SAY WHAT? ROCK JOURNALISM!


Frank Zappa was a composer, film director, electric guitarist and record producer who wrote rock, jazz and orchestral music. Around this time it was difficult to categorize his music in a specific genre. So, Frank Zappy was a rock star, he didn't believe in education, he was a true believer of Freedom of Speech.

The quote "Rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read", is this what he was actually trying to say that rock stars are not interested in what media says about them. It is the music that speaks volumes to the people that understand the message of Rock music.

 I am not sure that this kind of thinking would be attributed to all kinds of professions. To say that a doctor would not be interested in rock would be placing me in a difficult position. Today people are diverse in their skills.


So do I agree with Frank, absolutely not? As a PR practitioner I meet people in education, with a passion for beauty or a mechanic with a love for arts.
