It began to dawn on me how much a figure like Eddie Trunk makes his living off of the unfolding personal drama of old-time rock acts that sport lingering feuds and reunion rumors. What makes Eddie Trunk particularly strange is the degree to which he comes across as someone who has a personal relationship with some of the actors involved, and he makes these allegiances known. Rather than a journalist, he is firmly in the tank for one side or another, which, in most cases, involves building sympathy for the disenfranchised and portraying the other side as cruel victimizers. Shades of gray disappear and we are invited to wave the flag for one team and boo and hiss the other side. How much of the drama is genuine and how much is pumped up for the sake of generating publicity is hard to tell, and that ambiguity over it all just feeds further discussion.
