This is a collection of various interviews that Strauss did with rock stars and celebrities.

It's pretty clear that rock stars and celebrities are not always interesting people. Some of them have nothing to say, some of them really don't give a crap about saying anything, and worst of all are the ones with nothing to say, but intent on saying it.

P.J. Harvey is the most interesting one of the bunch, because she's genuinely not interested in anything but music, and suffers the interview like a commuter subjected to a drunk tourist's questions. Oh, and Trent Reznor has issues.

Other than that, you can skip it. It's not going to tell you anything deep about human nature, and it's not even going to tell anything new about these people.
