Peek inside the heads of Christian bloggers, it is a bit of a long read, but the narrow mindness is impressive… Christian Blogger Quotes.
- Simon Reynolds.
“Rip It Up and Start Again” is the first book-length exploration of the wildly adventurous music created in the years after punk. Renowned music journalist Simon Reynolds celebrates the futurist spirit of such bands as Joy Division, Gang of Four, Talking Heads, and Devo, which resulted in endless innovations in music, lyrics, performance, and style and continued into the early eighties with the video-savvy synth- pop of groups such as Human League, Depeche Mode, and Soft Cell, whose success coincided with the rise of MTV. Full of insight and anecdote and populated by charismatic characters, “Rip It Up” re-creates the idealism, urgency, and excitement of one of the most important and challenging periods in the history of popular music. Well thats says it all.
In between my biz traveling I found some time to go to see Henry Rollins in the Hamburg culture Temple “The Schauspielhaus”. Usually I would only go to a hypocrite building like that to bomb or burn it, but since this was the only chance to see Rollins I had to jump over my shadow and mingle with the intellectual Hamburger crowed. And it was well worth it; we got a 3 hour shower of Henrys latest adventures, travel stories, rock and roll stories and politic views. He was on stage for about 3 hours, hardly moving except for his mouth which was like a machine gun firing words into the audience. It was a lot, and it was worth it. He is just a great person with a good sense of humor, smart and driven. No nonsense, no rock artist bullshit, no ego tripping; Just do it !
