Andy Warhol said, “In the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes”

It took me a little while to think about why I would be world famous for 15 minutes. In the beginning I thought that there were nothing about me that would make me world famous for 15 minutes, but after a while I noticed that I am unique, and I have a list of a few reasons why.

Firstly it would be probably my type of career I have chosen, public relations. It would be the most obvious reason why I would get my 15 minutes of world fame. In this type of career publicity is important.

The second reason that I can think of would probably a coin sequence for me. I’ll probably attend an event, and without noticed it, I will be in the way of the media taking footage for publicity.

The third reason would be the moment when I win the lotto. I am sure I will not bother about the fifteen minutes of fame.

I prefers not to be in the spotlight, but sometimes you can’t always get what you want.

“Rock journalism is people who can’t write interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read”

Rock journalism is journalists that write about metal music. Not the normal classic, jazz music.

“Rock journalism is people who can’t write interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read” I totally disagree with this statement. It is important for the “rock journalists” to know their music.

My opinion is that I think it is harder to be a rock journalist. Firstly the journalist must be fond of rock music. Rock stars is a culture on its own, people must love rock music to understand the culture of rock stars. Rock journalists must be part of this unique culture. They must report to the public about the music and through the articles they explain actually the culture to the public. Most youngsters understand the culture of rock stars. I believe they enjoy articles of rock journalists. The media must cater for the young people as well; why not write about the things they are interested?

Rock journalists, must know the different rock star groups, they must know the different types of instruments they use. In every song, there is a message. Rock stars do have a message in their music, and in my opinion I don’t think a plain journalist would be able to see the message, understand the message and to write about the message in the song.

Rock journalists rock the hell out of the other journalists!
