According to the urban dictionary; “rock journalism is the act of
meeting with punk musicians to interview them for a zine before a concert,
rocks out and head bang during the concert, parties with the musicians after
the show, then retiring to a quiet room to write a review and write down the
interview transcript word-for-word; one who suffers the worst case of rock hangover
than anyone else in the scene”. Anyone who
practices this is called a rock journalist.
Therefore, if rock journalism is people who can’t write, it means that
they can express themselves by asking questions verbally without any written
word, being that they cannot write, they can meet their client or rock
musicians on a face-to-face basis while someone either writes or records the
interview in order to get their questions answered.
On the other hand, interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t
read is of no use, because; people who can’t talk cannot reply any of your
interview questions. Moreover, it can
only work if; the people who can’t talk can read and write, while people who
can’t read can talk, otherwise, this whole quote by Frank Zappa makes no sense
to me at all.
