Movements in literature were not caricatures - in the sense that they actually functioned as an ideology in politics does. As now a monopolistic ideology in politics prevails in the literature as well a single movement prevails: that of networking as a literary quality. Quality = networking is the magic formula: take a Krijn Peter Hesselink, never managed to score a positive review but reviews are old news: it is only referential authority trickling down from that network pyramid that counts. Thus, nowadays its perfectly possible to be on top of the Pyramid without ever getting a positive review, or - even worse - I even see people rising in literary ranks that have never written any books at all. Ergo, your point that another ideology would make a 'caricature' of literary history is exactly the same reasoning used by neoliberals to deconstruct any political change: another ideology? Impossible, because they no longer exist, only we still exist.

In this way you get a pyramid shape you also see in popular music. It's still the bands from the 70's and 80's who earn the big money. New talent can't really play ball anymore. This of course embedded in a sauce of eternal talent shows, because the incumbent males have to just keep pretending they are everyone's benefactors. In the literature its the same: it is still Pfeijffer that gets the large sums of money from the Foundation of Literature, and it's still Samuel Vriezen pretending that that doesn't matter.

Martijn Benders
Popular Music quotes by Martijn Benders
It is the doctrine of the popular music-masters, that whoever can speak can sing. So, probably, every man is eloquent once in his life. Our temperaments differ in capacity of heat, or ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Popular Music quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Jazz really does try to include everything. It's always been popular music. But the wonderful thing about jazz is its willingness to take chances. ~ Madeleine Peyroux
Popular Music quotes by Madeleine Peyroux
For half a century, the Sunset Strip was the asphalt timeline of American popular music. My most distinct memory, from more years ago than I'll confess to, is waiting for a table at the Olde World, which occupied a wedge of territory at Sunset and Holloway Drive, where the daiquiris became more vicious the longer you sat in the sun. ~ Steve Erickson
Popular Music quotes by Steve Erickson
My father was not really into popular music; I had to learn about that for myself. ~ Todd Rundgren
Popular Music quotes by Todd Rundgren
reality has too many heads ~ Bob Dylan
Popular Music quotes by Bob Dylan
If you look at the history of popular music, the most successful musicians have started out being really marginal and esoteric. The Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Madonna. Prince. Bruce Springsteen. Fleetwood Mac. David Bowie. Public Enemy. Nirvana. ~ Moby
Popular Music quotes by Moby
Steve Marcus was one of the greatest saxophonists in all of music. He truly was able to unite jazz with the popular music of the time. ~ Larry Coryell
Popular Music quotes by Larry Coryell
What is classical music if not the epitome of sensuality, passion, and understated erotica that popular music, even with all of its energy and life, cannot even begin to touch? ~ Lara St. John
Popular Music quotes by Lara St. John
Gershwin's melodic gift was phenomenal. His songs contain the essence of New York in the 1920s and have deservedly become classics of their kind, part of the 20th-century folk-song tradition in the sense that they are popular music which has been spread by oral tradition (for many must have sung a Gershwin song without having any idea who wrote it). ~ George Gershwin
Popular Music quotes by George Gershwin
Teen pop will never die as long as there are teens and popular music. It just takes a different head. ~ Justin Timberlake
Popular Music quotes by Justin Timberlake
The country experience was more of a departure. When you consider my education and my upbringing, you can see that was more of country rock outgrowth of my popular music aspirations. ~ Tom Wopat
Popular Music quotes by Tom Wopat
Dreams and coffee and sunrises make up the rhythms of the road.
Music is a part of it, too: the popular music on the jukeboxes and radio stations. You hear it constantly, in diners and on car radios. The music has a rhythm that fits the steady drumming of tires over pavement. It seeps into your bloodstream. After a while it ceases to make any difference whether or not you like the stuff. When you're traveling alone, a nameless rider with a succession of strangers, it can give you a comforting sense of the familiar to hear the same music over and over.
