From Wikiquote (Redirected from Rock)

• "In fact rock, rather than being an example of how freedom can be achieved within the capitalist structure, is an example of how capitalism can, almost without conscious effort, deceive those whom it oppresses.... So effective has the rock industry been in encouraging the spirit of optimistic youth take-over that rock's truly hard political edge, its constant exploration of the varieties of youthful frustration, has been ignored and softened."
  • Michael Lydon, quoted in The Sociology of Rock by Simon Frith, 1978, ISBN 0094602204

• "Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is THE BEST..."
  • Frank Zappa

• "Rock stars, is there anything they don't know?"
  • Homer Simpson, "Lisa the Vegetarian", 10/15/1995

• "Video games are bad for you? That's what they said about rock n' roll!"
  • Shigeru Miyamoto

• "If it's too loud, then you're too old."
  • Ted Nugent

• "Kiss the ass of metal you fucking jerkoffs!"
  • George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher

• "Ever since I was 12 years old, I've had to defend my love of heavy metal against those who say it's a less valid form of music. My answer now is that you either feel it, or you don't. If metal doesn't give you that overwhelming surge of power and make the hair stand up on the back of your neck, you might never get it. And you know what? That's ok; because judging by the 40,000 metalheads around me, we're doing just fine without you."
