James "Jim" DeRogatis (born September 2, 1964) is an American music critic and co-host of ''Sound Opinions''. DeRogatis has written articles for magazines such as ''Spin'', ''Guitar World'' and ''Modern Drummer'', and for fifteen years was the pop music critic for the ''Chicago Sun-Times''. He joined Columbia College Chicago's English Department as a lecturer in the fall of 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LAS Dean's Lecture )〕 ==Career== In 1982, while a senior at Hudson Catholic Regional High School in Jersey City, New Jersey, DeRogatis along with photographer Ray Zoltowski conducted one of the last interviews with rock critic Lester Bangs, two weeks before Bangs' death of a drug overdose. Over a decade later, this encounter would serve as the beginning and inspiration for DeRogatis's Lester Bangs biography ''Let it Blurt''.〔 DeRogatis first joined the ''Chicago Sun-Times'' in 1992; he left in 1995 to join ''Rolling Stone'' magazine, a job that lasted eight months, and was back at the ''Sun-Times'' in three years.〔 〕 While at ''Rolling Stone'' magazine, he was fired after writing a negative review of Hootie & the Blowfish's album ''Fairweather Johnson''. The review irked ''Rolling Stone'' publisher Jann Wenner who had it pulled from publication. DeRogatis's employment with the magazine was terminated after he revealed this incident to the public. DeRogatis hosts ''Sound Opinions'' with fellow music critic Greg Kot. The radio talk show is heard on Chicago Public Radio and nationally syndicated by American Public Media and is available as a podcast. The program is one of the longest running talk radio shows focusing exclusively on rock music with stints on both Chicago's WXRT and an early incarnation on Q101 featuring Bill Wyman from the Chicago Reader in place of Greg Kot. The move to Chicago Public Radio took place on December 3, 2005. DeRogatis plays drums in the indie rock band Vortis. He previously played in the bands the Ex-Lion Tamers (Wire cover band), Airlines and Speed the Plough. Vortis has released two albums and a third is due to be released soon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jim DeRogatis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
