JOURNAL #8

The writer wants to know what causes some of the people that are involved in the rock and roll industry to inflict pain on themselves. The author uses various books about a number of different musicians and rock and roll itself. Many people attempt to establish their identity by trying to create or start new trends. They want to be remembered as the first or the originator or something. They may even try to put a different “spin” on something that already exists. This may pertain to fashion, music, athletics, academics or anything else that may attract spectators.
