Personally I feel that real rock 'n' roll may be on the way out, just like adolescence as a relatively innocent transitional period is on the way out. What we have instead is a small island of new free music surrounded by some good reworkings of past idioms and a vast sargasso sea of absolute garbage.

The Mekons are the most revolutionary group in the history of rock 'n' roll.

Music, you know, true music not just rock 'n' roll, chooses you.

I can guarantee you one thing, we will never agree on anything as we agreed on Elvis.

The great thing about The Clash of course is that they keep searching for answers beyond that.

The only questions worth asking today are whether humans are going to have any emotions tomorrow, and what the quality of life will be if the answer is no.

I've always believed the New Left is rank.
