Sixty years ago, The Beatles played to screaming throngs on the Ed Sullivan show. Their youthful optimism offered a new blueprint for the future to Boomer kids crowded around their television sets. Since then, Professor Stephen Katz, sociologist and drummer, has gone from playing on a makeshift kit in his parents’ basement to rocking with fantasy bands in well-appointed rehearsal spaces. He talks to host Sally Chivers about how rockstar dreams age even as they never get old.
