I Can Guarantee You One Thing, We

In Fact I Think Now We've Reached A Point Now, Where The Powers That Be Really Have Sort Of Vested Interest In All Of Us Being Stoned Out As Much As Possible All The Time So We Don't Know What's Going On, And We Don't Care.

I'm Really Schizophrenic About That, Because On The One Hand I Would Say, Yes There Is, There's Something Inherently, Even Violent About It, It's Wild And Raw And All This.

Good Rock 'n' Roll Is Something That Makes You Feel Alive. It's Something That's Human, And I Think That Most Music Today Isn't. ... To Me Good Rock 'n' Roll Also Encompasses Other Things, Like Hank Williams And Charlie Mingus And A Lot Of Things That Aren't Strictly Defined As Rock 'n' Roll. Rock 'n' Roll Is An Attitude, It's Not A Musical Form Of A Strict Sort. It's A Way Of Doing Things, Of Approaching Things. Writing Can Be Rock 'n' Roll, Or A Movie Can Be Rock 'n' Roll. It's A Way Of Living Your Life.

Personally I Feel That Real Rock 'n' Roll May Be On The Way Out, Just Like Adolescence As A Relatively Innocent Transitional Period Is On The Way Out. What We Have Instead Is A Small Island Of New Free Music Surrounded By Some Good Reworkings Of Past Idioms And A Vast Sargasso Sea Of Absolute Garbage.

That's One Reason Why It's Pretty Worthless, I Can't Totally Buy It, If You Think About It, It's Things Like The Phil Spector Records. On One Level They Were Rebellion, On Another Level They Were Keeping The Teenager In His Place.
