Career
Focused primarily on music, Edwards began working as a contributing editor and associate editor at Details magazine in 1991. He later wrote for Wired, The New York Times and Rolling Stone, where, as a contributing editor, he wrote twelve cover stories.[3][4]
In 1995, Touchstone Books published the first of Edwards' five books on misheard lyrics, Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy.[5][6]
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."[7][8]
