Artists Talk About Life and Work
In Other Words collects the most intimate and revealing interviews by Anthony DeCurtis, who, in the
course of a distinguished 25-year career, has earned a reputation for approaching his craft with depth, seriousness and sensitivity.
His many subjects - music legends, movie directors, artistic provocateurs, up-and-coming talents, visionary songwriters -
all speak with rare candor about the meanings within and the motivations behind their best work. Many of these interviews
- which originally appeared in Rolling Stone, The New York Times and other publications - have been significantly expanded.
DeCurtis has also written new introductions that tell the story behind these stories, transforming this collection into an
episodic memoir of a life on the front lines of cultural journalism. These gripping conversations will make readers feel that
they are sitting, as DeCurtis did, at a dinner table or in a quiet room alone, learning everything they want to know about
some of the most revered artists of our time. Looking back on it with John, he was a really great guy. I always idolized him.
We always did, the group. I don't know if the others will tell you that, but he was our idol. He was like our own little Elvis
in the group. - Paul McCartney I've always referred to the Beatles as elevator music, because that's exactly what they were.
