Biography
Edwards was born in New York to Scilla and James Edwards. He graduated from Yale University in 1990 with a BA in English.[7]
Focused primarily on music, Edwards began working as a contributing editor and associate editor at Details in 1991. In 1999, he began writing for Rolling Stone, where, as a contributing editor, he has written 12 cover stories.[8][9]
Edwards published his first book of misheard lyrics in 1995. Titled 'Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy, it was published by Touchstone Books.[10][11] Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating Death, and Drums, Drums, Drums, which Edwards wrote with Travis Barker, was released in October 2015.[12]
Edwards' 2016 book, The Tao of Bill Murray, consisted of a brief biography of Bill Murray, a 106-page filmography of 59 films, and a breakdown of the "10 Principles of Bill," a "kind of existentialist/Zen mashup that preaches a heightened awareness of the present."[13][14]
Edwards and his wife, curator Jennifer Sudul Edwards, live in Charlotte, North Carolina with their two sons.[7][15]
