While at Brown, I took Marc Perlman’s Music & Modern Culture class, which I found fascinating and extremely illuminating. I was just coming off a two-year world tour when I took Marc’s class. It was the perfect place to process all that I had done and to understand it contextually. It was particularly fascinating to study the concept of capital as it relates to popular music. For the first time, I understood what I had been through in three dimensions. The takeaways from that course still inform my job on a daily basis.
