Liam’s Quotes

“To imagine that the United States somehow is inoculated from the virus of authoritarianism is to submit to misguided hubris.”

“It may go without saying that the majority of the musicians in this book hate "musicians". Hence walking into a music store of any kind besides a record shop is tantamount to visiting the dentist.”
― Eric Davidson, We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988-2001

“Communism would exit the world stage revealed for what it truly was: fascism, without fascism’s ability to make the trains run on time.”
― Robert D. Kaplan, Balkan Ghosts

“There are two categories of producers. Let me explain. [The} first one produces an artist the way they want to hear them, without a whole lot of regard to what the artist is really like, or how they see themselves. I'd like to think that I'm in the other category. I liked the artists that I produced – a lot, or else I wouldn't produce them, and what I wanted to do was enhance what they do already. I just wanted to make it better, more polished, put the best frame around it I could.”
― Shel Talmy
