Preview: Jack Rabid shares stories of his passion for music outside the mainstream

At the age of 18 -- while still in high school -- Jack Rabid founded "The Big Takeover," a magazine devoted to the alternative music that had become his obsession. Over 40 years later, TBT (as its known by fans) has become a powerful force on the rock/punk landscape, and Rabid has become a legend in his own right. In this excerpt from our forthcoming interview, Rabid tells how his love of rock music began even before kindergarten, and why punk music was and is his central focus as a writer, publisher, and fan. <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/tbt'>#tbt</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/thebigtakeover'>#thebigtakeover</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/punkrock'>#punkrock</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/punkmusic'>#punkmusic</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/alternativerock'>#alternativerock</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/alternativemusic'>#alternativemusic</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/fanzines'>#fanzines</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/magazinepublishing'>#magazinepublishing</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/magazinewriting'>#magazinewriting</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/musicinterviews'>#musicinterviews</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/jackrabid'>#jackrabid</a> SHOW LESS
