Unquestionably, our contemporary world of music is far richer, in a sense, than earlier periods, due to the historical and geographical extensions of culture to which I have referred. ~ George Crumb
Music Culture quotes by George Crumb
Progressive music probably wouldn't even really exist if not for the people of the United States having picked up on it and nurtured it in the way they did. It really is an American form of music in the sense that it was nurtured here. So it belongs here. It has become part of the fabric of American musical culture. ~ Greg Lake
Music Culture quotes by Greg Lake
I'm starting to wonder if pop culture is in its dying days, because everyone is able to customize their own lives with the images they want to see and the words they want to read and the music they listen to. You don't have the broader trends like you used to. ~ Douglas Coupland
Music Culture quotes by Douglas Coupland
American music culture is black culture. ~ Yelawolf
Music Culture quotes by Yelawolf
You get below the Mason-Dixon line and you have some of the best music, culture, the two races, the literature, and it's so rich. ~ Robert Duvall
Music Culture quotes by Robert Duvall
The UK has a super strong music culture. I could definitely see myself living there if it made sense. ~ MC Lars
Music Culture quotes by MC Lars
As a New Yorker you can't help but be proud of the fact that so much music and culture started here. Punk rock, jazz, hip-hop and house music started here, George Gershwin debuted 'Rhapsody in Blue' here; the Velvet Underground are from New York. ~ Moby
Music Culture quotes by Moby
Hip-hop is a part of rock & roll because it comes from DJ culture. DJ culture is the embodiment of all genres and all recorded music, if you actually pay attention to it. ~ Chuck D
Music Culture quotes by Chuck D
The whole American pop culture started in Philadelphia with 'American Bandstand' and the music that came out of that city. ~ Daryl Hall
Music Culture quotes by Daryl Hall
Dig into the roots of culture, and it will grow. It's like a grass that is growing, and it cannot stop, and music is like the fertilizer for that. ~ Burning Spear
Music Culture quotes by Burning Spear
I think this whole division between the genres has more to do with marketing than anything else. It's terrible for the culture of music. ~ Tom Waits
Music Culture quotes by Tom Waits
I used to imagine that making it in music - really making it in music - is if you're an old man going by a schoolyard and you hear children singing your songs, playing jump-rope, or on the swings. That's the ultimate. You're in the culture. ~ Tom Waits
Music Culture quotes by Tom Waits
I can't pretend that I don't subscribe to Internet music culture in that I discover new music and old music simultaneously. ~ Alan Palomo
Music Culture quotes by Alan Palomo
I know Diplo knows a lot about underground music culture - he was one of the people to put me onto music like that when I used to listen to the Mad Decent Mixes. It was like, 'Oh, he knows what I want.' ~ Kreayshawn
Music Culture quotes by Kreayshawn
Change is the only constant, whether it's in music, culture, dance or fashion. ~ Sonu Nigam
Music Culture quotes by Sonu Nigam
In '77 there was no Internet, there was no Twitter or Facebook, and I think that, without being some old git who hates anything new, people's attention spans are too short. Back then you had 'Top Of The Pops' and 'Melody Maker,' and you had to make the effort to go to a show so that you absorbed the culture of music. ~ Steve Jones
Music Culture quotes by Steve Jones
It's really cool to see glowsticks at the show, to see dance music culture infiltrating and becoming one with the metal community. ~ Jonathan Davis
Music Culture quotes by Jonathan Davis
The opportunity and the concept of merging music culture with actual boxing is exciting. It's bringing a younger demographic to the sport. ~ Curtis Jackson
Music Culture quotes by Curtis Jackson
Punk is just like any other sub culture or music. Straight rock music has those elements. I grew up in a place where the punk rock kids fed the homeless in the town square. ~ Justin Sane
Music Culture quotes by Justin Sane
I explored rock culture and what the guitar can do though people like Jimmy Page and John McLaughlin, and the music moves away from pop. ~ Johnny Marr
Music Culture quotes by Johnny Marr