At any given time, a few current hits will be overplayed to exhaustion by the rock & roll stations. In hitching across the continent, you might hear the same song fifty or sixty times. Certain songs become connected in your mind with certain trips. ~ Kenn Kaufman
Popular Music quotes by Kenn Kaufman
Popular music has always had its really horrendous stuff. ~ Rickie Lee Jones
Popular Music quotes by Rickie Lee Jones
Popular music is slowly being laid to rest in every conceivable way ... the ashes are already about us if we could but notice them. ~ Steven Morrissey
Popular Music quotes by Steven Morrissey
For instance, I'm always fascinated to see whether, given the kind of fairly known and established form called popular music, whether there is some magic combination that nobody has hit upon before. ~ Brian Eno
Popular Music quotes by Brian Eno
I've been extremely lucky to work with Elmer Bernstein, Howard Shore over the years, but I've always imagined films with my own scores, because I don't come from that world or that period of filmmaking. And so how could I make up my own score on a film like this where it isn't necessarily made up of popular music from the radio or the period; it isn't necessarily classical music. But what if it's modern symphonic music? ~ Martin Scorsese
Popular Music quotes by Martin Scorsese
One of the disadvantages of poetry over popular music is that if you write a pop song, it naturally gets into people's heads as they listen in the car. You don't have to memorize a Paul Simon song; it's just in your head, and you can sing along. With a poem, you have to will yourself to memorize it. ~ Billy Collins
Popular Music quotes by Billy Collins
The imminent demise of the large record companies as gatekeepers of the world's popular music is a good thing, for the most part. ~ David Byrne
Popular Music quotes by David Byrne
All of the most popular music of the '30s and '40s were deeply informed by jazz. ~ Terry Teachout
Popular Music quotes by Terry Teachout
When I started music, I think it was responsible for keeping me sane, because training as a dancer really kept me in good spirits amid all the crazy stuff that happened when I first became popular. ~ Kate Bush
Popular Music quotes by Kate Bush
Few artists have influenced the sound and trajectory of popular music more distinctly, or touched quite so many people with their talent. A strong spirit transcends rules,' Prince once said - and nobody's spirit was stronger, bolder, or more creative. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, his band, and all who loved him. ~ Barack Obama
Popular Music quotes by Barack Obama
The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races. The economics of this musical Esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud. ~ George Steiner
Popular Music quotes by George Steiner
In country music the lyric is important and the melodies get a little more complex all the time, and you hear marvelous new singers who are interested in writing and interpreting a lyric and in all form of popular music. ~ Dinah Shore
Popular Music quotes by Dinah Shore
Without David Bowie, popular music as we know it pretty much wouldn't exist. ~ Moby
Popular Music quotes by Moby
For me personally - because I do it myself - the scoring of a picture is fun. I edit the picture and when I've finished I go into my room and I have many many records - jazz, classical and popular music. And I have this all at my disposal. I don't have to get a composer. ~ Woody Allen
Popular Music quotes by Woody Allen
I want to produce the best popular music I can. ~ Theophilus London
Popular Music quotes by Theophilus London
Parents ... rigidly monitor the selection of television programs ... and other forms of entertainment for your family. Foster in your homes a love of knowledge through uplifting literature; wholesome books; selective movies; classical and exemplary popular music; entertainment that uplifts and edifies the spirit and mind. ~ David B. Haight
Popular Music quotes by David B. Haight
Van Morrison remains a singer who can be compared to no other in the history of modern popular music. ~ Greil Marcus
Popular Music quotes by Greil Marcus
It's made music more accessible with YouTube and the ability to trade audio files. But it hasn't made it more popular. ~ Chick Corea
Popular Music quotes by Chick Corea
Our popular music talks constantly about love, and yet divorce rates skyrocket. ~ Billy Graham
Popular Music quotes by Billy Graham
Very few opera singers in history have been able to cross into popular music. ~ Renee Fleming

