It turns out my longer article about Trent Reznor is also up on the Rolling Stone website now. During the interview, Reznor briefly had to excuse himself with a bloody nose. “Are you sure you’re clean?” I teased him. He laughed. “That’s what I think of too: people are going to think I was doing blow.”

During the dress rehearsal, Reznor directed a steady stream of (gently mocking rather than abusive) sarcasm towards the technicians, most of which I didn’t have room to include. This was my favorite, said as he called a brief break: “Let’s take ten minutes and figure out what to do. Ron, that will give you time to think of an excuse on why the lights came on a bar late in ‘Wish.'”
