Sonic Youth/Talk

Oh well. There was SYs shot at glory and fame, but you kind of get the impression from some things the members write, like Thurston, that when they wrestle with their souls about fame and glory, they try to not get too famous and glorified.

There was/is a great deal of pressure in America to destroy oneself, physically, spiritually, emotionally, whatever. In my humble opinion the independence, stability, and self respect of the people in Sonic Youth gave out some parcel of hope that there was another way of living life.... On the other hand, they are just a music band made of normal people with normal things on their mind like everyone else... but maybe that gave fans even more hope? Intersting sentiments but, alas, not encyclopaedic... or neutral.. sjc