Popular Music quotes by Spotify Premium Code Generator 2015
The way I see the whole spectrum of pop music is that it is slowly being laid to rest, in every conceivable way ... So with the Smiths, I do really think it is true, I think this is really the end of the story. Ultimately, popular music will end. That must be obvious to almost everybody. And I think the ashes are all about us, if we could but notice them. ~ Morrissey
Popular Music quotes by Morrissey
We are living in a time when American popular music is finally being recognized as one of our most successful exports. The demand is huge. ~ Billy Joel
Popular Music quotes by Billy Joel
I was interested in a whole range of music that I used to play, popular music
particularly American music
that I heard a lot of when I was a teenager," "I think at a certain point it dawned on me that myself playing this music wasn't very convincing. It was more convincing when we played music that came from our own stock of tradition ... I certainly feel a lot more comfortable playing so-called Celtic music. ~ John Renbourn
Popular Music quotes by John Renbourn
The love of Christ is not a pretend love. It is not a greeting-card love. It is not the kind of love that is praised in popular music and movies. ~ Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Popular Music quotes by Dieter F. Uchtdorf
It was such an amazing time for music in the Sixties. When popular music hit me, it was like magic was in the air. ~ Ozzy Osbourne
Popular Music quotes by Ozzy Osbourne
Composers are influenced by all the important music in their lives - and I suppose that since radio started playing popular music, that's as likely to be The Beatles or Aphex Twin as it is to be Verdi or Ravel. ~ Jonny Greenwood
Popular Music quotes by Jonny Greenwood
Popular music usually has a chorus that needs to repeat, and people need to remember the song. That's sort of the major guideline when you're writing a song. ~ Alex Ebert
Popular Music quotes by Alex Ebert
James Brown and Frank Sinatra are two different quantities in the universe. They represent two different experiences of the world. ~ Amiri Baraka
Popular Music quotes by Amiri Baraka
I fell into hip-hop right from the beginning. I was a teenager in the '60s, so I was putting all my pocket money into buying LPs. I followed the ascent of the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and Stevie Wonder. I followed popular music very closely, and I've never stopped. ~ Simon De Pury
Popular Music quotes by Simon De Pury
Although we are being presented in Carnegie Hall, we have to furnish a budget for our guest stars, and for the music writing - which is a huge budget in any orchestra that plays popular music. ~ Skitch Henderson
Popular Music quotes by Skitch Henderson
Youth has many glories, but judgement is not one of them, and no amount of electronic amplification can turn a belch into an aria. ~ Alan Jay Lerner
Popular Music quotes by Alan Jay Lerner
The history of popular music is littered with great partnerships. Rodgers had his Hammerstein, Lennon had his McCartney, and Lloyd Webber had ... his photocopier ... ~ Humphrey Lyttelton
Popular Music quotes by Humphrey Lyttelton
The problem of expressing the contributions that Benny Carter has made to popular music is so tremendous it completely fazes me, so extraordinary a musician is he. ~ Duke Ellington
Popular Music quotes by Duke Ellington
I think I'm writing for an intelligent stranger - you know, in my mind I can't remember who coined that phrase first. I don't want to write anything that makes me cringe, first of all. I cringe a lot - mostly when I hear popular music. ~ Jason Isbell
Popular Music quotes by Jason Isbell
I think we as a band, as individuals, understand that all popular music stems from blues and jazz and even pop, but rock 'n' roll especially comes from blues. ~ David Johansen
Popular Music quotes by David Johansen
Just because your electronics are better than ours, you aren't necessarily superior in any way. Look, imagine that you humans are a man in LA with a brand-new Trujillo and we are a nuhp in New York with a beat-up old Ford. The two fellows start driving toward St. Louis. Now, the guy in the Trujillo is doing 120 on the interstates, and the guy in the Ford is putting along at 55; but the human in the Trujillo stops in Vegas and puts all of his gas money down the hole of a blackjack table, and the determined little nuhp cruises along for days until at last he reaches his goal. It's all a matter of superior intellect and the will to succeed.
