The Music of Spike Lee



WUNC - The State of Things with Frank Stasio

The Music of Spike Lee

From “Do the Right Thing” to “Get on the Bus,” director Spike Lee’s movies are rife with social and political commentary. So it’s no wonder a college professor would mine the director’s repertoire for class discussion. But this fall, Duke Professor Mark Anthony Neal is looking beyond the scripts. His class, “Spike Lee and the New Black Aesthetic,” will examine the messages in Lee’s work and the impact his films had on black cultural arts. Today, Neal joins host Frank Stasio to give us a course preview and talk about the powerful music in Lee's movies.
