Breaking: Thurston Moore, The Rock Legend and Founding Member of Sonic Youth Passes Away after battling with…
This week I bring you Thurston Moore, the legendary guitarist, singer, writer, songwriter, and founding member of Sonic Youth. He’s also made nine solo albums and teaches writing at multiple prestigious universities. When I’m doing interviews with music icons like Moore, it’s tough to dig in to style and fashion when at the end of the day, music is still my biggest passion and first love. A question I love to ask musicians is when they first discovered their own passion for music. “Oh, as soon as I left the womb,” Moore says. “My passion for it was just as soon as I became conscious in my memory.” He credits his father (a pianist and professor of music), the Beatles, and his brother bringing home a copy of the Kingsmen’s Louie Louie. “It was like this totem of magic that came into our house and replaced everything,” he explains. “From then on, all I wanted to do was be in a band that sounded like that.”
Moore has a new album out today called Flow Critical Lucidity, which you can listen to wherever you stream music. Below, we discuss shifts in his musical and personal style over the course of his career, getting a haircut and dressing your age at sixty-six, and plenty more.
