“From folk to tribal to Cab Calloway, Cole Porter, Gershwin to the Rolling Stones, whose first record was all covers, to country-western, bebop, blues, and even the referencing in classic hip hop to cliched love ballads of the '80s or whatever - that is kinda gone, and that's just terrifying to me.” FirstsCountryGoneRecordsStonesWesternFolksHip HopHipsClassicHopsRolling80sRolling StonesCabBalladsGershwinBebopReferencingCountry Western Author:Cat Power

“I guess it really didn't even dawn on me that you could be a rock critic as a job until I was maybe almost out of college. I knew criticism existed. I read Rolling Stone and Spin. Siskel and Ebert were on television. But I had absolutely no idea how to get that kind of life. And moreover, it didn't interest me that much. I just sort of read normal books growing up. I wasn't that media-conscious. I felt like the one thing I was able to do was to listen to a record and decide whether I liked it.” KindBookIdeasAbleJobsFeltInterestGrowing UpRecordsGrowingOne ThingRocksMediaTelevisionCollegeNormalConsciousStonesCriticismCriticsNo IdeaDawnRollingRolling Stones Author:Chuck Klosterman
“We're not ignored by The Guinness Book Of Records, but we've been largely ignored by the media during our lifetime. If you read any article, no mention is ever made of Pink Floyd. We're never included in the same sentences as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who. I wrote 'The Wall' as an attack on stadium rock - and there's Pink Floyd making money out of it by playing it in stadiums! Pathetic.
