Sing like nobody's listening

Dance like nobody's watching

May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

Just read a quote from Hunter S. Thompson (American journalist and all-round gonzoid). I may have come across it before but had forgotten about it. It's about the music industry. I find it hard to disagree with:

"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.
There's also a negative side."

Hilarious and well-observed, in my opinion !!!

Absolutely Pat. I was always struck by a quote I heard from a famous philosopher - might have been Nietzsche : "Most men live their lives in quiet desperation".

I read that many years ago, thought it was a very sad, if true, statement. I always determined I would not be that man (and so I live my life in noisy desperation lol)

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all"

Again Oscar Wilde.

I can so relate to this quote.

Couple good quotes on ageing:

- Oscar Wilde (roughly!): "On attaining the age of 50, one has the face that one deserves"!

- Oscar Wilde again: "...to get back to my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early or be respectable..." (sounds like some of us on here - put that mirror away!!!)

I got a giggle today while listening to a few old Woody Guthrie songs on YouTube. One of the comments from some disrespectful kid:  "This guy sounds like an alcoholic Kermit the frog with throat cancer"
....and he kinda does HAH!

Not a quote exactly, but a very descriptive sentence from a book I'm reading (one of the Jack Reacher series - but short stories), about a band playing in a bar. I think it's brilliant:

" The band looked like it had been put together by accident after a misfiling incident at a talent agency."

I think that's magic - highly descriptive, humorous, you can see it in your minds eye, a crowd of completely mismatched people. Super stuff ...
