Hey I'm Brian Hyatt and this is Rolling Stone Music Now. So this should be fun.

Rolling Stone recently published a list of the 50 worst decisions in music history.

It's really entertaining and very idiosyncratic list by our own

Andy Green and Andy's going to join me to go over the whole list. I should note that we

recorded before Kagnay West basically declared himself a Nazi this week, which honestly probably

merits a redo of the list with Kaniy West declares himself a Nazi at number one and I think Andy is actually contemplating

that so stay tuned.

But here's my conversation with Andy Green about his take on the worst decisions in music

history.

So Andy, obviously, you could have done the 500 worst decisions in music history because musicians make bad decisions.

It's just what they do. You wanted to do

professional decisions that impacted careers and you also wanted to keep it light. You

didn't put on Astro World, you didn't put on... I was thinking that there's so many dark moments in music

history that been gone over and there's so many awful crimes people have

done or destruction of their own bodies. I didn't want to talk about Gary Glitter. I don't want to talk about

astro world. I didn't want to talk about 14 year old girlfriends. I didn't just want to keep saying that when he tried heroin,

it was a big mistake because he died you know I don't that just didn't seem

Like idea you could have done a list that was just shot up heroin for the first time and that would have been

like a hundred thousand people yeah and so I figure you know like debts I don't want to do like

Raskilde or the Who concert you know there were mistakes made there for sure, but I figured it should be sort of musical like choices or career moves that were just really stupid in hindsight that had consequences, but keeping it relatively light.

And in the intro I note that I didn't want to just get into the dark stuff.

Keep it light.
