12:14

Their story encouraged others like the Jesus Lizard or even early hip hop producers to value process over product.

speaker_1UNKNOWN

13:31

And think about how many modern guitarists talk about Television licks.

speaker_1UNKNOWN

12:47

The punk aesthetic didn't stay stuck in music halls.

speaker_1UNKNOWN

12:51

It spread to streetwear, album artwork, and even political posters.
