“What's holding me up is I'm confused about the nature of the music. Because the modern music doesn't reach me. I mean to say the sound of the modern electric production. A lot of sequencers... synths. That's what people are buying. Because that doesn't reach me, it throws me back to like 1948, but I don't want to be there. Back there, I'm talking about blues records... The roots of rock'n'roll is rhythm and blues and that's like really where I'm at, where I was always at.” PeopleWantMeanSoundTalkingRecordsModernRocksMusic IsRootsProductionsRhythmConfusedBuyingRock N RollElectricRhythm And BluesModern MusicI'm Confused Author:Joe Strummer
“The modern age has been characterized by a Promethean spirit, a restless energy that preys on speed records and shortcuts, unmindful of the past, uncaring of the future, existing only for the moment and the quick fix. The earthly rhythms that characterize a more pastoral way of life have been shunted aside to make room for the fast track of an urbanized existence. Lost in a sea of perpetual technological transition, modern man and woman find themselves increasingly alienated from the ecological choreography of the planet.” MenWayLifeHas BeensMomentsAgePastSpiritEnergyLostRoomsExistenceRecordsSeaModernPlanetsMen And WomenTrackSpeedRhythmTransitionPerpetualTechnologicalRestlessPreyEcologicalShortcutsChoreographyModern ManModern AgeUncaringQuick Fixes Book:Time Wars: The Primary Conflict in Human History Source: Time Wars: The Primary Conflict in Human History

“Everything I write is personal, really. Even when I'm sarcastic, it's quite personal. And on this record, from the production to the singing to the performances, I got it really honest. To the modern ear, it seems soft. When you hear it against other things, it seems vulnerable. Lyrically and musically, though, this is more subtle. And, yes, it's asking a lot of someone who's used to being hit over the head with bright neon to listen to this.” WritingSeemsUsedRecordsModernHonestSingingPerformancesEarsAskingProductionsVulnerableSubtleSarcasticNeon Author:Ben Folds

“The political terms 'will' and 'popular will' have a long track record in Western history going back to Rousseau.
