So you got the cool New Yorkers and then there are the less-than-cool New Yorkers.

I always thought it would be really cool to be playing the drums in the show and then have your astral body or whatever travel all through the audience and dig whatever it's like out there.

Honestly I'm cool with everyone and people pick up on that. I'd say 'I'm not gay but it's all good.' It's kind of like going to Paris when you don't know the language some Americans get into trouble over there but I'm just like 'Sorry I don't speak French.'

My dad was kind of a pool shark and had a Frank Sinatra Dean Martin thing going on. I've always been fascinated by the fifties because of him. There was a hip cool anything-goes atmosphere back then but looking good was still a priority.

I never saw music in terms of men and women or black and white. There was just cool and uncool.

I think the great sketch shows like 'Python' and 'Mr. Show ' they didn't stick around for very long. There's something kind of cool about that.

There's no point in swanning through and being cool as a breeze in every scene. It's not really that interesting. Even if you're a superhero.

And looking at today's music scene I think it's cool that there are a lot of consumers and fans not limited by what radio and the record companies tell them to buy.

With all of you men out there who think that having a thousand different ladies is pretty cool I have learned in my life I've found out that having one woman a thousand different times is much more satisfying.

Lonnie was ahead of his time but at the same time he was right in there with Albert Collins's Cool Sounds.
