Quote of the Day

“In the late ’60s and ’70s, the room had to be shaped. People would spend fortunes on making the actual room a certain shape, all the audio-dynamical shapes. I think architects made a fortune in that ten-year period. It didn’t do much for the music; you know, music is either happening or it’s not.”- Jon Anderson of Yes
