Music GroupsThe Life Of A Pop Chick
The Guardian's Observer Music Monthly has an insightful and humorous article by Miranda Sawyer titled "My Life As A Pop Chick." She writes of her career as a pop writer--a female pop writer--and recounts the good interviews (New Order, Bjork) and the bad ones (Jon Bon Jovi). She also explains why men make better rock journalists and women better pop writers ("There's a fact-collecting aspect to the male psyche that is never happier than when listing the B-sides of The Byrds' five UK top 40 hits, in chronological order"). How very true.
