As Frank Zappa once said: "Rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, in order to provide articles for people who can't read."

What a silly thing to say.

Hardly.

He should have just had done with it and said 'Rock journalism is for daft ganties'. It's what he basically meant.

Yeh. Because people that read it, must be able to read it if they understand.

Eh?

He was probably too busy trimming his 'tache to come up with something as concise as what I said.

Well if you can read, you can read, so i dont know why hes said its for people who cant read.

I think he was just a little bit more insightful than you.

Not literally...

And would he not have been interviewed to get that quote? So therefore he is a person who cannot talk...and then well that quote just makes him look like a fucking wanker, hes just lowered himself alot lol.

also they dont really teach music journalism, cause you cant teach it--they will teach general rules, laws etc nd then get people in from other mags nd help get work placements in your choosen sector id imagine

So you go and study music journalism for three years and then what?

Are you just bitter because he might get a bit of paper that says he's more qualified to be a Music Journalist than you?

Not at all. I've got enough qualifications already.
