The Adapt or Die Episode.
Grad school is an 'adapt or die' situation, apparently, and this (adapting) is what we're doing for this episode. The complete interview with Dr. James Carter, from Drew University, failed in download, and as such we're veering away from the usual conference-style of the previous keynote episodes. Listen to a quick introduction to Dr. Carter's paper "Campus Rock: Rock Music Culture on the College Campus during the Counterculture Sixties, 1967-1968." before an abrupt stop, where Kirstin reads some extracts from the paper that details the story of Drew University within the development of Rock Music Culture.
