'I've been in some beautiful places, but the prettiest sight is flying back to New Orleans. Being able to look down and say, 'I know where I am now.' - Aaron Neville

Happy birthday to Vince Neil and his comedic genius...
"We need balance. We need to balance our inner life with our outer life. Nature is always sitting there waiting to help us, but we have to do the work. Nature is probably the greatest teacher that we'll ever have... the earth and nature." - Dave Davies, born this day in 1947.
"Don't waste the time. Time is the final currency, man. Not money, not power - it's time." - David Crosby. RIP. Thanks for everything.
Baby, why don't we? Baby, why don't we...
"The only good political movement I've seen lately was Occupy Wall Street. They had no leaders, which was genius. But unfortunately, it always ends up with some hippy playing a flute." - John Lydon, born this day in 1956. Always funny. Always spot-on.
"The only person who listens to both sides of an argument is the fellow in the next apartment." - Ruth Brown, born this day in 1928.
"The two things you can't fake are good food and good music." - Etta James, born this day in 1938.
"To me, the message of my songs, of all songs, is "enjoy life." My message as a person who evidently doesn't have much more planned is the same. It's the only message I ever thought art had any business having. Enjoy every sandwich." - Warren Zevon, born this day in 1947.
"Jazz attracted me because in it I found a formal perfection and instrumental precision that I admire in classical music, but which popular music doesn't have." – Django Reinhardt, born this day in 1910.
"I don't think success arrives and you're suddenly happy. It's not like that. If people think that they'll be very disappointed. It's just as difficult to live in a self-made hell of privacy as it is to live in a self-made hell of publicity." - Michael Hutchence, born this day in 1960.
As far back as I can remember, my life has been intertwined with music. In the last few years, so many of my musical heroes have checked out. It's a bummer. It's depressing. It's a slap in the face from mortality. It makes the infinite joy of music feel finite. And that's a total drag.
Shit - RIP Van Connor.
"Sometimes you have to let everything go - purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything - whatever is bringing you down - get rid of it. Because you will find that when you are free, your true creativity, your true self comes out." - Tina Turner
"I'm just following the Irish tradition of songwriting, the Irish way of life, the human way of life. Cram as much pleasure into life, and rail against the pain you have to suffer as a result. Or scream and rant with the pain and wait for it to be taken away with beautiful pleasure." - Shane MacGowan
“I was in a rock band, I played with a bunch of Brazilians, I played R&B with Parliament-Funkadelic and all of that. I mean, I’ve done jazz with Miles Davis and Cannonball Adderley and played with Frank Zappa. It’s a goulash. It’s a gumbo.” - George Duke, born this day in 1946.
"For me a chameleon is something that disguises itself to look as much like its environment as possible. I always thought I did exactly the opposite of that." - David Bowie, lost this day in 2016.
"Tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming." - David Bowie, lost this day in 2016.
"One day I realized that I really needed to stop losing myself in my work and in my addictions. What happens is you just wake up one morning and feel absolutely dead. You can't even drag your soul back into your body. You feel you have negated everything that is wonderful about life. When you have fallen that far, it feels like a miracle when you regain your love of life." - David Bowie, lost this day in 2016. -
