Here's how I understand music. If you can play the same bunch of noise twice, it's music. To go beyond that is supercilious and pontificating.
John Lydon
Image
I hate the technological rip-offs that pass for music formats these days, and go back to vinyl to hear a good record because the sound is always so much fuller. I don't even like listening to music in the car.
John Lydon

As a young concert-going person, I was never enamoured with celebrities who would walk out to feature in certain songs and then walk off.

I'm no one's lap dog, you can't put me on a leash.
