Prohibition: Bad for Booze, Good for Music.

From Boardwalk Empire on our television screens, to speakeasy-style bars on every other corner, Prohibition is all the rage. Not the actual prohibition of liquor, of course, but that period of time between 1920 and 1933 when alcohol was illegal, and yet it flowed with a reckless abandon. Bestselling author and former New York Times public editor Daniel Okrent has captured this moment in his recent book, Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition. He joins us to paint a portrait of a time when the country may have been dry, but the music and culture was - and still is - intoxicating.
