“There's also something happening in television similar to what happened in the '80s, when people stopped taking so many drugs and wanted to hear real instruments in music again. I think people want plot, story and characters. Those are more important than having a big star.” PeopleThinkingWantImportantRealCharacterStoriesBigsWantedStarsHappenedTelevisionDrugHappeningsInstrumentsPlot80s Author:Jessica Pare
“I own no TV stations, or Radio Stations or Newspapers. But I feel that people need to be educated as to what is going on, and to understand the connection between the news media and the instruments of repression in Amerika. All I have is my voice, my spirit and the will to tell the truth. But I sincerely ask, those of you in the Black media, those of you in the progressive media, those of you who believe in true freedom, to publish this statement and to let people know what is happening. We have no voice, so you must be the voice of the voiceless.” PeopleKnowsNeedsFeelsBelieveSpiritAsksBlackVoiceMediaTvsNewsHappeningsConnectionsInstrumentsRadioNewspapersStatementsEducatedTelling The TruthStationsProgressivePublishSincerelyRepressionTrue FreedomRadio StationsNews MediaVoiceless Author:Assata Shakur

“In terms of what has been happening recently, there have been, I think, some really interesting new instruments that have come out that sort of show me the direction of the future. Korg has introduced the - they've had a whole series now of these things called Kaoss Pads. They're wonderful because they do get your muscles working again. And what DJs do, of course, with their DJ turntables now, the CD turntables, which have pitch change and speed change and everything else. They're doing something that I think is interestingly physical.” ThinkingHas BeensWholeShowsCoursesTermInterestingWonderfulHappeningsInstrumentsSeriesSpeedMusclesShow MeReally InterestingCdsDjsPadsTurntables Author:Brian Eno
“If a band isn't coming up with two to four of those when they pick up their instruments, then they have problems - even if none of them turn into a song.

“Any artist is an instrument-and that's exactly why you can't do it all the time. You can only do it when it's happening, when it's coming through. No matter how much you may want to do it, if it's not happening then it's simply not happening.” IfsWantMayMatterArtistHappeningsInstruments Author:Van Morrison
“Why, for example, do the great writers use anticipation instead of surprise? Because surprise is merely an instrument of the unusual, whereas anticipation of a consequence enlarges our understanding of what is happening.” UseUnderstandingExampleHappeningsConsequenceInstrumentsSurpriseUnusualAnticipationGreat Writers Author:Roger Rosenblatt
“Of course it’s the apparently tranquil periods that deceive us. Though our instruments or our senses or our wits may not be able to see the processes that are leading toward these clusters of events, they’re happening. The star, the wheel, the butterfly—all are in a subtle state of unrest, waiting for the moment when some invisible mechanism signals that the time has come. Then the star explodes; the wheel makes poor men rich; the butterfly mates and dies.” MenMayStatesMomentsAbleDiesCoursesStarsWaitingProcessPoorRichEventsPeriodsHappeningsInstrumentsWitSensesInvisibleWheelsSubtleMatesMechanismButterflyDeceivingSignalsPoor ManTranquilUnrestClusters Author:Clive Barker
