Red Crayola: "...THE IDEOLOGICAL FEATURES OF ANY WORK AS A FUNCTION OF CONSUMER RELATIONS...
Andy Gill, New Musical Express, 21 July 1979
...AS OPPOSED TO DEMOCRATIC ORGANISATIONAL IMPERATIVES; SECTIONAL MILITANCY AS OPPOSED TO PRIVATISED MILITANCY, OF WHICH YOU FIND A GREAT DEAL IN POP MUSIC — THE CRITICAL FACTOR IS THE ABILITY TO EXPAND ON PRIVATISED MILITANCY, THE POSSIBILITY FOR SOCIAL MILITANCY IN GENERAL AS OPPOSED TO PRIVATE, CONSUMERIST MILITANCY."
No doubt about it, pop pickers — ol' MAYO THOMPSON of THE RED CRAYOLA knows a chart-bound sound when it hits him with the OED. Ain't keeping the formula secret either. Words: ANDY GILL
