“ Newspapers want you to believe that being successful in 2008 would require them to see into the future. This is a lie. It would merely require them to see into last week. The pieces are all here, and there are thousands of people who want to do the work. It’s just that for every one of them there’s a counterpart, working hard to make sure we keep serving two masters. ”

“ You can go through the whole new Radiohead album and try and tell me what they’re saying, and all you’ll get over and over again is things are miserable, don’t try, things suck. And it’s all gray. There’s nothing there. Never before has there been a “greatest band in the world” who had so little to say about anything. ”
