Famous quotes containing the words progressive, rock and/or radio:
“I dont have any doubts that there will be a place for progressive white people in this country in the future. I think the paranoia common among white people is very unfounded.

“O what unlucky streak
Twisting inside me, made me break the line?
What was the rock my gliding childhood struck,
And what bright unreal path has led me here?”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)

—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
