When everything is worth money, then money is worth nothing.

Frank Lloyd Wright... his things were beautiful but not very functional.

I resent the implication that I'm less of a musician and a worse person for not appreciating certain works.

Ninety percent of all music is always crap, and when too many people decide they're going to have guitar bands, then ninety percent of them are going to be crap. It's just a given law.

There's still a feeling that uncensored emotions make a good song. They don't. Pure emotion is just somebody screaming at you, or crying. It doesn't communicate anything. It has to be mediated with some skill and craft, in order to communicate it to a second, a third, or a fourth person. That doesn't make it any less real. And it doesn't make it any less true. But it does mean that, yeah, it's the combination that makes it work.

I find rebellion packaged by a major corporation a little hard to take seriously.

The Heads were the only band on that scene that had a groove.
