More From Salman Rushdie

There are some authors who contend that meanings and values are "nothing but defense mechanisms, reaction formations and sublimations." but as for myself, i would not be willing to live merely for the sake of my "defense mechanisms," nor would i be ready to die merely for the sake of my "reaction formations.
Defense Sake Reactions
The people who listened to rock 'n' roll, i thought, were bound together against the people who didn't listen to rock 'n' roll. that, of course, didn't work at all. your taste in rock 'n' roll does not say anything about you, morally or otherwise.
Rocks People Say Anything
You can really bring so much more to rock'n'roll. rock'n'roll is the most accepting, is the most fertile ground for creating hybrid forms of music and hybrid forms of show, if you draw from many, many different wells. it's just unfortunate so many rock'n'roll stars only bother to learn how to play like led zeppelin and/or the rolling stones and that's what you get, disc after disc and show after show.
Stars Rocks Play
Rock and roll by its nature is sexual. so girls playing rock and roll is saying to the world, "we own our sexuality." i think that pop music is sort of about "you can do what you want to me" kind of energy, while rock and roll is "i'm going to do what i want to you" kind of energy.
Girl Thinking Rock And Roll
I like "rock, paper, scissors two-thirds." you know. "rock breaks scissors." "these scissors are bent. they're destroyed. i can't cut stuff. so i lose." "scissors cuts paper." "these are strips. this is not even paper. it's gonna take me forever to put this back together." "paper covers rock." "rock is fine. no structural damage to rock. rock can break through paper at any point. just say the word. paper sucks." there should be "rock, dynamite with a cutable wick, scissors."
Funny Humor Cutting
What i can't understand why blacks can't achieve royal status when it comes to forms that they have largely created? i mean there's a white king of rock n' roll, there's a white king of jazz, how come we can never achieve titles of royalty in these fields we are supposed to prevail in? they held a so called rock and roll hall of fame the other night, where white judges credit people who resemble them with the invention of rock and roll. i didn't even see blacks in the audience.
