Roger Scruton: The Tyranny of Pop

Published: Nov. 13, 2015, 9 p.m.

Roger Scruton deplores the tyranny of banal and ubiquitous pop music. Young people, above all, need help to appreciate instead the great music of our civilisation. "Unless we teach children to judge, to discriminate, to recognize the difference between music of lasting value and mere ephemera, we give up on the task of education." Producer: Sheila Cook.
