Soundcheck | May 3, 2010

He knocked The Beatles from the pop charts, wrote himself the finest jazz autobiography ever and did sophisticated collages. But he was also a womanizer, a pot smoker, explosive and introspective. Wall Street Journal drama critic Terry Teachout joins us to talk about the man and his music, the subject of his new book Pops.
