ROCK AND ROLL QUOTES
Hello!
Just a quick prologue...
This is a post that has been long in its making. I read each of these books and started jotting down some of the more memorable lines.
(Also, I recommend any and all of the books noted in here.)
"It's just that soul probably lies in suffering and I identify with people who suffer." -Phil Spector, from Tearing Down the Wall of Sound
"Besides fast food, the rock and roll group is what America is best known for, and its model is reproduced across the globe, at much cost to the individuals involved and for little apparent reward." -Ian Svenonius, Supernatural Strategies for Making a Rock and Roll Group
"It's hard to care anymore. The music industry is fat and unsatisfied. They can buy anything, and turn anyone into a spiritual eunuch. That means no balls." -Iggy Pop, from The Dark Stuff by Nick Kent
"I met Syd Barret there [Frendz journal headquarters]. Less than 5 years earlier, I'd stood transfixed, watching him in all his retina-scorching, dandified splendor as he'd performed with his group the Pink Floyd, silently praying that one day I might be like him. Now, as he stood before me with his haunted eyes and fractured countenance, I was having second thoughts." - Nick Kent, The Dark Stuff
"Do what you should do, not what you could do, cause you can do anything, but there are consequences. And consequences are a bitch." -Andre Williams
"My only ambition in life became to meet Handsome Dick Manitoba. That's why we started Punk magazine, so we could hang out with the Dictators." -Legs McNeil, from Please Kill Me by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain
"Honey, I'm a cocksucker, what are you?" -Lou Reed, from Please Kill Me

End of summer daze
I guess it has been the heat and the desire to escape the heat by laying at the pool that has made me been so slow on blog posts this last month. I have a few posts in the works, but nothing is done yet, and if I post it before I feel it is really done then I just end up taking it down later. So it's not that I have been lazy, I am just taking my time.
I have also been reading like crazy and trying to get more material for one particular post that I am very excited about, and it is coming close. Then I realized I wanted to include some female rockers and writers in it, so I had to read and re-read even more!
I have seen several great bands this summer. I am going to make a list, gather some photos (if I took any at the shows, I am really bad about actually taking pictures, I always forget to charge the camera and it dies right at the beginning) and make a little post about those.
In the meantime, I have posted my archived ROCK SEXY episodes, except for the last two, in which the recordings were cut off by wonky internet connections I guess, but still there are about 15 or so and that's 30 hours of listening pleasure! Go directly to my Mixcloud page where you will find most of the episodes, then head over to my Spreaker profile for the rest.
