Dear Jaan,
I’m trying to break into a career in music journalism, and of course I know your famous line: “Rock stars are not my friends.” But I’m not buying it. You’ve been in that world for decades, surely you’ve hit it off with someone, right? How do you straddle that line if there’s a real connection between you and someone you’re writing about?
Sincerely,
Nosy in Newark

Dear Nosy,
It’s not that I don’t like artists.
