Mr. Griot reviews the key elements to an interview. Then he creates a rough draft paper for the interview he previously conducted with his grandfather. Next, he uses the Proofreading Checklist to edit the paper and create a final draft.

It should come as no surprise to you that I think music theory is great, but shockingly enough, not everyone agrees with me. There are large swaths of the population who view theoretical analysis as pointless at best and insulting at...

Blister In The Sun is one of those songs that doesn't really make sense, not because it's too complicated, but because it almost doesn't feel complicated enough. On the surface it's extremely simple, and that simplicity made it a hard...

The Man Who Sold The World is a haunting song with a haunting legacy. Its story is ambiguous and vague, leaving plenty of room for interpretation. Who is this man, who did he sell the world to, and most importantly, what even is a gazely...

Carry On Wayward Son is one of those songs that's both totally unique and perfectly emblematic of a larger musical movement. There's nothing quite like it, but it still captures the sound of rock music in the mid '70s, and that blend of...

Tiny Dancer is one of Elton John's most iconic songs, but it wasn't always. When it first came out, it barely made an appearance on the charts, and when he played it in concert, he described it "going down like a lead zeppelin". Like...

Seven Nation Army is arguably the most iconic bassline ever recorded. It's been adapted by countless musicians, and it's even become a stadium chant. But how did that happen? How did this humble walk down the minor scale become such a...

Surrealism has been on my mind a lot lately, and that got me thinking about Talking Heads. They're one of those bands that was always doing something weird just to see if they could, and few songs capture that ethos as well as Psycho...
