I'm mortified…
…that nobody has as yet quoted that Redd Kross tune.

Anyone who thinks the Chilli Peppers ">>>" Kiss has seriously got rocks in the head.

Not sure that quote is 100% accurate (isn't it: "Ties? We got em?"), but man that was a good opening.

The last three words of that sentence were redundant.

Lovecraft, the best way to cut yourself is to attempt to remove a section of steel spouting using an angle grinder and a cheap pair of tin snips.

On the evidence of a scratchy copy of 'Peter Paul & Mary In Concert' last heard about 25 years ago I'd have to say that Paul Stookey was a not bad stand up comedian in the 'vocal sound effects' category. That was the only bit I ever listened to. "*That* was the sound of a golf ball." Priceless.

Action Swingers, the fast one.

Reunion shows are never any good.

I love you, Sheriff Truman.

Big Star's first album reminds me of what it was like to be a kid growing up in small town America in the 70's; no mean feat since I actually did no such thing.

I love his guitar on 'Show Biz Kids.'

Not to be a contrarian, but I don't think I've ever been as disappointed by a film as I was by 'The Long Goodbye.'

I dunno, when the whole point of a long song is that it's long, I wonder if there's any point in listening.

For his next album
he should team up with Glenn Danzig & do an album of dodgy ersatz classical music.

Nice Big Starsie.

Cat lover! Get him before he marries my daughter!!

Everything Kim Fowley touches turns to…uh…gold.

You take a long sock, tie it around a cat's middle, and the cat will fall over, every time, and it's hilarious because everybody hates cats and loves to see them made sport of.

What about Damn Yankees?