I beg young people to travel. If you don't have a passport, get one. Take a summer, get a backpack and go to Delhi, go to Saigon, go to Bangkok, go to Kenya. Have your mind blown. Eat interesting food. Dig some interesting people. Have an adventure. Be careful. Come back and you're going to see your country differently, you're going to see your president differently, no matter who it is. Music, culture, food, water. Your showers will become shorter. You're going to get a sense of what globalization looks like. It's not what Tom Friedman writes about; I'm sorry. You're going to see that global climate change is very real. And that for some people, their day consists of walking 12 miles for four buckets of water. And so there are lessons that you can't get out of a book that are waiting for you at the other end of that flight. A lot of people - Americans and Europeans - come back and go, ohhhhh. And the light bulb goes on. ~ Henry Rollins
Music Culture quotes by Henry Rollins
World events can shape culture. Music is either a soundtrack for or a narration of changing times. And who knows how that's going to go? ~ L.A. Reid
Music Culture quotes by L.A. Reid
Negro music and culture are intrinsically improvisational, existential. Nothing is sacred. After a decade, a musical idea, no matter how innovative, is threatened. ~ Archie Shepp
Music Culture quotes by Archie Shepp
Look, when I started out, mainstream culture was Sinatra, Perry Como, Andy Williams, Sound of Music. There was no fitting into it then and of course, there's no fitting into it now. ~ Bob Dylan
Music Culture quotes by Bob Dylan
But know this: as far as a music culture goes, EDM is the one who will accept the kids on the outliers, the ones who get bullied, the ones who feel like they may not quite fit in. This community is exceptional in its ability to bond all types together, and I am not exaggerating when I say it saves lives. Our audience is intelligent and kind, discriminating only in regards to which sound they like best. Our audience is unprecedented in their drive to proactively support each other. ~ Kaskade
Music Culture quotes by Kaskade
My cousin was Ron O'Neal, who was 'Superfly.' Films like 'Shaft' and 'Superfly' were the biggest things out there in the early '70s. It's hard to remember just how big they were - how much impact they had on the culture, the music, the fashions, the hair styles. ~ Kym Whitley
Music Culture quotes by Kym Whitley
The physical impact of taiko music, along with the sheer visual poetry of a choreographed ensemble presenting its music in perfect synchrony, is so powerful and inviting that taiko is beginning to catch on as Japan's most influential and lasting gift to world music. ~ Gil Asakawa
Music Culture quotes by Gil Asakawa
I'm gonna make music, and I'm gonna capture every aspect of being a human being. That's really all I'm trying to do. I think that artists and pop culture identities are used to simplify what it means to be a human and pigeon-hole people into looking up to one role model. ~ Mac Miller
Music Culture quotes by Mac Miller
It seems like Weezer has gotten better and better at getting attention for everything besides our music. Part of that is just the nature of our culture now - you really have to scream to get some attention, so people even know you have a record out that they might want to listen to. ~ Rivers Cuomo
Music Culture quotes by Rivers Cuomo
There will never be another 'American Idol,' which produced so many credible superstars over the years. It was a phenomenon in pop culture. It changed music. ~ Nick Fradiani
Music Culture quotes by Nick Fradiani
Music is always going to be only as sophisticated as the culture that consumes it. ~ Jimmy Chamberlin
Music Culture quotes by Jimmy Chamberlin
Right now, I've never been more impressed by the new bands that we meet. I may be 10, 20 years older, but we're all on the same page about culture, music and life. ~ Chris Robinson
Music Culture quotes by Chris Robinson
I heard Q-Tip on the Jungle Brothers' song 'The Promo.' It was very exciting. It was very new. The music and the culture around hip-hop was evolving. I think there's an emotional quality to their music and there's a vulnerability to the music. For me, A Tribe Called Quest was my Beatles. ~ Michael Rapaport
Music Culture quotes by Michael Rapaport
