Geoffrey O'Brien Sonata for jukebox

pop music, memory, and the imagined life

The advent of recording has changed our relationship to music - it made the past permanent. It also continues to influence us. The global influence of pop music makes true originality all the more rare. O'Brien writes a history of music from the listener's side. He explores the way listeners use music to understand and give cadence to their lives.
