Interview Liars
-
Artist:
Hey everyone, let's name some notable rock folks who almost certainly tell lies frequently when being interviewed. Steely Dan have long mastered the art of turning Q&As into their own personal Marx Brothers routines. I am convinced that Paul Westerberg routinely changes his answers to questions about The Replacements, possibly out of boredom. I bet both PW and the Dan learned their craft by studying Bob Dylan interviews.
Also, who should start lying more when being interviewed? Rollins, yes. The Boss, sure. Paul McCartney, definitely.
(I'll admit that my interest in this topic is partially due to disenfranchisement with the whole interviewing thing, the idea that you can get an even minor rock star to provide a "teachable moment" by revealing something about themselves and their art. It's not so much that it's impossible, but do people care anymore? Maybe some rockers may reveal more of themselves when they're covering up their tracks.)
