If you don’t know the drill by now, that’s no reason not to learn it quickly and take part in our occasional “gut check” on some of rock’s hardest-hitting-yet-rarely-asked questions! Don’t take too much time on the following questions, but answer candidly and in as much depth as you feel necessary. There are no wrong answers, but “right” answers have been known to crop up.
Has the disparity between craftsmanship and content ever been so great as that in Queen‘s “Bohemian Rhapsody?” (That is, “What a waste of time that song is, but boy do I admire the work that went into it!”)
Has anyone in rock had a more elegant approach to baldness over the course of his career than Brian Eno?
Beside Jefferson Starship, what’s the most recent example of music you never cared for that you’ve now begun to appreciate?
Beside Queen, if applicable, is there an artist whose music you don’t like yet whose album productions you do like a lot?
If Sting characterizes the e-mail compliment of an NPR listener as “nourishing,” what does the guy shit?
I look forward to your responses.
