Notă biografică
So what do you wanna know? When I was a kid, rock 'n' roll and literature made life worth living. Or rather, it was literature that rocked my world-"Treasure Island," "Crime and Punishment," the Hardy Boys books, the Oz books, all those sexy 007 novels-until I turned 12, and then rock 'n' roll-The Beatles, the Stones, Dylan, The Yardbirds-blew my mind. Well girls trumped both, but that's another story. I started writing stories in sixth grade and by high school I was certain that writing was my vocation. And I did have one of those "Almost Famous" moments, writing Creem editor Lester Bangs and getting an encouraging letter back asking me to send him some record reviews (which he didn't use). Fast-forward to 1975, and I was in the thick of the punk scene, interviewing Patti Smith and The Ramones and the Talking Heads for stories that ran in the Berkeley Barb and the San Francisco Bay Guardian. I had some close calls. The Clash nearly threw me out of a San Francisco recording studio, the Sex Pistols tried to break my tape recorder, and Frank Zappa said if I was one of his fans he was in big trouble. The life of a rock journalist. Things did work out, and I spent 10 crazy years talking to everyone from George Harrison and George Clinton to Brian Wilson and Stevie Wonder for Rolling Stone where I was an Associate Editor and a Senior Writer. My writing has also appeared in Wired, Esquire, Vibe, Details, Downbeat, NME and many more. In 1994 I'd founded Addicted To Noise (ATN), the highly influential music web site. Newsweek magazine called me an "Internet visionary." I joined forces with SonicNet in 1997. I was a senior vice-president and editor in chief at SonicNet from March 1997 through May 2000. In 1997, Addicted To Noise won a Webby award for best music site, and a Yahoo Internet Life! award. While I was at SonicNet the site won Webby awards for best music site in 1998 and 1999, and Yahoo Internet Life! awards for three years running as best music site in 1998, 1999 and 2000. You can expect the third book of the Freak Scene Dream Trilogy, "The Moon & The Stars," to be available by August 2016. I write a monthly music column, The Drama You've Been Craving, for the Australian version of Addicted To Noise. And I publish the video-and-audio-intense culture blog, Days of the Crazy-Wild at www.daysofthecrazy-wild.com. Any other questions?
