“Any kind of art can create that sense that you’re in the right place at the right time, and you wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I think the greatest rock and roll song ever, if I really had to choose, is “Gimme Shelter” by the Rolling Stones. It’s been on the radio since the day it came out. It’s still the most played Rolling Stone song on the radio. I’ve heard that song countless times; I know every iota of it. But when I’m listening to it, I get swept up and I don’t know what’s coming next. I was once listening to that on the freeway when a car cut in front of me and I had to swerve into the next lane without even looking if there was someone in it. “Gimme Shelter” was playing as loud as I could make it, and I thought, if this is when I have to go out, this is the way to go.” Greil Marcus, Bookforum
