Sparrow, the man who thinks the Beatles ruined rock `n’ roll

In a very special Chronogram Conversations, author, poet, cultural critic, and wizenheimer Sparrow joins Chronogram editor Brian K. Mahoney for a wide-ranging discussion of art, middlebrow culture, and the difference between works of art and works of primal juvenile agitation. Plus, hear Sparrow’s impression of Gertrude Stein and Brian Mahoney’s imitation of T. S. Eliot reading “The Waste Land.”

  1. Does Sparrow really feel the world is not somehow a richer place because of the Beatles later work?
    They didn’t kill rock and roll-it’s still alive and well and there to enjoy anytime.
