To enable man to understand the society of the past and to increase his mastery over the society of the present is the dual function of history.
Edward Hallett Carr

Beaumont Newhall

To me, ballads are special, because you can have a pop song that’ll be know for three weeks and then you’ll hear nothing else about it. Nobody else will record it and it’ll just be gone. But if you do a good ballad, it’ll be in the world forever.
Michael Jackson

Everything is an idea for something, something that touches the imagination, a fact that seems relevant or maybe just a statement I find interesting — either because it resonates or because I disagree.

R.E.M.
-
I think I was making a Stephen Fearing record, and I mentioned to someone that the Tragically Hip were talking to me about working with them. The Canadians in the room couldn't believe it, as if the Beatles were getting back together again and asking me to produce them.

Steve Berlin
Los Lobos

Ravi Shankar
