“The American people were, in the beginning, Revolutionaries and Tories. The American people ever since have been Revolutionaries and Tories. They have been Revolutionaries and Tories regardless of the labels of the past and present. Regardless of whether they were Federalists, Democrat-Republicans, Whigs, Know-Nothings, Free Soilers, Unionists or Confederates, Populists, Republicans, Democrats, Socialists, Communists, or Progressives. They have been and are profiteers and patriots. They have been and are conservatives, liberals, and radicals.” PeopleKnowsHas BeensPastRepublicanDemocratRadicalLabelsRevolutionaryCommunistPatriotPast And PresentPopulistFederalistConfederate Author:Saul Alinsky
“I think bands will actually make more money without record companies; a much bigger share of the money will go to the bands. You won't have record shops taking 40 percent of the money. You won't have record labels taking 40 percent of the money. So they don't have to sell as many albums as they used to in the past. So it's not necessarily a bad thing if record companies disappear.” IfsThinkingPastUsedCompanyRecordsShareBandPercentBiggerSellsAlbumsDisappearLabelsShopsBad ThingsMore MoneyRecord CompaniesRecord Labels Author:Richard Branson
“Decades have a delusive edge to them. They are not, of course, really periods at all, except as any other ten years may be. But we, looking at them, are caught by the different name each bears, and give them different attributes, and tie labels on them, as if they were flowers in a border.” IfsGivingYearsMayDifferentPastTimeCoursesNamesFlowerBearsPeriodsTenEdgesCaughtDecadesLabelsBordersTiesAttributesDifferent Names Book:Told by an Idiot Source: Told by an Idiot
