Taylor Swift's place in the history of popular music

I have begun writing for Current, a small magazine of commentary and opinion. My first piece went live this week. Please have a look.

Also: for anyone who may be interested, here’s a ten-minute radio interview I did a couple days ago about my new book.

And: here’s my take on Taylor Swift’s latest album Midnights, which I wrote about almost exactly one year ago (11/18).

Next week, I’ll resume my series on the role of love in American life. Happy Thanksgiving! —Jim
