England Beat

Famous quotes containing the words england and/or beat:

“What a pity it is that we have no amusements in England but vice and religion!”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)

“We fight our way through the massed and leveled collective safe taste of the Top 40, just looking for a little something we can call our own. But when we find it and jam the radio to hear it again it isn’t just ours—it is a link to thousands of others who are sharing it with us. As a matter of a single song this might mean very little; as culture, as a way of life, you can’t beat it.”
—Greil Marcus (b. 1945)
