"While the Beatles and Stones were on Rock's stormfront, quirky groups like the Velvet Underground and the Stooges were bubbling up from strange subterranean pools."
"Just as parents and kids were uniting through the magic of The Carpenters and The Association, quirky sounds from the Sex Pistols were sending seniors scurrying for the covers."
"As the nation was drowning under mountains of mousse from hair bands like Whitesnake and Cinderella, bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam walloped us with a different kind of quirk."
"With Motown clogging listeners' eardrums, a blast had to happen. It consisted of quirky rhymes and rythmns and it was called Rap."
Yeah, I made it up, but I wish it would happen.
