Musicians Controversial Quotes

Controversy is a last resort for the talentless.

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all time are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all time. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics, instead, are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers.

It was the mutual study of the Spear and the significance of its legend and their strikingly opposite views about it which finally parted these inseperable friends -- the master musician (Wagner) and the cynnical philosopher (Nietzsche). A parting which led them both to experience a bitter and pathetic lonliness, and later a growing hatred and contempt for one another which spilled over into a stormy controversy to shatter the emerging Pan-Germanic mystic-pagan idealism to its very foundations.

Christian sources, both literary and iconographic, do in fact draw parallels between Orpheus and Christ, just as Jewish art draws them between Orpheus and David. These, however, normally refer to the story of Orpheus as a musician whose playing could tame wild animals. Early Christian texts and images then adapted this theme to describe Christ as a “new Orpheus” who could tame human souls.

What the band played has always been more a matter of controversy than whether it played at all. This is sometimes presented as an issue raised by modern historians, but it was there from the very beginning in the divergence of the accounts given by Harold Bride to the New York Times and by the survivors on the Carpathia to Carlos Hurd for the Pultizer newspapers. Had the musicians gone down playing a tune known as “Autumn” or the music of “Nearer, My God, to Thee”? The public inquiries in America and England raised the additional issue of whether they had played any religious music at all. Some witnesses claimed that they’d stuck to popular tunes and that hymns would have been inappropriate at such a time of despair.

Brahms is the first great musician in whom historical significance and artistic significance no longer converge as one and the same. He was not to blame for this. Rather it was the fault of his times. Even Beethoven’s most abnormal conceptions were born of the demands of his time and derived from the linguistic and expressive possibilities of that time. Although Beethoven’s will, a creative will so timeless and touched with insight into the future, was somehow in complete accordance with the will of his time; Beethoven was “sustained” by his time. Wagner’s boldest and most coherent works not only articulated the powerful personality of their creator, they revealed the will and possibilities of his time. There is a consonance between personal will and the general will of the time in Beethoven and Wagner, and later in Strauss, Reger, Debussy and Stravinsky. In Brahms, for the first time, these wills become separated; not because Brahms was most profoundly a man of his time, but because the musical possibilities of his time had taken a different direction from his own inclinations, and did not satisfy him. He is the first artist and creator who transcends his historical and musical function.

if we let ourselves be guided by the atonal musician we walk as it were through a dense forest. The strangest flowers and plants attract our attention by the side of the path. But we do not know where we are going nor whence we have come. The listener is seized by a feeling of being lost, of being at the mercy of the forces of primeval existence. It seems as though the atonal musician had not paid attention to the listener as an independent personality: the listener is faced with an all-powerful world of chaos. But of course it must be admitted that this strikes a chord in the apprehensions of modern man!

To initiate its EIR program, USCIS would also turn to an agitator. Brad Feld, an early-stage investor and prolific blogger, had become exasperated when officers of two promising startups under his watch were forced to return to their home countries because they couldn’t secure visas. He shared their story on a blog, attracting the attention of other entrepreneurs, including Ries, who couldn’t understand why there was no visa category for an entrepreneur with American investors and employees. In lieu of that category, many entrepreneurs were at the mercy of visa examiners who didn’t understand how they operated. At the point of visa application, many startups had not hired many employees or generated much revenue. This confused traditional visa examiners, who would then ask odd and irrelevant questions, often before a denial. To give just one example, it’s been years since AOL required a compact disc to use its service. And yet, visa examiners were demanding proof of a warehouse, where software startups would store their CD inventory for shipping to customers. As Feld’s idea of a “startup visa” became intertwined with, and paralyzed by, the broader debate on comprehensive immigration reform, the USCIS, with White House support, sought to accomplish something administratively within the existing law. It instituted an EIR program, to organize and educate a specialty unit of immigration officers to handle entrepreneur and startup nonimmigrant visa cases.22 The project also called for educating entrepreneurs about the available options, one of which they may have overlooked. For instance, the O-1 visa, which was reserved “for those with extraordinary ability,” had proven a successful channel for actors, athletes, musicians, directors, scientists, artists, businessmen, engineers, and others who could provide ample evidence of their unique and impressive abilities, attributes, awards, and accolades. It had even created some controversy, when visa evaluators took the term “model” to an extreme, awarding a visa to one of Hugh Hefner’s ex-girlfriends, a Playboy centerfold from Canada named Shera Berchard.23 If she was confident enough to assert and explain her “extraordinary ability,” why weren’t entrepreneurs?

as Black musicians and bands were dealing with a sense of impending doom, a little over a decade after integration. After releasing the hit albums Dirty Mind (1980) and Controversy (1981), Prince, a 23-year-old virtuosic musician who had made a name for himself as a controversial and sexually expressive figure in a largely conservative music industry, began to work with a Linn LM-1 drum computer, which he would route and transform through guitar pedals to create a customizable mobile studio unit that allowed him to combined the rock, disco, and funk of the ’70s into a malleable and processed uproar at the end of the world. “My goal is to excite and to provoke on every level. … The most

Here's a **2000-word composition** on the topic: --- # The Benefits of Buying Verified OnlyFans Accounts ## Introduction In the digital age, content creation has undergone a significant transformation. Among the platforms revolutionizing how creators monetize their work is **OnlyFans**, a subscription-based content platform that allows users to earn money directly from their fanbase. It has become especially popular among adult content creators, fitness coaches, musicians, artists, and influencers. As the platform grows, so does the competitive landscape, pushing many aspiring creators and marketers to look for quicker ways to gain traction—one of which includes **buying verified OnlyFans accounts**. While the idea of purchasing an established account may seem controversial to some, this strategy offers various practical benefits, especially for those who want to bypass the slow initial growth phase. In this composition, we will explore the multifaceted advantages of buying verified OnlyFans accounts, including time efficiency, credibility, revenue potential, brand leverage, and marketing benefits. --- ## 1. Understanding Verified OnlyFans Accounts Before diving into the benefits, it's essential to understand what a **verified OnlyFans account** is. Verification on OnlyFans involves submitting identification documents and personal information to prove the identity of the creator. This process is required for all content creators who wish to post and monetize their content. When people talk about buying "verified accounts," they typically refer to accounts that have: * Passed the OnlyFans verification process * An established username or brand * Sometimes include followers or paying subscribers * Possibly a content history and interactions Buying such an account gives the buyer a shortcut to start engaging and monetizing without going through the tedious initial setup. --- ## 2. Saves Time and Effort ### Bypassing the Startup Phase Building an OnlyFans account from scratch takes considerable time and effort. New creators must: * Set up their profile * Get verified * Create content consistently * Promote their page on social media * Wait weeks or months for any traction This beginning stage can be discouraging and financially draining. By purchasing a verified and possibly pre-followed account, creators skip the slow buildup phase and can start earning immediately. ### Instant Monetization Since the account is already verified and active, the buyer can begin uploading content and marketing right away. This is especially valuable for entrepreneurs or agencies who manage multiple creators and need a rapid deployment of accounts. --- ## 3. Immediate Credibility and Trust ### Social Proof New accounts often struggle with **social proof**—the psychological phenomenon where people follow the actions of others. An account with zero followers and no likes appears untrustworthy. A verified account with followers, posts, and engagement looks more legitimate, encouraging potential subscribers to sign up. ### Appealing to Collaborators Influencers, photographers, and other content creators are more likely to collaborate with a verified account that has a following and a professional appearance. This increases networking opportunities and potential revenue.
