“Rock journalism is people who can’t write interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read” (Frank Zappa) – Comment






I know nothing about rock except the fact that people who sing rock music don’t have self respect of their bodies. I don’t read much about rock journalism, I have no real interest in it. I do see their nude pictures and scandals in the magazines or their videos.  Today we are so exposed, that nothing shocks us, and we know most of the juicy scoop before it happens. They have “dirty” looks and barbaric performances
Some or most rockers drink and smoke and do drugs and use foul language, as much as other musicians such RnB, Kwaito stars drink as smoke but they are better than the rock musicians. Rock music is different to other music and thus Rock star interviews should be different to normal, sophisticated interviews as well. Rock star audiences will understand Rock star journalists. Music has its own language and each type of music speaks or appeals to a targeted group.