Your people talk a lot about going to the stars, but you just keep putting your money into other projects, like war and popular music and international athletic events and resurrecting the fashions of previous decades. If you wanted to go into space, you would have. ~ George Alec Effinger
Popular Music quotes by George Alec Effinger
The first time I started choreographing was in the dark, in my living room, with the lights completely out, to some popular music on the radio. I put the radio on full blast and I started moving. I didn't know what it looked like. I didn't want to see it ... I had to start in the dark. ~ Judith Jamison
Popular Music quotes by Judith Jamison
The very first hit factory was T.B. Harms, a Tin Pan Alley publishing company overseen by Max Dreyfus. With staff writers like Jerome Kern, George and Ira Gershwin, Cole Porter, and Richard Rodgers, T.B. Harms was the dominant publisher of popular music in the early twentieth century. Dreyfus called his writers "the boys" and installed pianos for them to compose on around the office on West Twenty-Eighth, the street that gave Tin Pan Alley its name, allegedly for the tinny-sounding pianos passersby heard from the upper-story windows of the row houses. The sheet-music sellers also employed piano players in their street-level stores, who would perform the Top 40 of the 1920s for browsing customers. ~ John Seabrook
Popular Music quotes by John Seabrook
I love the history of popular music. I love to know what people are listening to, even if I don't like it. ~ Tim Rice
Popular Music quotes by Tim Rice
We were playing popular music, but we were doing our own arrangements because we were too lazy to sit down and figure out the originals. ~ Tommy Shaw
Popular Music quotes by Tommy Shaw
Popular music is a microcosm of the culture, Eliza. It reflects the mentality of the population. ~ Tiffanie DeBartolo
Popular Music quotes by Tiffanie DeBartolo
Explicit material is available in a variety of forums - from popular music to television to the Internet. ~ Tipper Gore
Popular Music quotes by Tipper Gore
[Europe has] this tradition of self revelation in popular music. We have it here - it's called Country Western Music ... I think that's where the deeper and more complex subjects are treated. ~ Leonard Cohen
Popular Music quotes by Leonard Cohen
If our cultural lives are sick, it is likely to be an impediment to our spiritual lives. Much popular culture promotes a spirit of restlessness. That is likely to be an obstacle to prayer, to concerned reflection, and to attentiveness to the needs of others. Popular culture also has an extremely limited range of sensibilities. I have never heard a work of popular music that has the depth of poignancy of the opening bars of Brahms's 'German Requiem,' for example, with its text, 'Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.' I learn something about mourning when I hear Brahms; I know of no similar lessons in popular music. ~ Kenneth A. Myers
Popular Music quotes by Kenneth A. Myers
Popular music has always been rooted in the blues, whether it's Adele or Led Zeppelin or Sam Cooke. It's just the beat that changes. ~ L.A. Reid
Popular Music quotes by L.A. Reid
I have to say I owe my career to the master composers of the Great American Songbook who have written such high-quality songs - the best popular music ever composed. ~ Tony Bennett
Popular Music quotes by Tony Bennett
But where should he begin? - Well, then, the trouble with the English was their:

Their:

In a word, Gibreel solemnly pronounced, their weather.

Gibreel Farishta floating on his cloud formed the opinion that the moral fuzziness of the English was meteorologically induced. 'When the day is not warmer than the night,' he reasoned, 'when the light is not brighter than the dark, when the land is not drier than the sea, then clearly a people will lose the power to make distinctions, and commence to see everything - from political parties to sexual partners to religious beliefs - as much-the-same, nothing-to-choose, give-or-take. What folly! For truth is extreme, it is so and not thus, it is him and not her; a partisan matter, not a spectator sport. It is, in brief, heated. City,' he cried, and his voice rolled over the metropolis like thunder, 'I am going to tropicalize you.'

