"What I most deplore is the use of solid-state electronics by rock and roll musicians to raise the level of sound to where it is both painful and injurious. Sometimes one wonders whether the will to survive will ever really triumph over the human propensity for self-destruction." -Walter Brattain, transistor inventor and Nobel Prize winner
