What qualifications does it take to become a music reporter these days?

Just wondering...

...damn...that's some brutal ignorance right there. Honestly you probably can't fault a music "reporter" for not knowing about, say, Treasure Land without being familiar with the genre, but if you're a music reporter in Texas and you haven't heard about ZZ Top, then you just flat out suck at your job, and your "talent" would be better utilized bagging groceries.

...and when you interview the guy, you sure would notice the Texas drawl when mr. Gibbons speak. And it's not like ZZ Top hide their Texas roots, so just a tiny bit of research before going out to do the interview would have made that clear.

No shit. At least the "interview" didn't go on to ask Rev'd Gibbons why the band is called ZZ Top and what that's all about
