From AOL's The Boombox: Anthony DeCurtis: Music Journalist Talks Clive Davis and 'Soundtrack of My Life' —
Great interview with my co-author Anthony DeCurtis: Music Journalist Talks ‘Soundtrack of My Life’ via The BoomBox/AOL
by Ryan Shea
Journalists are usually the ones asking the questions, but legendary scribe Anthony DeCurtis has done enough in his 25-plus-years covering music that he can have the tables turned on him every once in a while.
Because if there’s an artist you can think of — especially in rock, but also hip-hop and R&B — chances are the New York native has been involved in covering them.
Recently, between splitting time teaching at the University of Pennsylvania and continuing to write for publications like Rolling Stone, he’s made appearances on stage interviewing rappers like Nas, and seen the release of Clive Davis’ memoir The Soundtrack of My Life, which he helped write.
We recently caught up with DeCurtis in-person and picked his brain about music journalism, not being star-struck around Jay-Z, what it was like covering The Notorious B.I.G. and those pesky Kelly Clarkson comments that just won’t go away. Read on.
