Live Audiences

Famous quotes containing the words live and/or audiences:

    by and by, the cause of my disease
    Gives me a pang that inwardly doth sting,
    When that I think what grief it is again
    To live and lack the thing should rid my pain.
    Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)

    Both cultures encourage innovation and experimentation, but are likely to reject the innovator if his innovation is not accepted by audiences. High culture experiments that are rejected by audiences in the creator’s lifetime may, however, become classics in another era, whereas popular culture experiments are forgotten if not immediately successful. Even so, in both cultures innovation is rare, although in high culture it is celebrated and in popular culture it is taken for granted.
    Herbert J. Gans (b. 1927)
