Husbands are chiefly good as lovers when they are betraying their wives.
No one's played on the moon yet. No one's played in zero gravity. Some bands have played at the Pyramids of Giza but we'd very much like to do that in the near future.
It's funny when bands or younger musicians ask me: 'So what does it take to make it?' Well first explain to me what you mean by 'making it': Do you want to be a rock star or do you want music to be your livelihood?

This man is freed from servile bands Of hope to rise or fear to fall Lord of himself though not of lands And leaving nothing yet hath all.
One of the pleasant duties of America's most famous announcers during the relatively short swing era of the big bands was to host late-night remotes from some of the most famous ballrooms throughout the country.
It breaks my heart to see these young really talented bands getting chewed up into the system. I remember a time if you'd signed to a major label it was such a sell out! But now... unless you've signed to a big label you're a failure now.
