| Abstract | Influential performers in the rock music world are often interviewed, but all one generally sees of what they say is a condensed account brutally chopped to fit a window of a page and a half in a magazine - or, more commonly, a few punchy quotes excerpted out of context to spice up a feature story. Too often the real substance of the musician's thoughts and words is lost. Presented here are the full texts of interviews with 40 of today's most important performers and songwriters who represent the full spectrum of rock music. Interviews include Paul McCartney, John Wesley Harding, Roger Daltrey, Chris Whitley, members of Genesis, the Black Crowes, DNA, Roxette, the Chieftains, and Hothouse Flowers and many others. |
