As you no doubt learned long ago, feature stories on your favorite pop stars often reveal next to nothing. Politicianstyle, most of these so-called artists have devised a standard canned rap that enables ’em to deflect even slightly probing questions. And if they haven’t, who’s to say these clowns will tell the truth anyway? Rock being founded on images, illusions, and the like, there’s precious little incentive for candor.
Well, so what? Stonewalling and evasiveness needn’t be obstacles to gaining a deeper appreciation of your idols. How’s that again, you ask? Allow moi to explain a simple technique. Next time you’re slogging through a bog of printed hogwash, rise above the mire. That is, make up your own answers! Put words in the star’s mouth! Your own responses may well be a darn sight more entertaining than the real ones.
