Dean Wareham, author of a new memoir, "Black Postcards: A Rock & Roll Romance," was the frontman of the iconic indie rock bands Galaxie 500 and Luna. He now records with his wife and former Luna bandmate, Britta Phillips, in the group Dean & Britta.
It's an up-close look at how Galaxie 500 achieved a cult following and then fell apart, a backstage pass to his years of living the sex, drugs, and rock & roll lifestyle while on tour with Luna, and a chronicle of vast changes in the music industry over the past two decades. Dean spoke with Word of Mouth host Virginia Prescott about the highs and lows of a career spent in music.
