Publisher's Summary

Singer and musician David Johansen and media anaylist Douglas Rushkoff on this edition of Fresh Air. David Johansen was the lead singer for the 70's pre-punk punk rock band New York Dolls. Later he performed as Buster Poindexter, a pompadour tuxedo wearing lounge lizard swing bandleader of the band "Banshees in Blue.' Now he has a new roots-music band and a new album of straight blues, "David Johansen and the Harry Smiths." Teenagers are the hottest consumer demographic in America. Media analyst Douglas Rushkoff examines the multi-billion dollar marketing industry aimed at teenagers in the new Frontline documentary The Merchants of Cool. Rushkoff is also the author of Coercion: Why We Listen to What 'They' Say about how our everyday decisions are influenced by marketers, politicians, religious leaders, and other forces.
