Rolling Stone's senior critic, contributor to NPR's "All Things Considered," and a former writer for City Pages, Will Hermes is back in town promoting his new book, Love Goes to Buildings on Fire: Five Years in New York City That Changed Music Forever. Hermes explores the musical explosion of the 1970s in the nation's cultural capital and examines the influence of musicians like Arthur Russell, Blondie, The Ramones and Bob Dylan.


Join Jill Riley on The Morning Show tomorrow at 7:30 as she talks with him about the new release and his appearance at the Minneapolis Central Library later that night. More information on the event can be found here. Later on during the Morning Show, the 9:30 coffee break will spotlight '70s New York music in honor of Will's book!
