In this section you can read quotes that the editors from Geiger has selected.
| "What we need are more rock 'stars' willing to make fools of themselves, absolutely jump off the deep end and make the audience embarrassed for them, if necessary, so long as they have not one shred of dignity or mythic corona left. Because then the whole damn pompous edifice of this supremely ridiculous rock 'n' roll industry, set up to grab bucks by conning youth and encouraging fantasies of a puissant 'youth culture,' would collapse, and with it would collapse the careers of the hyped talentless nonentities who breed off of it." Rock critic Lester Bangs on autenticity |
 | "I love to do concerts, to manifest a moving occasion, but I really miss my cats. It doesn't seem to be an equitable trade." David Tibet (Current 93) on touring vs. pets |
 | "Let's impeach the President for lyin' / and misleading our country into war / abusing all the power that we gave him / and shipping all our money out the door // Who's the man who hired all the criminals? / The White House shadows who hide behind closed doors / They bend the facts to fit with their new story / of why we had to send our men to war // Let's impeach the President for spyin' / on citizens inside their homes / breaking every law in the country / tapping our computers and telephones" Neil Young getting policital on "Let's impeach the President" (Living with war, 2006) |
 | "Beauty is the new punk rock... The general feeling these days is trust no-one, all the media is lying to to you... there's such a sense of of distrust in the air. For me, the most subversive you can be these days is to be totally honest, and to really laud beauty." Joan As Policewoman |
 | "It should be played very LOUD, with a mite of extra bass. If the neighbours complain, and they live two miles away, it’s about the right level." Phil Niblock in the sleevenotes to the Ghosts and Others-album |
 | "To be really safe you should always carry a bomb on an airplane. Because the chances of there being one bomb on a plane are pretty small. But the chances of two bombs are almost minuscule. So by carrying a bomb on a plane, the odds of your becoming a hostage or of getting blown up are astronomically reduced." Logic thinking from Laurie Anderson |
