There are some Rolling Stones songs that are just stunners.
John Lydon
Image
Records were vitally important to the development of music and of all music cultures. With that being pushed by the wayside, I can't see an iPod uniting us. In fact it separates us, the streets are full of people bumping into lamp posts, listening to their own little universe, and there's no sharing in that.

Don't accept the old order. Get rid of it.
John Lydon
Image
This is a very difficult thing to remain independent and persistent.
John Lydon

The record companies fell apart - quite deservedly. Their corrupting, all-binding contract nonsense had to stop.
John Lydon
