Celebrating the release of his new memoir, Siren Song: My Life in Music, the man known as “America’s greatest living record man,” sits down for a conversation with Henry Rollins. Stein’s been involved with music since the 1950s, and his book goes behind the scenes of it all, from CBGBs, to his discovery of Madonna, to the crash of the industry’s old ways of doing business.
