24 Hour Party People - Tony Wilson

Little did you know, rebellious youth, you were being constrained, controlled, hand-cuffed; held tight in the melodic restriction of the 1-4-5 tonal system. Fuckers. Some men rob you with a six gun and some with Western tonal systems. [...] But punk. Just fucking hit it, son... And if knowing three chords is too much, which it is, if "learning things" isn't on your to-do list, then know just one, just one chord. It's an F shape, and how fucking appropriate that it should be an F. And you just run it up and down that fretboard. Go anywhere, up and down, whatever feels right and makes you and your mates jump up and down.
