The fact is that all the recording science and technology in the world is no substitute for a good song or for real feeling.

All the technique that exists won't make it any good; it'll just make it technological. All the production values you add won't do anything except make it glossy.

The cause of production of real art is the artist's inner need to express a feeling that has accumulated...The cause of counterfeit art, as of prostitution, is gain. The consequence of true art is the introduction of a new feeling into the intercourse of life... The consequences of counterfeit art are the perversion of man, pleasure which never satisfies, and the weakening of man's spiritual strength.
