David Bowie on Rock 'n' Roll

Rock has always been the devil’s music. You can’t convince me that it isn’t.

[...]

I honestly believe everything that I’ve said. I believe that rock & roll is dangerous. It could well bring about a very evil feeling in the West. [...] And that’s where I see it [Rock 'n' Roll] heading, bringing about the dark era. [...] I feel that we’re only heralding something even darker than ourselves. [...]

David Bowie quoted in Rolling Stone, no. 206 (February 12, 1976), p. 83.
