“Modern music is people who can’t think signing artists who can’t write songs to make records for people who can’t hear.” Frank Zappa
“The hardest thing in the world to do in this business is start a band nobody’s heard of.” Tom Whalley, Interscope Records
“If we do our job…Music’s not black or white, it’s green.” Jim Caparro, PGD
