A Speaker’s Guide to Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll | Steve Kleinedler | TEDxPhoenixville

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Steve Kleinedler investigates “sex” “drugs” and “rock and roll” as individual words and as a phrase. He examines how the counterculture and authority interact, both in terms of social implications and how words are defined and used.

Steve Kleinedler is executive editor of the reference group at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, publishers of American Heritage Dictionary and Webster’s New World reference works. He joined the editorial staff of the American Heritage Dictionary in 1997 and worked as a freelance editor for several reference titles for National Textbook Company between 1989 and 1997.