What was remarkable was that associating with a computer and electronics company was the best way for a rock band to seem hip and appeal to young people. Bono later explained that not all corporate sponsorships were deals with the devil. "Let's have a look," he told Greg Kot, the Chicago Tribune music critic. "The 'devil' here is a bunch of creative minds, more creative than a lot of people in rock bands. The lead singer is Steve Jobs. These men have helped design the most beautiful art object in music culture since the electric guitar. That's the iPod. The job of art is to chase ugliness away. ~ Walter Isaacson
Music Culture quotes by Walter Isaacson
We are devastated to learn of the death of Alexander McQueen, one of the greatest talents of his generation. He brought a uniquely British sense of daring and aesthetic fearlessness to the global stage of fashion. In such a short career, Alexander McQueen's influence was astonishing - from street style, to music culture and the world's museums. His passing marks an insurmountable loss. ~ Anna Wintour
Music Culture quotes by Anna Wintour
I have a lot of friends who are in love the '90s. Girls, boys. '90s music? That's Tupac. That's Biggie. That's TLC. That's Aaliyah. I still listen to Aaliyah. I still listen to Tupac and Biggie. There's people who are really heavy on that culture. ~ Shameik Moore
Music Culture quotes by Shameik Moore
Jazz is not the popular culture. Jazz is in the same position in our culture as classical music. A very small minority of people really love it. ~ John Corigliano
Music Culture quotes by John Corigliano
We're a staple in the American music culture. Like us or not, we're here to stay. ~ Jonathan Cain
Music Culture quotes by Jonathan Cain
Record stores are the backbone of the recorded music culture. It's where we go to network, browse around, and find new songs to love. The stores whose staff live for music have spread the word about exciting new things faster and with more essence than either radio or the press. Any artist that doesn't support the wonderful ma and pa record stores across America is contributing to our own extinction. ~ Joan Jett
Music Culture quotes by Joan Jett
I used to think that, given enough goodwill, anybody would be able to 'get' any music, no matter how distant the culture from which it came. And then I heard Chinese opera. ~ Brian Eno
Music Culture quotes by Brian Eno
Audio virology is not a metaphor. It is to be taken literally. It maps real processes of mutation, transmission, contagion and memory within music culture. ~ Kode9
Music Culture quotes by Kode9
Every now and again, the alternative culture is cherished by the mainstream for what it is, rather than how it should be, like the mainstream popular music. ~ Thurston Moore
Music Culture quotes by Thurston Moore
I'm someone that examines culture and tries to break down why things are the way that they are whether its hip-hop music, sex, race, or consumerism. I try to examine it and scrutinize it to the point where I can write a song. ~ Macklemore
Music Culture quotes by Macklemore
I'm not suggesting our music is the only music, but I am suggesting that there are certain elements in America's culture that are so precious that it would be a shame for them to go down the drain. ~ Johnny Otis
Music Culture quotes by Johnny Otis
I love traditional music. But in any culture around the world, there is the historic and cultural music and everything that's been passed down and passed down, and hopefully you take that, and then you take it, you know, the next distance, and then somebody else takes it the next distance. ~ Robbie Robertson
Music Culture quotes by Robbie Robertson
About the only things that are unique to Earth are our biota and our culture. If aliens ever come here, they'd most likely be either biologists or music fans. Neither one has much reason to antagonize our armed forces. ~ Seth Shostak
Music Culture quotes by Seth Shostak
Whenever there's a change with Jazz & its aesthetics, it's almost always reflected with a change in the culture. ~ Tom Harrell
Music Culture quotes by Tom Harrell
I mean, the genuine roots of culture is folk music. ~ John Lydon
Music Culture quotes by John Lydon
Basically the message is: Steal It! Art, music, culture, the odd book and the slab of cheese ... the new will be built upon the ruins of the old. ~ Buenaventura Durruti
Music Culture quotes by Buenaventura Durruti
When you do music concerts at Taj Mahal and the Acropolis, you have to be careful about your performance being appropriate with the place that surrounds you. It has to be appropriate to the culture - it should fit the building behind you, the environment you are playing it in and the culture of that place. ~ Yanni
