Super Sonic

In his book "Goodbye 20th Century," author David Browne tells the story of the band Sonic Youth. He shows how the group has brought "fringe" art to the mainstream, influencing experimental music, conceptual art, contemporary classical music and even fashion. He joins us to examine their legacy and resilience. Also: veteran producer and musician T Bone Burnett has put his stamp on countless albums including the soundtrack for the film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" and his own new CD, "Tooth of Crime." But he's not happy about the way sound quality has been sacrificed in the digital revolution. He joins us to talk about embracing sound formats that are superior to both MP3s and CDs.
