"And the world was no longer the old world. It was about to end. And it was quite in order that an hour before its end the valleys should prove the mountains wrong, the young, the old, the stupid, the sensible."

If you look over his credits, it's kinda astonishing how many all-time psychotronic classics Thompson shot - truly the John Alton of trash

When the history of this time is written down, the cowardice will be remembered as much as the fascism

Love is made by two people, in different kinds of solitude. It can be in a crowd, but in an oblivious crowd. (Louis Aragon)

One full moon night Arthur Lyman #BOTD had "too many Mai-Tais to drink," and when they began playing, he let out a few bird calls. "The next thing you know, the audience started to answer me back with all kinds of weird cries. It was great." These bird calls became a trademark of Lyman's sound.
