Dead Rock Star Interview Writing Contest!
So you’re a big-time music journalist, and as such, you have been blessed with great powers, one of which is the ability to interview dead rock stars. Maybe you’d like to ask Jimi Hendrix if there are any good recording studios in the afterlife. Or inquire as to Kurt Cobain’s latest project with Ian Curtis. Or grill Billy Joel on his choice to record an album of Sinatra covers. (Wait, Billy Joel’s not dead – though a case could be made …)
Anyhoo, Xomba has teamed up with Filter music magazine (Filtermagazine.com) to present our latest writing contest. We’d like you to pick a dead rock star and create a mock interview. Yep, set it up just like a real interview: You ask the questions and make up their answers. Ask anything you like (and answer for them. They won’t mind; they’re dead.) The interview can be serious, humorous, insightful or incendiary. The more inventive, the better.
- Entries must be at least 350 words.
- Deadline for entries is midnight on Monday, Nov. 1.
The winning entry will be featured on Filter’s homepage for a week. If you’re not already a member of Xomba, sign up here and get writing.
