The only thing workers have to bargain with is their skill or their labor. Denied the right to withhold it as a last resort, they become powerless. The strike is therefore not a breakdown of collective bargaining-it is the indispensable cornerstone of that process.
Robbie Robertson
It would be nice to abandon the verse-chorus-bridge structure completely, and make it so none of these things are definable. . . . Make up new names for them. Instead of a bridge, you can call it a highway, or an overpass. . . . Music should never be harmless. . . . I remember from my earliest years, people speaking, you know, in a certain kind of rhythm and telling stories and sharing experiences in a way that was different in Indian country than it was other places. And I was really struck by this and obviously very affected by it, because it's always come out in my songs.
