Favorite Quote: I have 3, so deal with it! "Rock'n'Roll has become an artificial experience. It's got nothing to do with rebellion. Rock music is just part of mass culture now. It's all acceptable. Nothing is extreme, dangerous, or subversive." ~Black Francis~, "Reality is just a crutch for people who can't handle the Pixies" ~Ted Mico, Melody Maker, 1991, and "American MTV is inundated with all this fake hard rock and HM. Where do all these bands come from?" ~Black Francis~.
