"That is a nice short version, you wanna pick it up?"

"Was it too short?  Well, if I feel like my song is sung, I don't care if it's short.  And I feel like my song is sung."

-Johnny Cash, after singing "You are my Sunshine" on Cash Unearthed

Well...

"Well, that's what we want.  We want people to shit themselves."
-Britt Daniel (of Spoon)

Throw everything in the world

"You pricks can throw everything in the world, and your girlfriend will still love me.”

-Iggy Pop, in response to audience members throwing bottles, cans, etc. at the stage during the Stooges’ last performance, Detroit, 1974

Last words during that performance:

"You nearly killed me, but you missed again, so you'll have to try next week."

That word has been my whole life

"I like the word 'jazz'! That word has been my whole life. I understand the cats when they take exception to the name... But to me, that's my whole life."
-Dexter Gordon
