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

What would the world be without critics? They are supposed to be both objective and subjective in their writing. But who are we kidding there is bias in every aspect of life, especially in the world that we live in today. And if you ask me being bias can be difficult especially when you are asked to crit a restaurant or in this case band that you actually like. What happens then?

So Frank Zappa says that Rock Journalism is people who can’t write, interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read. Can someone say irritated. This is obviously the words of an irritated musician who has been criticised one too many times. What more can be said about this statement?

Honestly being a critic must require great skill because before you can write about the topic you are first required to do some research if you don’t know much about it. And can you imagine having to sit through or listen to something you don’t like. No wonder critics are so harsh.
