Random quote of the day:

“Our purpose is to educate as well as to entertain. Painless preaching is as good a term as any for what we do. If you’re going to come away from a party singing the lyrics of a song, it is better that you sing of self-pride like “We’re a Winner” instead of ‘Do the Boo-ga-loo!’”

—Curtis Mayfield, as quoted in The Sociology of Rock by Simon Frith
