Ry Cooder Quotes
Most folks, when they see movies or hear records, need something that they find pulls them in, draws them in, and appeals to them beyond just the notes. For a record to be memorable and great, it has to have something of this quality.

And the people that inhabit this environment have... almost a message for the rest of the world.
