I wanted to be Kafka. I wanted to write the great American novel and change humanity. Yeah, right. I sort of stumbled into writing about music. For years, I couldn't understand how you can intellectualize about an art fonn that affected you on the visceral level. In the late '80s. I was asked to write a piece about that Artist Formerly Known As Prince for Boston Rock magazine and I realized deconstructing music was as inspiring as analyzing Melville. Arui I never turned back. So now, I write about the pop music scene and try to make it accessible to a general audience so my readers get a better understanding of what is new and vital. In the era of thumbs-up, thumbs-down criticism. we have gotten away from writing about the 'why.' Readers need to know not only whether a CD or a concert is good or bad. They need to understand why some CD shakes your boots and in Boston, the best city for rock music in the country, there's always something that is dynamic and inspiring. I try to give you a deeper appreciation of rock, jazz, hip-hop and everything in between. · PenonalitJ on every page - year of achievement, frustration in Allston-Brighton 111-. strike back against graffiti Graffiti artists became public enemy I II number one in many corners of Allston-Brighton this year.
