About this Quote

In this quote, Terry Kath is expressing his disbelief and aggravation at a man who convinced his band to alter their name to "The Big Thing." The male kept highlighting that rock music was the "huge thing" and that their band required to be a part of it. This pressure eventually led to the band altering their name, which Terry discovers ludicrous. He is likely frustrated that this guy's viewpoint had such a strong influence on their band's identity. This quote likewise highlights the pressure and hype surrounding the rock music scene at the time, with everybody making every effort to be the next big thing.