Music Culture quotes by Yanni
Rap has been a path between cultures in the best tradition of popular music. ~ Jay-Z
Music Culture quotes by Jay-Z
But I feel music has a very important role in ritual activity, and that being able to join in musical activity, along with dancing, could have been necessary at a very early stage of human culture. ~ E. O. Wilson
Music Culture quotes by E. O. Wilson
I had a friend write me that our music was being played at Gay Pride in New York, which is a big compliment. In the biggest city in the country with the most culture and the most grit - I love it. ~ Jennifer Nettles
Music Culture quotes by Jennifer Nettles
I am continually influenced by the feeling that music culture captured in the late 60s - for my generation, it was a time to rebel, against our parents, against everything. ~ Renzo Rosso
Music Culture quotes by Renzo Rosso
California is full of Mexican culture and Mexican music. ~ Harry Dean Stanton
Music Culture quotes by Harry Dean Stanton
What I like to do when I get to a new place is buy local music early on and listen to it while we're driving around. I think it helps explain and illuminate the culture of where you are if local music is playing. ~ Chris Hadfield
Music Culture quotes by Chris Hadfield
People are used to music that justifies street culture but something that's not touched on is why these kids act the way they act, live the way they live. ~ Kendrick Lamar
Music Culture quotes by Kendrick Lamar
I get interested in the various ways that music is being done in the culture, and some of it I like thoroughly enough to want to learn about it. The way I have been successful at doing that is to become part of it. ~ Chick Corea
Music Culture quotes by Chick Corea
It is better to make a piece of music than to perform one, better to perform one than to listen to one, better to listen to one than to misuse it as a means of distraction, entertainment, or acquisition of 'culture.' ~ John Cage
Music Culture quotes by John Cage
NOTE: For those who enjoy listening to music while they read, a soundtrack has been placed at the back of the book. So if - like the author - you believe that music and reading go together like peanut butter and chocolate, then you may want to skip to the back and start the music before you begin reading. Enjoy! ~ Mitty Walters
Music Culture quotes by Mitty Walters
What we are confronted with now is the problem posed by the economic and symbolic structure of television. Those who run television do not limit our access to information but in fact widen it. Our Ministry of Culture is Huxleyan, not Orwellian. It does everything possible to encourage us to watch continuously. But what we watch is a medium which presents information in a form that renders it simplistic, nonsubstantive, nonhistorical and noncontextual; that is to say, information packaged as entertainment. In America, we are never denied the opportunity to entertain ourselves. ~ Neil Postman
Music Culture quotes by Neil Postman
I talk about life, and I make universal music with an American style - and that's what I do. ~ Nas
Music Culture quotes by Nas
There's nothing better than live music. It's raw energy, and raw energy feeds the soul. ~ Dhani Jones
Music Culture quotes by Dhani Jones
There is no real coming and going, For what is going but coming? ~ Bill Vaughan
Music Culture quotes by Bill Vaughan
I don't feel guilty about the music I love. If you feel guilty about something you dig, then you should stop feeling guilty about it. One of my favorite albums to this day is the 10th anniversary ensemble cast of 'Les Miserables,' the ultimate cast recording, and it is still something I love listening to top to bottom. ~ Corey Taylor
Music Culture quotes by Corey Taylor
I don't understand anything about America's culture. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Music Culture quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
Father
Break my heart for what breaks yours
Give me open hands and open doors
Put your light in my eyes and let me see
That my own little world is not about me ~ Matthew West
Music Culture quotes by Matthew West
If you look at the market cap increase in Apple since it created the iPod versus what's happened to the music industry, you have to say Apple got the better part of that deal. ~ Edgar Bronfman, Jr.
