"Rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read"-Frank Zappa

Is Frank Zappa, singer, song writer and musician criticizing rock music? Music journalism is a form of criticism and reportage about music. Music journalism otherwise known as music criticism comprises of the study, discussion, evaluation and interpretation of music and its performance.

By saying this quote was Frank Zappa criticizing rock music by saying that rock journalism consists of people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read?

Was this Frank's inappropriate way of criticizing rock music? It is definitely an interesting way of looking at something! It is quite strange that he would criticize rock music as he wrote and sang rock music during his career.

Or on the other hand was he trying to say that the music needed to be detailed so that it leaves nothing up to the imagination and everyone full understands to style???

This is a very difficult quote to comment on!
