Saul Williams
It's not the rules everywhere, you know? That's not the rules everywhere - that things have to be dumbed down in order to become massively popular. And that hasn't always been the rule, even in America.
Saul Williams
Niggy Tardust' is the voice of a generation, a generation that does not define itself simply by what it's born into.
