    Children are naive -- they trust everyone. School is bad enough, but, if you put a child anywhere in the vicinity of a church, you're asking for trouble.


    -Frank Zappa

    i could go with the cheesy: "when the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." - jimi hendirx

    but i think my favorite is this concert in japan... he just spits out random shit cause the crowd can't understand them.

    Chris Novoselic (Nirvana): Look! It's a giant Hollywood cigarette! With enough tar to tar a parking lot this size. And while we're on the issue of astrology, i wonder if jesse holmestein has cancer.
    Crowd: (Cheers) OOOOOH!
    Kurt: I think ohhoooh means shut up, chris.

    "I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up and gasps "Oh look at that!" Then - whoosh, and I'm gone... and they'll never see anything like it ever again, and they won't be able to forget me - ever."

    - Jim Morrison
