Quotation of the Day for May 5, 2012"I think they grow out of a bad idea, the idea that poetry--a concept not too well understood--can be incorporated into rock. This idea is old fashioned and literary in the worst sense." - Robert Christgau, rock critic, from the essay "Rock Lyrics are Poetry (Maybe)". The essay was reprinted in The Age of Rock, edited by Jonathan Eisen (Vintage, 1969). Submitted by: Terry Labach Apr. 25, 2012  |
