“Rock records. It's the main source of inspiration for people - fans, or musicians, or both - to act out in ways that they wouldn't normally act out. Especially rock critics. Ultimately, records don't really hurt anybody, and neither do reviews.” PeopleWayInspirationHurtRecordsFansRocksSourceMusicianCriticsReviewsSource Of Inspiration Author:Ryan Adams
“[T]ruly grand and powerful theories [...] do not and cannot rest upon single observations. Evolution is an inference from thousands of independent sources, the only conceptual structure that can make unified sense of all this disparate information. The failure of a particular claim usually records a local error, not the bankruptcy of a central theory.

“This is a source of much embarrassment and puzzlement to me about myself. (It) probably requires psychoanalysis of why there is this aberration in my life.

“A proper record shop reminds us why we got into this in the first place - a place to be reminded of old friends, still in their spots on the shelves, a source of unexpected magic and lucid memories - a place that reminds us that music is more than dumb file sharing and the management of dead data by faceless sociopathic corporations, but a storehouse of dreams, both possible and impossible.” FirstsStillsDreamMemoriesRecordsImpossibleMagicSourceMusic IsManagementSpotsDataDumbCorporationsShopsUnexpectedShelvesFilesOld FriendsPossible And ImpossibleFacelessFile Sharing Author:Max Richter
“At times the [radio telescope] records exhibited a feature characteristic of interference, occurring some time later than the passage of the two known sources. This intermittent feature was curious, and I recall saying once that we would have to investigate the origin of that interference some day.

“Being singer is different than being an actor, where you call up sources from your own experience that you can apply to whatever Shakespeare drama you're in. But an actor is pretending to be somebody, a singer isn't. And that's the difference. Singers today have to sing songs where there's very little emotion involved. That and the fact that they have to sing hit records from years gone by doesn't leave a lot of room for any kind of intelligent creativity.” YearsKindLittlesDifferentFactsTodaySongActorsDifferencesRoomsEmotionCreativityGoneRecordsSourceInvolvedDramaIntelligentSingersPretendingYears Gone By Author:Bob Dylan

“What was really interesting in his speech, which, by the way, had (inaudible) footnotes - the written version of it - which might be a personal record for Donald Trump - the source of a lot of his numbers on the free trade section of the speech came from an organization called the Economic Policy Institute, which was a think tank or is a think tank that was founded by labor unions to promote the labor unions' point of view on free trade agreements.” ThinkingWayMightInterestingViewsNumbersRecordsWrittenEconomicPolicySourceTrumpSpeechLaborOrganizationTradeUnionsPoint Of ViewVersionsAgreementSectionsTanksReally InterestingInstituteFree TradeEconomic PolicyLabor UnionFootnotesTrade Agreements Author:Avik Roy
“Michelle Obama kind of has two identities. In private, she is actually often much more vehement than her husband about Republican opposition. It was very hard to get sources to put it on the record, but they would describe the way she talked about Republicans and opposition in private. And, you know, her remarks were scorching. The level of heat that she can give off in these conversations is often much greater than what Barack Obama does.” KnowsWayGivingKindDoeTwoHardLevelsRecordsGreaterIdentitySourceRepublicanHusbandConversationBarackHeatOppositionRemarksVehementScorching Author:Jodi Kantor
