Breakdown in Paradise is the eighth album by the Canadian rock band Chilliwack, released in 1979. The album was originally intended to be called Road to Paradise, but the death of Mushroom Records head Shelly Siegel in January 1979 made the collapse of the label, which had released each of Chilliwack's last three albums, all but certain. As a result, three of the longstanding band members left the group, leaving only Bill Henderson and Brian MacLeod from the prior lineup. Because of the label's financial problems, there were no real hits from the album.
Famous quotes containing the words breakdown in, breakdown and/or paradise:
“Where mass opinion dominates the government, there is a morbid derangement of the true functions of power. The derangement brings about the enfeeblement, verging on paralysis, of the capacity to govern. This breakdown in the constitutional order is the cause of the precipitate and catastrophic decline of Western society. It may, if it cannot be arrested and reversed, bring about the fall of the West.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“The ideal of brotherhood of man, the building of the Just City, is one that cannot be discarded without lifelong feelings of disappointment and loss. But, if we are to live in the real world, discard it we must. Its very nobility makes the results of its breakdown doubly horrifying, and it breaks down, as it always will, not by some external agency but because it cannot work.”
—Kingsley Amis (1922–1995)
“The academy is not paradise. But learning is a place where paradise can be created.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