Gibreel enumerated the benefits of the proposed metamorphosis of London into a tropical city: increased moral definition, institution of a national siesta, development of vivid and expansive patterns of behaviour among the populace, higher-quality popular music, new birds in the trees (macaws, peacocks, cockatoos), new trees under the birds (coco-palms, tamarind, banyans with hanging beards). Improved street-life, outrageously coloured flowers (magenta, vermilion, neon-green), spider-monkeys in the oaks. A new mass market for domestic air-conditioning units, ceiling ~ Salman Rushdie
Popular Music quotes by Salman Rushdie
I don't see that there are any particular changes in popular music. ~ Lester Bangs
Popular Music quotes by Lester Bangs
The idea that rhythm is intrinsically human - not just primitive - that we all have hearts that beat at a steady rate and don't stop ... reminds me of life itself. In that sense my music is like certain popular music where the rhythm drives from beginning to end. ~ Michael Torke
Popular Music quotes by Michael Torke
In each medium - popular music, literature, and visual art, respectively - the woman has broken form, shed a skin, with each phase of her career, whereas the man has returned to ever-deepening iterations of the sound or sentence or imagery with which he began. ~ Stacey D'Erasmo
Popular Music quotes by Stacey D'Erasmo
In my opinion, it seems like music is taking a bit of a turn. Look at Mumford and Sons, and the Lumineers. It seems like people and music fans are enjoying the more artistic side of music, and that popular music is taking a turn and accepting that, so I appreciate that. ~ Phillip Phillips
Popular Music quotes by Phillip Phillips
I like musicianship, and it's quite lacking in most modern popular music. You're always safe with old Chicago, the Allman Brothers, Gov't Mule, or Tower of Power. ~ Mark Rippetoe
Popular Music quotes by Mark Rippetoe
It really is, to see that this kind of music is still so popular. ~ Wanda Jackson
Popular Music quotes by Wanda Jackson
Making an album should be an honest experience. It shouldn't be about trying to gauge where popular music is today; it should be about artistic expression and putting down what you want to put down. ~ Scott Weiland
Popular Music quotes by Scott Weiland
I particularly enjoy cello music because our daughter plays the cello. I have listened to her practice for so many hours that I am familiar with the music written for that instrument. I am also fond of the popular music of the 1930s because my future husband and I danced to it so many Saturday nights when we were in college. ~ Beverly Cleary
Popular Music quotes by Beverly Cleary
Opera halls, ballets, and large art museums receive more funding
and not all from the government
than do popular art and what might be considered popular music venues ... But there are plenty of innovative musicians ... who have had as much trouble surviving as symphony orchestras and ballet companies ... Why not invest in the future of music, instead of building fortresses to preserve its past? ... The 2011 annual operating budget for the New York Metropolitan Opera is $325 million; a big chunk of that, $182 million, came from donations from wealthy patrons. ~ David Byrne
Popular Music quotes by David Byrne
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
Popular Music quotes by Thurston Moore
The great thing about the arts, and especially popular music, is that it really does cut across genres and races and classes. ~ Bonnie Raitt
Popular Music quotes by Bonnie Raitt
It was Muddy Waters who took the Delta blues north to Chicago, electrified the sound, and changed the course of popular music as we know it. That's pretty much the judgment of history, and it is mine as well. ~ Tim Cahill
Popular Music quotes by Tim Cahill
But we can't ignore our social needs either. We have to stop people from abusing the welfare system. We have to provide food and shelter for the homeless and oppose racial discrimination and promote civil rights while also promoting equal rights for women but change the abortion laws to protect the right to life yet still somehow maintain women's freedom of choice. We also have to control the influx of illegal immigrants. We have to encourage a return to traditional moral values and curb graphic sex and violence on TV, in movies, in popular music, everywhere. Most importantly we have to promote general social concern and less materialism in young people. ~ Bret Easton Ellis
Popular Music quotes by Bret Easton Ellis
I am not concerned about the 80 BMP consistency law of popular music. I'm concerned with other things, and they're very valid. ~ Doseone
Popular Music quotes by Doseone
When I was growing up, music was music and there were no genres. We didn't look at it as country music. Popular music in Tuskegee was country music. So I didn't know it in categories. It was the radio. ~ Lionel Richie
Popular Music quotes by Lionel Richie
I come from a generation that was surrounded by popular music, but I don't know if anybody's ever going to move the ball forward as far and as fast as the Beatles did. ~ Steven Soderbergh
Popular Music quotes by Steven Soderbergh
