Rock & Roll is not sedate, not safe, has truly nothing to do with money or anything. It’s like wind, rain, fire – it’s elemental. Fourteen-year old kids, they don’t think, they feel. Rock & Roll is fire. It’s the attitude. It’s thumbing your nose at the world. It’s a load. It’s such a load that it burns people out after a few years. Even the best of ‘em burn out. People get old – they forget what it’s like to be a kid, they’re responsible, they’re this and they’re that….You can’t have it both ways. You’re a rock and roller. Or you’re not. Neil Young, Canadian Musician

That is missing in today’s technology for music, although many things have come along to replace it and distract from its absence. Neil Young, Canadian Musician
