David Janssen, Edward Whitelock, and Josh Hunter discuss their books that link death and the musical genre that's still going strong- Rock 'n Roll. Janssen and Whitelock's book, Apocalypse Jukebox, leaps from David Koresh and Charles Manson through the music of Coltrane, Dylan and Leonard Cohen. Hunter's book, The 27s, sheds light on the coincidence of the deaths of several rock stars near their 27th birthdays. This event was hosted by Decatur CD.
