calls "a hilarious riff on the power of music." The show closes with a live set by the utterly rocking Boris McCutcheon & The Salt Licks. This lecture was presented by the Harvard Book Store and recorded on 4/16/10.
