“Guys don't understand great art. They don't care that sometimes the camera has power beyond the photographer to record emotion that only the heart can see. They're threatened when the camera jumps ahead of me. Todd Kovich was pissed when I brought my Nikon to the prom, but I'd missed too many transcendent shots over the years to ever take a chance of missing one again. A prom, I told him, had a boundless supply of photogenic bozos who could be counted on to do something base.” YearsHeartArtSometimesCareGuyChanceEmotionRecordsMissingShotsCamerasPhotographerDon't CareThreatenedGreat ArtTake A ChanceBoundlessTranscendentPromPhotogenicNikon Author:Joan Bauer
“The Suns, meanwhile, appeared to be hoisting a white flag over the Arizona desert.

“It is really sad for the new artists. Where's the next Elvis, where's the next Beatles, where's the Zeppelin? They're out there but they don't have a chance because once upon a time we [musicians of the 60s] had record companies, and they would support you and have point of purchase material and they would give you advances. In other words, they gave you the air to breathe to find yourself and spend the time to learn how to run.” GivingRunningArtistNextChanceCompanySupportRecordsAirMaterialsMusicianBreatheFinding YourselfOnce Upon A TimeRecord CompaniesSupport YouZeppelinsReally SadNew Artists Author:Gene Simmons

“You don't often get a chance to record with the other actors who are playing the characters, mainly due to the fact that you don't have to, the actors' schedules are all over the place, and it's difficult to get everyone in the same room.” CharacterFactsActorsDifficultChanceRoomsRecordsDuesSchedules Author:Elijah Wood

“I think it's because we're not purists, we're open to all kinds of music. We're not afraid to take chances and we work really hard, and we gig relentlessly, we've been very active in the studio, we're active with the record labels that we have. So I think it's like a full-on assault. We've stalled in many different directions and it kept us in the limelight for so many years.” ThinkingYearsKindDifferentHardChanceRecordsStudiosActiveAll KindsLabelsNot AfraidAssaultTake A ChanceGigsDifferent DirectionsRecord LabelsLimelight Author:Ali Shirazinia
