Mary Lucia talks about 'Rolling Stone: Stories from the Edge'

HBO's "Rolling Stone: Stories from the Edge" chronicles the last 50 years of American music, politics and popular culture through the perspective of a magazine that understood rock 'n' roll was more than music -- it was a cultural force that helped shape America and defined generations.
