What are the biggest mistakes music journalists make today?
They are misinformed or not informed at all. They approach the craft like plumbers and not as reporters or artists. They think people in bands will be their friends, so they write fluffy things about them. God bless Trent Reznor: he never asked me for story approval, and he once wished death on me onstage at a gig in Detroit because of something I once wrote about him. Yet he’ll still talk to me. I’m proud of that.
