Almost Famous

Steve Morse covered rock music for the Boston Globe for three decades, retiring from full-time duty just last year. In yesterday's Boston Globe Magazine Morse reminisces. Even if he seems a little bit too caught up in a fairly narrowly conceived world of classic rock, it is hard to deny that he had an unassailably cool job. He estimates attending about 250 rock shows a year during his tenure as a rock critic. That, my friends, is a pretty sweet gig.
