HK Ham in Rolling Stone Italy
March 8, 2008
I have my first by-line in a foreign-language publication. Today I received in the mail two copies of the March edition of Rolling Stone Italy. Robert Smith is on the cover, and inside the magazine there’s a two-page spread featuring part of the interview I did with Smith in July.
Of course, this being Robert Smith, a Cure fan has already translated the story into English and put it online. It’s amusing to compare the translation to the original.
This was probably the easiest money I’ve ever earned. The magazine’s managing editor found the transcript of my interview while researching Smith and asked if they could translate and re-print it. I said yeah.
And then I said woot.

for some reason the cure always had good vibes with the italian press screw the british and american press and magazines they always get or say things that are false about the cure or make up these fantasies that kids probably would believe i have much respect for the italians and some parts of europe for really being thruthful about our favorite band the cure!!! though i am a noncommercial cure fan and hope to read more of the cure again you guys rock viva italy !
