Summary

This quote suggests that life often presents bizarre and unexpected situations that are hard to believe, while fiction must create plausibility. In real life, things can happen in peculiar ways without the need for logical explanation or justification. Fiction, on the other hand, needs to establish a believable narrative that persuades its readers or viewers. Life's uncanny intricacies and unexplained occurrences make it more peculiar and intriguing than anything that can be imagined in the realm of fiction.

All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock, I don't subscribe to any of that. It's all just music. I mean, the heavy metal from the '70s sounds nothing like the stuff from the '80s, and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the '90s. Who's to say what is and isn't a certain type of music?
