So You Want to Be a Rock Star...
You have come to the right place, assuming the rock star you had in mind was Colin Greenwood, bass player for Radiohead. This easy peasy, ten-step guide will show the ropes on how to become just like Colin.
Our hero, Colin Greenwood, of Radiohead
Here you will find myriad quotes and anecdotes pulled from dozens of interviews over the years illustrating Colin’s interests, hobbies, favorite books and music and more. Literally hundreds of photos of Colin, alone or with the band, are archived in the companion Colin Greenwood Flickr sets.
The articles used in researching this site can be found elsewhere on the web, but the Colin Greenwood Interviews Galore sister site is the only place where interviews featuring Colin can be found in all in one place — no more Googling in vain for your Colin quote fix. This will be added to weekly, more or less, until I run out of interviews to post, or until Colin stops talking to journalists.
In addition, at the end of each section, there are Resources for the Colin Wanna-Be, links to other sites where you might find additional information on the subject at hand. Learn to speak French, bake, make a Cosmopolitan (and cure your subsequent hangover), be courteous when travelling in any country, plant an English garden, expand your vocabulary, or simply learn to play a few Radiohead songs on bass while you visit, you know, you know, you know.
