MUSIC:

  • "I met a girl who sang the blues
    I asked her for some happy news
    She just smiled and turned away . . . "
    --my favorite lines in American Pie, by Don McLean.

  • "Old hymns are best sung by drunken agnostics around a campfire."
    --no idea where I got it, don't know who said it . . . but I like it!

  • "Those who dance are considered insane by those who cannot hear the music."--George Carlin

  • Conversation between two performers on Prairie Home Companion earlier today:
    Pianist:"My watch plays a little ode in honor of Beethoven's birthday . . ."
    (presses a button on her watch, which then plays "Ode to Joy" several times)
    Violinist:(after third or fourth repetition)"Yes, that song is getting a little ode . . ."

  • "I know I'll sell out to the first asshole who offers me a million dollars
    But I'd like to make some music with my friends along the way"
    --Megan Peters, 'Beautiful.'

  • "The only good thing to come out of religion was the music."--George Carlin.
