How the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism saved Rock N' Roll

Posted: 3/4/2012 3:38:15 PM

Okay, maybe not. But doesn't that sound like a headline Slate.com would come up with?

When Patrick Carney of The Black Keys applied to the school, they said his photography sucked. Then he went to Akron, dropped out and now makes fantastic rock albums.

You're welcome, America.

Quote:

Carney recalled “nothing but discouragement” as an aspiring photographer, citing feedback from professors before applying to the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University (“They told me my portfolio sucked”) and malaise as an ambivalent undergraduate that lingered until the founding of the Black Keys
