“Rock journalism is people who can’t write interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read” (Frank Zappa) 23

Frank Zappa was a man that was not believes in education, he was doing his rock music, he enjoyed playing rock. He said “is actually a true reflection, honest opinion of a Rock star that understands that a Rock star is not really interested in anything else than making Rock Music.”

 

Frank Zappa said it clear, that the rock star are not interested on answering any questions, if the the journalist asking question they don’t answer. He believes that the jazz is not dead, it still rocking. He believes that tobacco is a vegetable for him they he enjoyed smoking.

“Most rock journalism is people who can’t write interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read,” he says. That doesn’t leave much room to like him personally and he makes it obvious he doesn’t like you much either, whoever you are. This citation is the earliest known, and it comes from the research files of Fred R. Shapiro editor of the Yale Book of Quotations and a top expert in this area. Here are additional selected citations in chronological order.
In 1932 the legendary comedian Will Rogers published a humorous article that discussed authors who wrote for the movies. He made a comment that was thematically linked to Zappa’s later observation.

“The successful author is the one who can write for the ones who can’t read.”


Zappa was not taking a yes as an answer, he was always having something to say, and he was always against the journalist.
