David Byrne Quotes About Attitude

Quotes about: Attitude

• Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.

  David Byrne

  Attitude, Musical, Style

• It's a fundamental, social attitude that the 1% supports symphonies and operas and doesn't support Johnny learning to program hip-hop beats. When I put it like that, it sounds like, 'Well, yeah,' but you start to think, 'Why not, though?' What makes one more valuable than another?

  Attitude, Thinking, Symphony

• As I define it, rock and roll is dead. The attitude isn't dead, but the music is no longer vital. It doesn't have the same meaning. The attitude, though, is still very much alive - and it still informs other kinds of music.

  Rolling Stone Magazine, December 13, 1990.

• Punk. . .was more a kind of do-it-yourself, anyone-can-do-it attitude. If you only played two notes on the guitar, you could figure out a way to make a song out of that, and that's what it was all about.
