Quotation of the Day for August 9, 2014



Q. You once cited diverse influences like Hank Williams, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, the Incredible String Band and early Pink Floyd. That's pretty eclectic.

A. I'm trying to tap the source, not steal it. You think of the Beatles, and they were stealing from Bo Diddley and great sources. All American music basically comes from oppressed people and slaves.

- Joziah Longo, in a New York Times interview with E. Kyle Minor. Longo leads the band The Slambovian Circus of Dreams (AKA The Grand Slambovians)
