Interview

Interviews can tend to be very frustrating for most people. Some interviews are filled with hesitation and discontent simply because of the awkwardness of the situation. However, when I interview someone, I always make my greatest attempt in making the other person feel as comfortable as possible to ease the process. I plan on doing two interviews to get a broader range of data. My first interview was completed the other day with my roommate Charlie Fuller. I asked if I could interview him because he is not very knowledgeable about rock music; he mainly listens to rap. I figured that if I got the perspective of someone less intelligent of the topic, it would give me a grasp on how the "common public" viewed things. I first asked him the main question "Why do you thing major popular rock bands break up?" He stated that he believed that rock bands were too greedy with their money. Charlie thought that rock bands are simply concerned about money at all times. Then as I mentioned The Beatles, his argument began to become altered. He then restated that bands could also break up because of disagreements within the band including what type of direction to take their music, and even just not liking each other. Mr. Fuller's main suggestion is that drugs played a crucial role in altering their state of minds in order to make them act out like this. My conclusion from my interview with him was typical. I figure that most people view rock stars as druggies with no real goals. They think of them as party animals that are destined to destroy things. However, if they were to take a closer look behind the stage curtain, they would notice that things aren't how they seem. Rock stars face everyday issues just like us. Sometimes they learn to cope, other times it is too difficult for them.
