Famous quotes containing the words drama and/or music:
“War is the supreme drama of a completely mechanized society.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“As I define it, rock & 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.”
—David Byrne (b. 1952)
