Thanks for everything, Oddball...
A free Willie Nelson/Bob Dylan/Robert Plant/Allison Krause ticket 20 rows back has fallen into ye olde lap and has been properly and graciously received.
"Paint pictures with sound. Find your white-the deepest, roundest sound you can play on the guitar. Find your black-which is the most extreme tonal difference from white you can play. Now, just pick the note where you've got white, pick it where you've got black, and then find all those colors in between. Get those colors down. You'll be able to express any emotion on the guitar." - Les Paul, born this day in 1915
"When you sit down to write something, there should be no guidelines. The main idea is not supposed to be, 'How many different ways can we sell it?' That's so far away from the true spirit of what music is." - Prince Rogers Nelson, born this day in 1958.
"It's not about being upset about the things you might have said or done yesterday, which is quite appropriate at the moment. It's about looking forward rather than looking back. I hate people who look back on the past or talk about what might have been. You can't afford to think about what might have been. You just be aware of what is." - Noel Gallagher, born this day in 1967.
"People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent." - Bob Dylan, born this day in 1941.
"I was never worried that synthesizers would replace musicians. First of all, you have to be a musician in order to make music with a synthesizer. One always has to remember these days where the garbage pail is, because it's so easy to make sounds, and to put sounds together into something that appears to be music, but it's just as hard as it always was to make good music." - Robert Moog, born this day in 1934.
“Music is like the soul of the planet. My mother was American, and my father was from the Caribbean, and there was a big open door into the world of humanity and music.” - Taj Mahal, born this day in 1942.
Pretty crazy seeing vivid northern lights way down here in NC.
"Find people who think like you and stick with them. Make only music you are passionate about. Work only with people you like and trust. Don't sign anything." - Steve Albini, thanks for everything.
Looks like Lee Newman went into Michael Caine's office in 'Dressed To Kill' and came out as @TrainFan73.
"I burp like everyone else and I'm promiscuous. I have tried sex with both men and women. I found I liked it." - Dusty Springfield, born this day in 1939.
"When I sing the blues, I am free from the shackles of society's expectations. The blues is a language that transcends race, gender, and age. Through the blues, I have found my purpose, my reason for being." - Bessie Smith, born this day in 1894.
"TV does not care about you or what happens to you. It's downright bad for your health now, and that's not a far-out concept. I think watching the TV news is bad for you. It is bad for your physical health and your mental health." - Tom Petty
Hopefully this FAU / Northwestern officiating crew doesn't get to work another game. Horrendous.
"You're the luckiest person in the entire world if you know what you really want to do, which I was lucky enough to know when I was very young. And you're the luckiest person in the world if you can then make a living out of it." - Andrew Lloyd Webber -
