Inquiry: GARRET KEIZER: The Unwanted Sound of Everything We Want: A Book About Noise

Noise is a political and social issue that affects all of us. Though many of us seek a quieter existence, others declare their ability to make loud noises an all American right. To the bikers at Sturgis’s massive rally, noise is a celebration of their way of life, but for the nearby Native Americans on their sacred land at Bear Butte, that noise is deeply profane. Who is right? Whether it is bikes, ATVs, blasting your radio or even just using leaf blowers, many times the creation of noise is about what we want, but not necessarily what the community needs. How and where do you draw the line?  Tune in tonight for an insightful discussion of noise in our lives when Inquiry speaks with writer, editor and recent Guggenheim Fellow GARRET KEIZER about his wide ranging and thoughtful book THE UNWANTED SOUND OF EVERYTHING WE WANT: A BOOK ABOUT NOISE.
