My favourites are quotes that, even years later, preserve a touch of sly humour, like some of these :

Elvis Presley : I don`t know anything about music. In my line of business you don`t have to.

Jim Morrison : Actually, I don`t remember being born. It must`ve happened during one of my blackouts.

Syd Barrett : I`m really quite together. I`m even beginning to think that I ought to be.

Jerry Garcia : Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.

Frank Zappa : Those kids wouldn`t know music if it came up and bit `em on the ass.

Dave Lee Roth - "you know, after all the deductions for the promoters, the record label and tax, there's usually enough for all of us to........

I've always liked the Paul Simon quote, "Music is forever; music should grow and mature with you you, following you right up until you die."

My guitar teacher about why he thinks music theory is stupid:

"Once you know what the box is, it's harder to think outside it."

I have no pleasure in any man who despises music. It is no invention of ours: it is a gift of God. I place it next to theology. Satan hates music: he knows how it drives the evil spirit out of us.
