peacedude Posted March 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 "Politics isn't the answer to everything. That's like the 1,000 clowns at the circus who get out of the tiny car, and you're supposed to be amazed. That's what politics is. They don't really stick their heads in the tiger's mouth. Politics is a bunch of show and blow for people who don't understand. The real decisions are not conducted at the polling place; they're conducted over a glass of Perrier in some luxurious resort where people with lots of bucks decide how they're going to chop up the world. We're witnessing the President in an extremely impotent position just because somebody thousands of miles away wants to raise the price of a few, basic raw materials that are necessary to U.S. industry. He can't please everybody. He can't please the Arabs and he can't make things any better for the U.S. industrial guys who are putting pressure on him. The people who voted him in are scratching their heads and going, 'What's he going to do for us?' " - Relix Magazine Nov. 1979 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Not Bob Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 I'm probably fudging this, but my favorite is "Most rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't speak for the benefit of people who can't read."
