When I say rock 'n' roll I don't mean just a band playing songs — I mean a universal community through sound, energy exchange and rhythm. Some kind of common understanding. The sense of being together at something we're all one in. And it's not hippie bullshit: there is something inherent in all of us that connects all of us.
Patti SmithMelody Maker (March 1978)
