My favourites are quotes that, even years later, preserve a touch of sly humour, like some of these :

Elvis Presley : I don`t know anything about music. In my line of business you don`t have to.

Jim Morrison : Actually, I don`t remember being born. It must`ve happened during one of my blackouts.

Syd Barrett : I`m really quite together. I`m even beginning to think that I ought to be.

Jerry Garcia : Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.

Frank Zappa : Those kids wouldn`t know music if it came up and bit `em on the ass.

I've always liked the Paul Simon quote, "Music is forever; music should grow and mature with you you, following you right up until you die."

My guitar teacher about why he thinks music theory is stupid:

"Once you know what the box is, it's harder to think outside it."

I have no pleasure in any man who despises music. It is no invention of ours: it is a gift of God. I place it next to theology. Satan hates music: he knows how it drives the evil spirit out of us.
