Dave Grohl
“I started doing radio at KMPX, the first of the underground rock 'n' roll stations.”

“Rock never really dies. It just goes underground,”
Bret Michaels

Jonathan Richman
“We're all made of stories. When they finally put us underground, the stories are what will go on. Not forever, perhaps, but for a time. It's a kind of immortality, I suppose, bounded by limits, it's true, but then so's everything.”
Charles de Lint
“Anyway, it's good to be sent back to the underground. There's always a good side to bad things and the good side to this is that at least everyone has to go back down.”
Joe Strummer
