New York has magnificent eating available, both in restaurants and in the materials available to home cooks in the many specialty markets.
By now all rock bands are wise enough to be suspicious of music industry scum
Of the people who cook on television, I have admired people like Jacques Pepin, Julia Child, Mario Batali, Jamie Oliver and a few others because they are free of drama, display good taste and masterful technique, and use clear exposition to bring you up to speed.
Clip your year-end column and put it away for 10 years. See if you don’t feel like an idiot when you reread it.
When I'm in a restaurant, I don't eat red meat. It doesn't taste like anything. But if a friend of mine is grilling stuff at his house, its almost always great.
If the label presents them with a contract that the band don't want to sign, all the label has to do is wait. There are a hundred other bands willing to sign the exact same contract, so the label is in a position of strength
It betrays hubris on the part of the artist to think his medium is limiting him, and I think we all recognize this
Almost any decent cook will make food by eye and taste. Virtually all of my family cooked that way.
Make no mistake about it: once a band has signed a letter of intent, they will either eventually sign a contract that suits the label or they will be destroyed
Buy groceries and feed yourself, even on the road
I moved to Chicago in 1980 to go to college
The woman I am currently crazy about was a vegetarian for a year until I started dating her. As is the case with most vegetarians, she had never eaten properly prepared meat, only commercially packaged or otherwise abused flesh.
The band cannot sign to another label or even put out its own material unless they are released from their agreement, which never happens.
My father was an expert hunter, so we ate a lot of wild game when I was growing up in Montana. That helped broaden my palate generally, but I know it informed my distaste for factory farms and unspectacular commercial meat.
