Quote
  • 'Johnny, uh, some kids on the show yesterday mentioned a new kind of music – Ska. You know anything about it?'
  • 'Nothing but a modern off-shoot of Reggae, updated white rock influences...definitely upbeat. It'll never become really popular, because even though they've made the backbeat more conventional, it's still too exotic for mass acceptance.'
