How to interview a rock star and not die in the attempt offers multiple harassment to some of the leading figures of the 20th century. The author gets into a car to chase Paul McCartney's convoy through the streets of Buenos Aires to engage in a "conversation" by car to car; he approaches a plane where he approaches Jon Bon Jovi and achieves a strange moment of sincerity (the star removes his dark glasses); he meets the sophisticated Bowie and his yellow teeth in a Brazilian dressing room that looks more like a dumpster; receives the order of Johnny Rotten to buy cigars; he speaks for long distance with Bono, the communication is cut off and the U2 singer calls him back; face the Bee Gees one by one and discover that no one wants to talk about the other and everyone hates the word that unites them (brothers); receives the expected reprimand from Lou Reed and submits to his interrogation. The musical scene resembles a fighter plane where turbulence is great news, the signal that the ship has not yet been knocked down. This book has a black box value, the unusual deposit where the last words are recorded before everything is an accident and scream and fire and explosion.
