Are you sure this is correct?

I'm thinking the exact quote is "Fuck you Gazza, will ya?"

Accuracy is important when quoting.  :whydontcha

That is the correct quote but that one is NOT annonymous, it was a creation of our great friend Jair "Coca Buena" Motta from Brazil

Well, it's a lyric, but I find it very inspiring and symbolic: "When all are one and one is all, to be a rock and not to roll".
If I ever got a tattoo, it'd be these lines.

P.S. Should we conclude Jair's gone for good? Haven't seen him around in years! Pity, I'm sure we'd get another classic quote.

A couple of years ago, a couple of geniuses put on something called Woodstock Festival. It was a tragedy. Groups recognised that they could go into larger cattle markets, play less time and make more dollars. What they've done is to destroy the rock industry.

here's a word from the girls:!

You know, Neil Young is singing Rock n' roll will never die, and Neil never rocked and rolled in his life. I mean, he rocked, but he didn't roll. He has got no swing in him.
Joni Mitchell

I got treated very badly in Texas. They don't treat beatniks too good in Texas. Port Arthur people thought I was a beatnik, though they'd never seen one and neither had I.
Janis Joplin

If civilization had been left in female hands we would still be living in grass huts.
Camille Paglia

I'm worth more dead than alive. Don't cry for me after I'm gone; cry for me now.
Marlene Dietrich

and marlene keeps on giving

The weak are more likely to make the strong weak than the strong are likely to make the weak strong.
Marlene Dietrich

and giving

Think twice before burdening a friend with a secret.
Marlene Dietrich


that's rock and roll

'All right, actually I get asked... well, look, the question I get asked the most is... well, I mean, it happens a lot, okay, enough that I would remark on it... a lot of people come up to me and they say Tom, is it possible for a woman to get pregnant without intercourse?... and-uh... my answer's always the same, I say, well listen, we'll have to go all the way back to the Civil War... uh... apparently, a stray bullet actually pierced the testicle of a Union soldier and then lodged itself in the ovules of an eighteen-year old girl who was actually a hundred feet from him at the time... uh... well, the baby was fine, she was very happy, guilt-free... and... 'course the soldier was a little pissed off... well, when you think about it, it's actually a form of intercourse, but... not for everyone. Those who love action, maybe.' - Tom Waits.

“People! There are two ways, there are TWO WAYS I can talk to you people tonight. I can talk to you people like this is an audience at a rock and roll concert. Or I can talk to you people like you were our friends. Now, we have been to Los Angeles enough times to know that the people who came here tonight are most definitely OUR FRIENDS. Now I want to tell you a little story. But this is just between you and me. But I want to caution all you people: this story is a little bit… DIRTY. So if any of you people are offended by that kind of stuff, GET THE FUCK OUT. ARE YOU READY LOS ANGELES?! Because I’m gonna warn you one more time: this story has to do with S-E-X. This afternoon… this afternoon, we flew into Los Angeles, California, we landed in LAX airport, must’ve been about 3:30 this afternoon, and we was walkin’ through the terminal when all of a sudden a stewardess comes walkin’ over to me and says, ‘Are you in a band?’ And you know the way I dress. I looked at this girl and I said, ‘No, sweetheart, I am not in a band; I am a doctor.’ She said, ‘Really?!’ I said, ‘Baby, I am DOCTOR LOVE.’ Then she says to me, ‘You’re really a doctor, huh?’ And I said, ‘Baby, not only am I a doctor, but you see these guys over here? We are aaaaaaall doctors, and we are on our way to the Forum tonight to do a serious, major operation.’ Now, I’m lookin’ this girl upside down, I’m lookin’ her up, I’m lookin’ her down, I’m lookin’ at her sideways, and all of a sudden she says, ‘You know something? I know who you are. You are in a band.’ And I said to her, ‘Baby, I am not in a band, I am in THE band!!’” - Paul Stanley

"Fuck the little people - I hate all people!" - Lou Reed.

"I've never been able to understand the seriousness of it all, the seriousness of pride. People talk, act, live as if they're never going to die. And what do they leave behind? Nothing. Nothing but a mask". - Bob Dylan.

"I think it's really tragic when people get serious about stuff. It's such an absurdity to take anything really seriously ... I make an honest attempt not to take anything seriously: I worked that attitude out about the time I was eighteen, I mean, what does it all mean when you get right down to it, what's the story here? Being alive is so weird." - Frank Zappa.

I read somewhere that 77 per cent of all the mentally ill live in poverty. Actually, I'm more intrigued by the 23 per cent who are apparently doing quite well for themselves.

I think it's too bad that everybody's decided to turn on drugs, I don't think drugs are the problem. Crime is the problem. Cops are the problem. Money's the problem. But drugs are just drugs.
