Teenagers are like atoms when they're moving at hundreds of miles an hour and bouncing off each other.

Teenagers especially are very, very conscious about what is hip and what is lame and what is square and what is out and what is in, you know. And, I mean, I grew up right there in the middle of a black culture. And I knew dead-on what it was. Jerry Leiber blackconsciousculture share on social
