"The song is sort of a study in unconscious cruelty. But everybody seems more concerned with what was thrown off the bridge than they are with the thoughtlessness of people expressed in the song." - Bobbie Gentry
"I believe virtually everything I read, and I think that is what makes me more of a selective human than someone who doesn't believe anything." - David St. Hubbins (Spinal Tap), born this day in 1947.
"Your voice is your identity. If you don't use it, you're halfway to Asphodel already." - Nico, born this day in 1938.
"I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt, She personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately and she would take a front table every night. The owner said yes. Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman – ahead of her times. And she didn’t know it." - Ella Fitzgerald
"I've been imitated so well I've heard people copy my mistakes." - Jimi Hendrix
"I was eating in a Chinese restaurant downtown. There was a dish called Mother and Child Reunion. It's chicken and eggs. And I said, I gotta use that one." - Paul Simon, born this day in 1941.
"When I die they'll say, 'He couldn't play shit but he sure made it sound good." - Hound Dog Taylor
"We formed a band where nobody could play and pursued punk ethics to the numb-teenth degree. We were only supposed to be The Gang Of Four’s support band." - Jon Langford (The Mekons)
"As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot." - John Lennon, born this day in 1940.
"Songs don't wear out. Good songs are good now. If they were a comfort during those hard times in the past, they'll be a comfort in today's age." - Levon Helm
"One of the interesting things here is that the people who should be shaping the future are politicians. But the political framework itself is so dead and closed that people look to other sources, like artists, because art and music allow people a certain freedom." - Thom Yorke, born this day in 1968.
"They said, 'If we put you in first class with Brian Wilson, will you do it?' So I flew after not having flown in eight years. If there's one person who doesn't like flying as much as me, it's Brian. I figured if the plane goes down, I'll go with a great genius and will always have my name connected with his." - Matthew Sweet, born this day in 1964.
"If I hold back, I'm no good. I'm no good. I'd rather be good sometimes, than holding back all the time." - Janis Joplin, lost this day in 1970.
"I use heavy strings, tune low, play hard, and floor it. Floor it. That's technical talk." - Stevie Ray Vaughan, born this day in 1954.
"I usually don't think of anyone ever suspecting that I might be someone who'd cry at stuff. I cry at movies all the time. And sometimes it really pisses me off because I hate it when they're just jerking my chain and it's just like completely manipulative." - Richard Hell, born this day in 1949.
"I look at my people, and I look at those who control them - the political elite. And the sad thing is that the elites are just not interested in the welfare of the people." - Youssou N'Dour, born this day in 1959. Sound familiar. -
