Sid Vicious "My Way" Cover
"It is vital to remain mindful of the fact that changes take place within the works, not simply in the people who interpret them. The state of turth in works corrresponds to the state of truth in history. This is the only convincing way to disprove the objection that one need only change people sufficiently, reawaken their lost sense of scale, form and inwardness, and works that bore them today will bloom once more for them, inducing them to turn away from kitsch in favour of the true originals." Adorno, Night Music, pp. 86-7
