Booze: Music's Friend or Foe?
Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
In another edition of Soundcheck Smackdown, we debate the role of alcohol in live music. Some venues are allowing audience members to bring glasses of wine into once-dry concert halls. But Van Morrison has banned alcohol consumption from his concerts in England. Joining us to weigh in is Limor Tomer, WNYC's executive producer of music programming, and Will Layman, a jazz critic who writes for Popmatters.com and NPR.
