If it’s only rock and role [sic] why should we like it? by Hannah McGill: “Can we really trust our rock stars to venture beyond the

boundaries of their job descriptions? Increasingly, they are

getting above themselves. They produce movies. Star in

movies. Write movies. Write novels. Diddle about with stocks

and shares and web-related ventures. Import absinthe. Model

for Calvin Klein. Become priests. Today’s pop star has the

attention span of a cocaine-addled gnat. No wonder it takes

them an average of six years to make an album.” [The Scotsman]
