Booze is the greatest of all equalizers. Rich drunks and poor drunks both pass out the same way.
Chuck KlostermanWhat music "means" is almost completely dependent on the people who sell it and the people who buy it, not the people who make it. Our greatest artists are the ones who understand how they can be interesting and unique within those limitations.
Chuck KlostermanLet's face it: Sadness and evil are always more believable than happiness and love. When a movie reviewer calls a film "realistic," everyone knows what that means--it means the movie has an unhappy ending.
