Survival of the Fittest

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Why do some songs survive the test of time while others go the way of the eight-track? We look at "musical Darwinism" with Leon Botstein, president of Bard College and music director of the American Symphony Orchestra, and Warren Zanes of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Also: Football player-turned-operatic bass Morris Robinson talks about his remarkable career path. The 330-pound singer got his start playing offensive guard at The Citadel. Now he's singing in "The Magic Flute" at the Met. He'll perform live and share his predictions for tonight's national championship game, in which top-ranked Ohio State faces off against Florida.
