Wagner never could get over the idea that in order for mankind to be saved a woman needed to pay the price. From “Tannhäuser” to “Götterdammerung,” his works’ motto could well be “It ain’t over ’til the heroine dies.” https://t.co/OMypw4GxQf

Back in ‘96, Monk and I were working on a thing called cubist rock n’ roll. This guy Max heard some and said, “how is that cubist???” Today, I would respond, “it’s rock n’ roll, not art history!”

@TheKinks That's what I keep telling people!

Much ink has been spilled over @johnlennon’s #coldturkey, but scant attention is paid to its #bside, “Cold Chicken,” a whimsical account of a midnight snack.
