Quotes by Saul Austerlitz (?)

“was odd that so much intellectual energy was invested into defining, and contrasting, the two signature groups of the British Invasion when what united them both was a restless experimentalism and a desire to expand outward, from the simple to the complex.”
― Saul Austerlitz, Just a Shot Away: Peace, Love, and Tragedy with the Rolling Stones at Altamont