Music Culture quotes by Edgar Bronfman, Jr.
Silence can bring with it a vacancy that in its turn craves the distraction of the human voice or the obscuring impact created...by music. These distractions can help to stifle the terror of being abandoned to the silence of the noisy mind. ~ Juliet Nicolson
Music Culture quotes by Juliet Nicolson
I've been in very many situations where I've not liked the other members of the band or they have not liked me. I grew up presuming that's the way music was made. It doesn't need to be that way. It's taken me years years to find that out. ~ John Lydon
Music Culture quotes by John Lydon
I'm not sure many writers are trying to reconcile all the things that are separated in our culture - body and mind, urban and pastoral, lyricism and hardboiled, men and women, joy and grief. I tried to do quite a lot, but I wanted to create a serious work of literature. ~ Nicola Griffith
Music Culture quotes by Nicola Griffith
You know, every country needs another country to mock, and Australians seem to be pretty good at impersonating American people. Maybe it's because all the movies and music and TV you see there is from America, so we just have the knack for it. ~ Callan McAuliffe
Music Culture quotes by Callan McAuliffe
I didn't know that there were many rules in music when I first started writing. ~ Tyler Joseph
Music Culture quotes by Tyler Joseph
I write and play music. I'd like to be a musician at some point. ~ Laurence Fox
Music Culture quotes by Laurence Fox
Be culturally literate, because if you don't have any understanding of the world you live in and the culture you live in, you're not going to express anything to anybody else. ~ Paula Scher
Music Culture quotes by Paula Scher
It's lifestyle music. It's not like some secretary who likes some pop song, but can't name who the band is; whereas a heavy metal fan is into every aspect of it. We'll see if rap holds up to that. Run-DMC seemed to be the Led Zeppelin of rap. ~ Rob Zombie
Music Culture quotes by Rob Zombie
Linguistic philosophers continue to argue that probably music is not a language, that is in the philosophical debate. Another point of view is to say that music is a very profound language. ~ Robert Fripp
Music Culture quotes by Robert Fripp
Beyond brand, culture can help drive your product itself by creating the conditions for the idea generation that is and will continue to be the lifeblood of any company. ~ Leah Busque
Music Culture quotes by Leah Busque
It was interesting to find how dominating American vision is all over the world. I think there's something to be said about the world's mindset and its economics and all of that, and I think it affects the way we see ourselves and it affects music. ~ K'naan
Music Culture quotes by K'naan
Laura's bored expression had gradually fallen away as he spoke, and now she looked at him in amazement.
'You do realize I was being rude? Are you being polite because I am a guest and guests are like, what, gods in Indian culture?'
'Only in the history books. We treat guests the same as most people do around the world. Guests are fine as long as they respect boundaries and don't wear out their welcome. But you are more than a guest, Ms Mackenzie, you are a client. And clients are the gods of any business, anywhere in the world. ~ Indu Muralidharan
Music Culture quotes by Indu Muralidharan
The fact that Jesus weeps and that he is moved in spirit and troubled contrasts remarkably with the dominant culture. That is not the way of power, and it is scarcely the way among those who intend to maintain firm social control. But in [John 11:33-35] Jesus is engaged not in social control but in dismantling the power of death, and he does so by submitting himself to the pain and grief present in the situation, the very pain and grief that the dominant society must deny. ~ Walter Brueggemann
Music Culture quotes by Walter Brueggemann
Everyone's talking about how no one is buying records any more, but to me it's quite logical. In the 1990s, music was so hardcore-marketed to a certain group of people that I think a lot of kids felt taken advantage of. ~ Robyn
Music Culture quotes by Robyn
I honestly don't listen to a lot of music - I spend so much time working at my own music. ~ Iris Dement
Music Culture quotes by Iris Dement
Culture in America and everywhere else comes from the suffering, from those who don't want the old ways. They want to bring in the new, whether it's the ballet, when it started, or Shakespeare. ~ Russell Simmons
