"The rawness and the richness of music on vinyl almost went away, but it still seems to be on a lot of people's radar, and for good reason. It does something different than more accessible means of music playing, like MP3 players and downloads and whatnot. You get in front of these archaic contraptions that go 'round and 'round." - Billy Gibbons, born this day in 1949.
"They looked at me like I was some kind of threat. [Mick] Jagger really tried to put me down, but there was no way some crude, lippy guy was going to do a number on me. I was always able to squelch him. I found out that if you stand up to Mick, he crumbles." - Anita Pallenberg
"I've got a quote for you, a good quote to describe Television...In madness there is order. I never practice. I just write songs and take solos." - Tom Verlaine, born this day in 1949.
OT action in the Grey Cup. Fun game.
"People of the world, the next time you see a live band, and they go up there and do top ten material, or shuck around material, you oughta turn on them and say PLAY THE MUSIC - either play the music or GET OFF THE STAND. Tell them that." - Rob Tyner of the MC5, born this day in 1944.
“White or black. rich or poor. if you ever had your heart broken you have a right to sing the blues” - Big Mama Thornton, born this day in 1926
"I see myself as an intelligent, sensitive human, with the soul of a clown which forces me to blow it at the most important moments." - Jim Morrison, born this day in 1943.
"Basically I'm always singing about the same stuff whether it's in a loud or quiet outfit." - Mark Lanegan, born this day in 1964.
"I actually got into music because of art and because of skateboarding: All those graphics and punk bands and fanzines - they were glued together in my brain. I never really planned on playing music. It just sort of decided on me. And I don't know what the hell I would have done otherwise." - Alison Mosshart
"The specter of color is apparent even when it goes unmentioned, and it is all too often the unseen force that influences public policy as well as private relationships. There is nothing more remarkable than the ingenuity that the various demarcations of the color line reflect. If only the same creative energy could be used to eradicate the color line; then it's days would indeed be numbered." - Dr. John. Right on.
"I am so happy I am out of that absolutely insane situation. I was making a record all by myself, watching a bunch of people lay around on a couch and watch TV. I think that was pissing me off a little bit." - Jay Bennett, born this day in 1963, on his ouster from Wilco.
"“Some people are so worried that there is not enough pie to go around, and that lifting up others limits their own opportunity. The need to feel better than someone in order to feel good about oneself is an age old insecurity." - Erika Wennerstrom.
That one's for you, @GritNGlitter
"Studios are passe for me. I'd rather play in a garage, in a truck, or a rehearsal hall, a club, or a basement." - Neil Young, born this day in 1945.
"We did a gig at the Marquee and we were supposed to be paid five pounds but we never got it, and it cost us something like 10 pounds in petrol to get there to do it. So what we did was steal some equipment from The Marquee." - Andy Partridge, born this day in 1953.
"The world's worst is when you find yourself going like Mother Hubbard and cupping your hand behind your ear. I was a major glutton for volume: 'Gotta feel it, gotta hear it.' Sooner or later you're going to pay the reaper." - Mick Fleetwood. Wear those earplugs, kids.
"I don't really understand that process called reincarnation, but if there is such a thing, I'd like to come back as my daughter's dog." - Leonard Cohen, 5 years gone today.
"I take it not only a day at a time, but a moment at a time, and keep it at that pace. If you can be happy right now, then you’ll always be happy, because it’s always in the now." - Willie Nelson
"I think pure country music includes rock and roll...I've never been able to get into the further label of country-rock...how can you define something like that ? I just say this: It's music. Either it's good or it's bad; either you like it or you don't." - Gram Parsons, born this day in 1946. -
