if we think about the geniuses in the arts that have been interviewed...
and all of the things we could have learned from them,

it's pretty fucking sad how many of the questions entertainment reporters
are completely asinine.

John Mayer is a genius guitar player
and a damn good song writer.

he get interviewed and ppl ask who he's dating.

Oprah Winfrey asked Michael Jackson if he was a virgin.

i mean... you get to sit down with a genius,
and THESE are your questions?

when they do ask about the actual art,
they never do research.

They ask superficial questions that have been answered before on previous interviews.
they never go deeper.
"what's your favorite song?"
"what inspires you to make music?"
"do you write the music first or the lyrics?"



is that really what the ppl want to know?

is that the best question you have when in the presence of greatness?

did you think about these questions for longer than 5 min before the interview?




there are geniuses now dead that may have had insights that we'll now never know.
it's a shame.
