"Noel Gallagher famously sang that listeners of Oasis should not put their life in the hands of a rock'n'roll band. I fundamentally disagree. Everything good in my life has been recommended to me by my musical heroes. My moral compass has been set almost entirely by pop stars. No teacher, no institution, no writer (OK, maybe some writers, actually) has had the same impact upon me as rock stars. Who forged your direction in life? Your parents? School? Your peers? Maybe it was a religious calling, or even a political party. If so, it's not too late to rethink your choice and invest in musicians instead."
Ted Kessler at The Guardian introduces his book The Ten Commandments: The Rock Star's Guide to Life.
