Good Info

2005-11-02T10:20:00.000-08:00

I am starting to pull up some useful sites. I had truble when I first started, but now it's starting to come together. I found the website about Andy Greenwald very helpful. He had exactly what I was looking for when I was trying to find a forum with people who asked him questions about his job. He also seemed experienced, and he knew what he was talking about.

Citation 5: 1968 interview with The Who

2005-11-01T07:40:00.000-08:00

Wenner, Jann. "1968 Rolling Stone Interview (by Jann Wenner)." Pete Townsend and The Who. 1968. 01 Nov. 2005 .

"Was it inevitable that you were going to start smashing guitars?"
"When did you start smashing guitars?"
"Were you happy about it?"

Jann Wenner seemed like she didn't have a lot of questions prepared. This made it seem more like they were actually having a natural conversation. It sounded like she just had one question and went with it.

Primary and Secondary Sources

2005-11-01T07:22:00.000-08:00

For my primary source, I will use an interview with a real person who has a career in journalism. For my secondary source, I will go to a website that has forums and online interviews with a real journalist. I think that the only difference between the two, is that the interview with a real person will be harder to find and schedule.

"major: journalism." college board. 26 Oct. 2005 .

"With this degree, you could find yourself covering world events for a major newspaper or TV network, reporting on sports for a local radio station, or writing about entertainment on the Internet."

These are just a few fields.

Greenwald, Andy. "Ask Andy a question.." Online posting. . General Discussions. 26 Oct 2005. .

"If you want to be a writer, that means you need to WRITE. It may seem obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people overlook that little fact. Write as much as possible..."

It sounds right

Greenwald, Andy. "Ask Andy a question.." Online posting. . General Discussions. 26 Oct 2005. .

"I'm a strong believer in learning by doing -- and journalism is a great field to do just that."

I liked this quote, because it seemed like he really knew what he was talking about.

ling, dave. "backstage heros." getreadytorock.com. 2003. 24 Oct. 2005 <>.

"when I was younger I would sit and marvel at each new album from Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, The Sweet, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Genesis and Status Quo - where was this music coming from?"

I think that this guy sounded pretty cool.

Why Mayo?

2005-10-24T08:06:00.000-07:00

I don't even like mayonnaise. I'm not sure why I named it that. I am also sorry for spelling mayo incorrectly up to this point. That's a hard word to spell.

Woo Hoo! mayonaise.
