Tufts University alumnus and Washington Post national arts reporter Geoff Edgers returns to campus to talk about his new book “Walk This Way: Run-DMC, Aerosmith and the Song that Changed American Music Forever.” He’ll discuss the revolutionary song that brought rap into mainstream American culture in the 1980s, how to develop your dream writing gig in the post-print age, and turning your passion for music and culture into a reporting beat.