I grew up on popular music, and rock-and-roll expresses very deep feelings of those people who don't have a lot. ~ Bobbie Ann Mason
Popular Music quotes by Bobbie Ann Mason
Popular music is popular because a lot of people like it. ~ Irving Berlin
Popular Music quotes by Irving Berlin
The de-spiritualization of asceticisms is probably the event in the current intellectual history of mankind that is the most comprehensive and, because of its large scale, the hardest to perceive, yet at once the most palpable and atmospherically powerful. Its counterpart is the informalization of spirituality - accompanied by its commercialization in the corresponding subcultures. The threshold values for these two tendencies provide the intellectual landmarks for the twentieth century: the first tendency is represented by sport, which has become a metaphor for achievement as such, and the second by popular music, that devotio postmoderna which covers the lives of contemporary individuals with unpredictable flashes of inner emergency. ~ Peter Sloterdijk
Popular Music quotes by Peter Sloterdijk
Rap has been a path between cultures in the best tradition of popular music. ~ Jay-Z
Popular Music quotes by Jay-Z
Mumford and Sons and Adele are both incredible artists and are great for popular music. There's a lot of club music with heavy beats, so to have that Mumford record and hear banjos being used is so cool. ~ Dave Haywood
Popular Music quotes by Dave Haywood
I don't have the slightest doubt that to tell a story like this, you couldn't do it with words. There are only 46 minutes of dialogue scenes in the film, and 113 of non-dialogue. There are certain areas of feeling and reality - or unreality or innermost yearning, whatever you want to call it - which are notably inaccessible to words. Music can get into these areas. Painting can get into them. Non-verbal forms of expression can. But words are a terrible straitjacket. It's interesting how many prisoners of that straitjacket resent its being loosened or taken off. There's a side to the human personality that somehow senses that wherever the cosmic truth may lie, it doesn't lie in A, B, C, D. It lies somewhere in the mysterious, unknowable aspects of thought and life and experience. Man has always responded to it. Religion, mythology, allegories - it's always been one of the most responsive chords in man. With rationalism, modern man has tried to eliminate it, and successfully dealt some pretty jarring blows to religion. In a sense, what's happening now in films and in popular music is a reaction to the stifling limitations of rationalism. One wants to break out of the clearly arguable, demonstrable things which really are not very meaningful, or very useful or inspiring, nor does one even sense any enormous truth in them. ~ Stanley Kubrick
Popular Music quotes by Stanley Kubrick
It doesn't take long to sum up the major theses of most popular music: he loves me; he left me; I need him; I needed him, but now I need his best friend. Rather limited scope. ~ Holly Near
Popular Music quotes by Holly Near
I would consider my music like, pop-R&B. So it can reach a lot of people. Pop is popular music. That's what it stands for. So I'm just making music that I know that I like, I know other people will like, and my fans will like. ~ Justin Bieber
Popular Music quotes by Justin Bieber
In the United States, many people said you can't have folk music in the United States because you don't have any peasant class. But the funny thing was, there were literally thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people who loved old time fiddling, ballads, banjo tunes, blues played on the guitar, spirituals and gospel hymns. These songs and music didn't fit into any neat category of art music nor popular music nor jazz. So gradually they said well let's call it folk music. ~ Pete Seeger
Popular Music quotes by Pete Seeger
Have you listened to the radio lately? Have you heard the canned, frozen and processed product being dished up to the world as American popular music today?
~ Billy Joel
Popular Music quotes by Billy Joel
Q. Which is my favorite country?
A. The United States of America. Not because I'm chauvinistic or xenophobic, but because I believe that we alone have it all, even if not to perfection. The U.S. has the widest possible diversity of spectacular scenery and depth of natural resources; relatively clean air and water; a fascinatingly heterogeneous population living in relative harmony; safe streets; few deadly communicable diseases; a functioning democracy; a superlative Constitution; equal opportunity in most spheres of life; an increasing tolerance of different races, religions, and sexual preferences; equal justice under the law; a free and vibrant press; a world-class culture in books,films, theater, museums, dance, and popular music; the cuisines of every nation; an increasing attention to health and good diet; an abiding entrepreneurial spirit; and peace at home. ~ Albert Podell
Popular Music quotes by Albert Podell
...his condition in Roanoke is a strong testament that lassitude, indifference and the peculiarities of his thought were primarily the consequences of his illness and not of the early attempts to treat it.

