"I never could get over the fact that The Pixies formed, worked and separated without America taking them to its heart or even recognizing their existence for the most part"

- David Bowie

About this Quote

In this quote, David Bowie reveals his disbelief and frustration that the band The Pixies did not receive the recognition and success in America that he thinks they was worthy of. He is amazed that a gifted and dedicated band like The Pixies might form, work, and disband without ever being accepted by American audiences. Bowie seems to suggest that this lack of recognition is a reflection of a bigger issue in the American music industry, where truly talented and innovative artists are typically ignored or underappreciated. Overall, this quote highlights the aggravation and oppression that can happen in the music market, where success is not always a reflection of true skill and effort.
