Adolescence

"Rock 'n' roll is basically institutionalized adolescence. And the bottom line of rock ‘n’ roll is that it’s a baby food industry and Phil found a new formula for baby food."--Albert Goldman in Phil Spector: He's a Rebel (1982) by Binia Tymieniecka, from 50:00 unwards "We had no parents in them, that's one of the important things. We never had any parents in the "Beach" pictures. [...] The ideal world for a teenager is a parentless existence. No parents to shout at 'em, no parents to lecture at 'em, no adults to rule them, to teach them, to mock them, to jail them. That was really what it was all about."--Samuel Z. Arkoff in Schlock! The Secret History of American Movies (2001) "We made I Was a Teenage Werewolf, I Was a Teenage Caveman, I Was a Teenage Frankenstein. The word "teenage," to the best of my knowledge, had never appeared on any picture throughout the world prior to that time. Because the teenagers had never been recognized as other than the category of children."--Samuel Z. Arkoff in Schlock! The Secret History of American Movies (2001) |
