“It came from my mother. She was a singer, and literally every day of the week she sang at a different club in a different genre of music: country, R&B clubs, jazz clubs, church on Sunday morning where she was the music director, pop hits, soft rock.

“I listen to a lot of different kinds of music and rather than just doing one thing when I make an album, the challenge to myself is to write all these diverse tracks, but to make them work. It's like a jigsaw because if you've got a lyrical track going into a hard rock track... it's got to work. You've got to write things that will work together.” IfsWritingKindDifferentHardTogetherChallengesOne ThingRocksTrackAlbumsWorking TogetherWorking ItDifferent KindsDiverseLyricalHard RockJigsawDifferent Kinds Of Music Author:Jack Bruce
“I guess it really didn't even dawn on me that you could be a rock critic as a job until I was maybe almost out of college. I knew criticism existed. I read Rolling Stone and Spin. Siskel and Ebert were on television. But I had absolutely no idea how to get that kind of life. And moreover, it didn't interest me that much. I just sort of read normal books growing up. I wasn't that media-conscious. I felt like the one thing I was able to do was to listen to a record and decide whether I liked it.” KindBookIdeasAbleJobsFeltInterestGrowing UpRecordsGrowingOne ThingRocksMediaTelevisionCollegeNormalConsciousStonesCriticismCriticsNo IdeaDawnRollingRolling Stones Author:Chuck Klosterman

“One thing about Kurt [Cobain] is before he was a musician, and before he was a rock star, he was an artist, and an artist with a capital A. What that means is that he had to create.

“If there's one thing that differentiates me from the rest of my family it's the rock element. I hung out with friends who like punk rock a lot.
