Chuck Eddy

As someone who writes opinions about people for a living, I feel a natural kinship with Chuck Eddy. A Detroit-born music journalist, critic and editor, he spent a career translating sound into words during rock's most combustible decades. Criticism is a thankless trade where being disliked comes with the territory, yet a writer who states clear preferences is one you can actually trust. Eddy belongs to that fearless, idiosyncratic school of music writing that valued the argument over the consensus. I respect anyone willing to put their taste on the line in print, and he clearly did exactly that.
