Not to disclose my past in regards to the "Rock and Roll" culture, here's a quote that has always shed a very grim light for me on this decadent culture...
“Rock has always been the devil’s music, you can’t convince me that it isn’t. I honestly believe everything I’ve said—I believe rock and roll is dangerous. … I feel that we’re only heralding something even darker than ourselves” (DAVID BOWIE, Rolling Stone, February 12, 1976, p. 83).
There are many more examples like this, but this one has stuck with me.
