Excerpts
“Were we a curiosity at first? We always had big audiences from the beginning. That was because were were girls, I think. But, obviously, we were not just any old girls.”
Viv Albertine, The Slits, page 18
“Never write on paper anything you could not draw a picture of.”
William S. Burroughs, page 27
“…we do not consider ourselves part of rock and roll with its dingy red and blue lights in a little black cavern. we want to take music back out into the open more in the fresh air where it came from.”
Viv Albertine, The Slits, page 19
