Movie nation weekly quote
"Pop culture 
is a culture in which people tell themselves, and tell each other, stories about the modern market. That doesn't mean the billboard Elektra Records put up over Sunset Strip to announce the Doors' first album, a marketing first; it means an unknown station playing unknown music, until both turn into secrets everyone wants to tell. The modern market is a field of rumors and tall tales, promises and threats, warnings and prophecies: as people talk, pop culture is landscape and the change of seasons, war and peace, the clearing of forests and the building of cities, religious revivals and moral panics, wealth and poverty, adventure and discovery, citizenship and exile."
Greil Marcus, "The Doors: A Lifetime of Listening to Five Mean Years" (to be published in November)