The popular view that anti-psychotics were chemical straight jackets that suppressed clear thinking and voluntary activity seems not to be borne out in Nash's case.

If anything, the only periods when he was relatively free of hallucinations, delusions and the erosion of will were the periods following either insulin treatment or the use of anti psychotics.

In other words, rather than reducing Nash to a zombie, medication seemed to reduce zombie like behavior. ~ Sylvia Nasar
Popular Music quotes by Sylvia Nasar
Well, Winnepeg has everything to do with my music in the sense it was where I was born and raised, cultured and all that sort of thing. A lot of my experiences come from Winnepeg. ~ Chantal Kreviazuk
Popular Music quotes by Chantal Kreviazuk
Stendhal wrote that music was the highest form of art and that all the other forms really wanted to be music. This was of course a Platonic idea, all the other art forms depict something else, music is the only one that is something in itself, it was absolutely incomparable. ~ Karl Ove Knausgaard
Popular Music quotes by Karl Ove Knausgaard
Iranians also see external reasons for caution. Analyst Foad Izadi at Tehran University says Iranians only need to look at the chaos plaguing the region to see how easily popular demands for change can get out of hand. ~ Lourdes Garcia-Navarro
Popular Music quotes by Lourdes Garcia-Navarro
All music is rehash. There are only a few notes. Just variations on a theme. Try to tell the kids in the Seventies who were screaming to the Bee Gees that their music was just The Beatles redone. There is nothing wrong with the Bee Gees. ~ John Lennon
Popular Music quotes by John Lennon
I don't want to put any pressure on the music; it's my hobby and my release - a thing that I love. ~ Iwan Rheon
Popular Music quotes by Iwan Rheon
I follow politics in a big way, and always have since I was a kid. I've got opinions, but they're opinions on both sides - not just anti-Republican, which is a real popular thing for a rap artist to do. If you dis Republicans, nobody will get mad. I think the two-party system sucks. It's absolutely ignorant. ~ Sir Mix-a-Lot
Popular Music quotes by Sir Mix-a-Lot
The evolution of the music is what allows it to survive. ~ Eric Church
Popular Music quotes by Eric Church
Once it was the fashion to represent villages as places inhabited by laughable, livable simpletons, unspotted by the worldliness of city life, though occasionally shrewd in rural concerns. Later it was the popular thing to show villages as rotten with vice, and especially such sexual vice ... incest, sodomy, bestiality, sadism, and masochism were supposed to rage behind lace curtains and in the haylofts, while a rigid piety was professed in the streets. ~ Robertson Davies
Popular Music quotes by Robertson Davies
So rather than really have, like a close relationship to anything that's coming out today, people are just, they've got it on as background music. It's kind of the same way the cabdrivers use music; it's very disposable. But, that doesn't mean there aren't a great number of artists who are doing things to change that. ~ Mos Def
Popular Music quotes by Mos Def
That which interests most people leaves me without any interest at all. This includes a list of things such as: social dancing, riding roller coasters, going to zoos, picnics, movies, planetariums, watching tv, baseball games; going to funerals, weddings, parties, basketball games, auto races, poetry readings, museums, rallies, demonstrations, protests, children's plays, adult plays ... I am not interested in beaches, swimming, skiing, Christmas, New Year's, the 4th of July, rock music, world history, space exploration, pet dogs, soccer, cathedrals and great works of Art. How can a man who is interested in almost nothing write about anything? Well, I do. I write and I write about what's left over: a stray dog walking down the street, a wife murdering her husband, the thoughts and feelings of a rapist as he bites into a hamburger sandwich; life in the factory, life in the streets and rooms of the poor and mutilated and the insane, crap like that, I write a lot of crap like that ~ Charles Bukowski
Popular Music quotes by Charles Bukowski
I hadn't known anything else, other than being an artist, and I needed to be a person for a while, really get to know myself without that whole thing [of selling music] surrounding me. ~ Tove Styrke
Popular Music quotes by Tove Styrke
I would love to be able to pursue music as a career but honestly, I'm just not good enough. ~ Shawn Ashmore
Popular Music quotes by Shawn Ashmore
