"Means determines ends;and must be like the ends proposed. Means intrinsically different from the ends proposed achieved ends like themselves, not like those they were meant to achieve. The war to end war results, as usual, in a peace essentially like war."(A.Huxley,Eyeless in Gaza)

‘…if rock ‘n ‘roll is truly the democratic art form ,then the democracy has got to begin at home;that is,the everlasting and totally disgusting walls between artists and audience must come down,elitism must perish,the ‘stars’ have got to be humanized,demythologised,and the audience has got to be treated with more respect.Otherwise it ‘s all a shuck,a ripoff,and the music is as dead as the Stones ‘ and Led Zep ‘s has become.’

‘…what are lambs without a shepherd? Rastas aside, I don’t want no Jesuses in my Promised Land, and if I didn’t find it at the end of my road with the Clash I did catch a glimpse of it,on that road, in the way they acted towards their fans, towards me, towards people who worked for them, towards women, and ultimately towards themselves, everyday. Meaning that even if we don’t need any more leaders, we could do with a lot more models. If that’s what the punks really amount to,then perhaps we actually do have the germ of a new society, or at least a new sensibility, that cuts through things like class and race and sex.’ Lester Bangs, Psychotic Reaction&Carburetor Dung.
