"What do I think the future of rock ‘n’ roll music is? What’s being played in a garage band today. The whole joy of rock ‘n’ roll music was anybody could play it if they wanted to. But the ’60s fouled that whole thing up. Everybody decided to get good and they pursued virtuosity. The thing that ruined music was virtuosity – competence – as an end in itself." - Sterling Morrison.

"Everybody has a different guess about what was thrown off the bridge—flowers, a ring, even a baby. Anyone can think what they want but the real message of the song, if there must be a message, revolves around the nonchalant way the family talks about the suicide. They sit there eating their peas and apple pie and talking, without even realizing that Billie Joe’s girlfriend is sitting at the table." - Bobbie Gentry
