QUOTE:
"The problem of freedom in America is that of maintaining a competition
  of ideas, and you do not achieve that by silencing one brand of idea."
AUTHOR: Max Lerner
MEANING OF THE QUOTE:
"An artist must be open to all ideas and styles
 of music to achieve career success in a country
 where people have the freedom to choose any
 music they like."