Music Culture quotes by Russell Simmons
Life seems terrible and disappointing, so you need to find something you need to make you stick around. Music that makes me happiest is the saddest music, with the most emotional feel. ~ Josh Klinghoffer
Music Culture quotes by Josh Klinghoffer
I love music, and a lot of it. Jazz is probably on the top with guys like Miles Davis. But I even enjoy music from the '60s and '70s. ~ Donovan Bailey
Music Culture quotes by Donovan Bailey
One quick way to destroy a society is through its music. ~ Vladimir Lenin
Music Culture quotes by Vladimir Lenin
You have to have passion for anything you do. Whether it's sports, whether it's music, whether you want to be Mother Theresa, you have to have passion for what it is you do, or what's the point in getting up in the morning and getting out of bed? ~ Zakk Wylde
Music Culture quotes by Zakk Wylde
I grew up in a very small house with five brothers and sisters and my parents, all with one little bathroom. And from as early as I can remember, seven, eight years old, I was listening to music to get a way from it all. Then the discovery of all this amazing stuff that became more than just getting away from it, it became a part of my DNA. ~ John Varvatos
Music Culture quotes by John Varvatos
I think it's almost a unique control that artists can have now more than they ever did, I think if you don't be proactive about how you want your music to be visually represented, I think other people will do it for you - so how comfortable are you with people putting their own two cents on it? ~ Lizzy Plapinger
Music Culture quotes by Lizzy Plapinger
I have my ideas, I have my music and I also just enjoy showing off, so that's a big part of it. Also, I like to get up onstage and behave insanely or express myself physically, and the band can get pretty silly. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Music Culture quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I don't need you to explain to me the concept of a magical land filled with fantastic creatures that only certain special children can enter. I am acquainted with the last several centuries of popular culture. There are books. And cartoons, for the illiterate. ~ Sarah Rees Brennan
Music Culture quotes by Sarah Rees Brennan
In my eyes, America seemed to have an unabashed sense of freedom and fun while England was a little bit more reserved. Truthfully, I pull very much from both places with so much to appreciate from each culture. ~ Samantha Newark
Music Culture quotes by Samantha Newark
The local music community here was dying for a place to record, so we started doing acoustic, folk and bluegrass and then did rock projects for other bands, as well as for my son Tal and my own work. ~ Randy Bachman
Music Culture quotes by Randy Bachman
As she went on with her labour, she became aware that she had Schubert's Erl-King going around in her head. It wasn't the ideal music for the job. Normally, Pannonique programmed her brain to play symphonies that have her the energy indispensable for such physical labour-Saint-Saens, Dvorak-but now that heart-rending Lied stuck in her skull and sapped her strength. ~ Amelie Nothomb
Music Culture quotes by Amelie Nothomb
I'm a real gangster rapper and I'm a rapper. I just think my music takes different directions. I don't think you can pigeon hole me in one genre. I'm probably the most versatile in the game, period. ~ Freddie Gibbs
Music Culture quotes by Freddie Gibbs
I'm going to continue to keep music number one. ~ Ludacris
Music Culture quotes by Ludacris
It makes utter sense to stay healthy and strong, to be as nourishing to the body as possible. Yet I would have to agree, there is in many women a 'hungry' one inside. But rather than hungry to be a certain size, shape, or height, rather than hungry to fit the stereotype; women are hungry for basic regard from the culture surrounding them. The 'hungry' one inside is longing to be treated respectfully, to be accepted and in the very least, to be met without stereotyping. ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Music Culture quotes by Clarissa Pinkola Estes
It is not the race that makes the civilization, it is the civilization that makes the people: circumstances geographical, economic, and political create a culture, and the culture creates a human type. ~ Will Durant
Music Culture quotes by Will Durant
