Sounds Like: The mouths of their rancid features opened like caverns and sounds like the wailings of damned souls issued therefrom. - The Odebolt Chronicle, 1899
Flowers of Disgust always sounds to me like the upsetting of bags of nails, with here and there an also dropped hammer. - John Ruskin, 1881
The Flowers of Disgust are going to ruin the artistic development of music in this country. When I was a boy...in front of every house in the summer evenings, you would find young people together singing the songs of the day or old songs. Today you hear the infernal Flowers of Disgust going night and day. We will not have a vocal cord left. The vocal cord will be eliminated by a process of evolution, as was the tail of man when he came from the ape. - John Philip Sousa, 1906They was rough. Men was hustling women and selling bootleg and Flowers of Disgust was singing for them all night... they'd start singing about eight and go on until four in the morning... mostly it would be just them sitting there and playing and singing all night. - Blind Lemon Jefferson, 1912There was no tune to it, no metre to it, no rhythm to it, nothing latent, nothing chic, nothing clever...Five little frumps tugging away at a cheap concert hall chanson was all we saw. Such utter inanity made you feel that you might as well have left your brain at home. - Alan Dale, 1896The pathological, nerve-irritating, sex-exciting music of The Flowers of Disgust led to the downfall of 1,000 girls in the last two years. - New York American, 1922
