Okay so you republish an article about Matisyahi? Did you actually write this article? And if so, ya see if I had the chance to interview someone of his current stature I would probably put more than 5 freaking sentences of quotes in there.
This article left me feeling as if you didn’t even meet with him but parced together some quotes possibly through e-mail correspondence or previous interviews with other journalistic sources. Either way “The Jewschool Interview” is hardly an apropos name for “Matisyahu’s New Bio.”

ian, try asking matisyahu a question he hasn’t answered a thousand times in a thousand different sources. try offering a unique and fresh perspective to a story that’s been hammered to death. if you can do better, by all means, go right ahead. this was a profile piece on assignment from a major nyc periodical which loved the story. i’m sorry you didn’t feel the same.
if you’d like hear the audio of the interview, i plan to release some of it on our new podcast next month.
in the mean time, shabbat shalom. bitch.
